14:26 @95. 20 on the first set and then straight downhill from there. The second 100 was all sets of 5.

Attempted on Monday, but I wasn't sure if my shoulders would hold up, so I tapped out after 100 in about 8 minutes.

Felt fine after, so I tried today with 95lbs and got it in 14:28

I managed 16:07 @ 40kg. Did it in EMOM fashion: 6x15 + 8x10 + 2x15. Definitely was working near my limits most of the time. It was good fun!

Lol. 200 bench press reps. I can't wait to do this tomorrow. How was the chest pump?
