27
Realized I was using way too much weight on bench because I wanted to look cool in front of the guys at the gym
For months I was grinding out 225 for 5 reps but my form was garbage elbows flared and my right shoulder always hurt. Switched to 185 and focused on a slow controlled negative with a 2 second pause at the bottom and now my chest finally feels worked the next day. Anyone else drop the ego to fix their numbers?

Dropped from 275 to 225 and finally felt my pecs for the first time in years.

Crazy how much changes when the weight drops off, huh @nina_butler?
