The more I bench at meets and see benching at meets, the more I am starting to lean towards a slightly lighter 2nd attempt. That lift frustrates so many people.

Thanks Steve, hopefully it’s only the start,
This was my first year at it and after 2 meets ive learned a lot, next one is in January , so looking for some good progress between now and then.
I keep saying it , but thanks again for all your help with the deadlift,
Also, thanks for such a great site , without it , I wouldn’t have stepped onto the platform this year.
