I remember the first time I bench pressed 225 pounds. I was in my mid-20’s and after barely being able to lift 145 pounds as a gangly teenager, I celebrated my accomplishment with more excitement than it warranted.
Nakumbuka mara ya kwanza mimi benchi taabu paundi 225. Mimi nilikuwa katika katikati ya 20 yangu na baada ya vigumu kuwa na uwezo wa kuinua paundi 145 kama kijana gangly, I sherehe accomplishment yangu na msisimko zaidi kuliko warranted.
