finally closing in on a 225 bench press
my bench has always been rather weak, but today i hit 200 for 5 reps (149 lbs bodyweight)
225 has been my goal for a while now, and i'm finally getting close to it!

200x5 is a solid lift. I am pretty sure you could hit 225 for at least a single next week when you train chest again.

225 feels good.. for about 5 minutes, then you want 310.

Don't get caught up in how much your benching, and get more caught up in how you look.

Nothing wrong with setting strength goals for yourself. It helps to keep a lot of people motivated.
