Great idea to get those paused reps going on the bench. Stout work indeed. Regarding the gym etiquette, I always invite others to work in because it's just good manners and I hope others would do the same for me. It can be a pain in the arse in the power rack like yesterday when I was doing clean and press (behind the rack so anyone who wanted to do squats could do so) and some guy wanted to do deadlifts. I allowed him in but ended up speeding up my 5x5 push press which wasn't a good idea. It's much easier to allow someone to share when you're both doing the same exercise!

Anyways, best of luck on the 4th of Feb

Nice benching Markie, beating the goal is good stuff.
It's also nice to hear a "good" gym story for a change.

Great benching! You'll do great in the meet, I have no doubt. Only a month away now!
