Since starting the shakes, I have been making more of an effort. Today I was at 215lb, 4 reps unassisted + 1 assisted. I am getting reasonably close to my goal of doing reps at 225lb. That is of course 2 45s on each end.
With a bit more time to lift, and someone to spot me, I think I could make more rapid strides. That set today was the first I have had someone to spot me.
Anyway, not a world-beating effort, but I am getting close to the strongest I have ever been on bench. And I have never been too serious about it.
