Not that I'm complaining, the guy in my weight class benches and squats almost the same as I do, but I curl a lot more. All of that time I wasted only doing chest and biceps actually kinda paid off.....weird.

Bench - 280 (that was my third and final chance, I warmed up with 225, and then 265...I probably should've gone for 290..I think I could've got it.) Squat - 350 X 5. We did 5 reps because my teacher didn't want guys going for too heavy and hurting themselves. Didn't do curls. The other guy in my weight class benched 295, but failed on his 5 reps of 340 on the squat, which would've beaten my overall total by 5 pounds. SCORE!
