Not sure if I had a 4th because the douche spotting me took it. Still 10 lbs better than last week.
I irrationally hate this way more than I should. Like, I haven't had to use a spotter in a long time since my g/f works out with me, but, I really would rather not have a spot from a bro than even have him near the bench. What I really want anyway is a lift-off which a bro isn't capable of doing correctly I don't think, even though they have plenty of practice assisting a lift, lift-off seems to mean jerking the damn bar almost out of my hands.

Finally remembered to take a video, form critiques are welcome.
It's very hard to see how your back is from that angle. It doesn't appear to be rounding much during reps, but it also didn't seem to necessarily get very tight before each rep - it kind of looked the same all the time. Since you're getting to what may be challenging weight for you, really getting your back tight my help your form not go to ****.
Also, this seemed awfully close to 295x3 + two singles. The first 3 didn't really look that difficult, what was the reason for such a full reset? A mental thing or to catch your breath?
Btw, what do I know, I don't think I've DLed 295 before (if I have it was for 1 rep months ago),
.
But overall I really thought your form was good - slightly surprised, I probably am misremembering you mentioning that your form probably wasn't very good a few times. But your form seemed pretty solid to me.

The minicores went to the doc yesterday for their one month checkup, and both gained 1.5 lbs in the last two weeks. Also, the wifeacore just told me that our second minicore learned how to roll over today, so they're both well ahead of that curve. Hard to believe the little guys are 1 month old already . . .
How is wifeacore? Hope she's progressing as well. Based on preliminary baby combine results, it seems the minicores' progress is in line with original projections.
