I'm pleased (sort of) with benching tonight. I'd like to see that 135lb getting up a lot easier than it is, but it will happen because I won't accept anything else.
What's bothering me most is the lack of core strength that I have. It's really pissing me off so my attention is being diverted to strengthening that area. A weak core just kills everything. 
Happy to have felt such a tight pump tonight,  a good burn going in my traps and having Justin tell me that I was getting a lot of muscles. Hearing that muscles in your back are now visible is a boost that maybe some people won't understand.  But to me, it means my work is becoming visible and if it's visible, it means there's progress. I'm even beginning to see some muscles separation on my thighs. They, however,  still have a long way to go. 
Confidence is there though. Along with determination and quiet drive.
