-Your sticking point on bench was 2 inches off chest, so that's probably a chest weakness, not tricep.
-We have similar lifts, do you have any goals laid out?
-update your sig!

Good job on the lifts!

thanks man. atm i have more long term goals of deadlifting 500 squatting 400 and benching 275. but overall i just want to get better.

No reason to be dropping the weight like that on all of the deadlifts but other then that good job.

However long it takes for you to keep the bar completly motionless on your chest. So if its still sinking into your chest or wobbling around you wont get a press command. Id say averadge pause time is 1-2 seconds.
