Yesterday I bench pressed 80lbs. EIGHTY POUNDS. EIGHT...ZERO...POUNDS! I was super stoked and immediately ran to the /r/xxfitness sidebar to look up what bear or cat that equates to so I could tell the world, just to see a saddening lack of anything between 50lbs and 100lbs. So, without further ado, here is a list of things that I (and you!) can lift that are 80lbs.
High fives all around!
@auwebber23 I got up to 80 bench press this week, too
yay thank you for all the cool 80 pound stuff!
@auwebber23 I started lifting about a month ago. I used to have trouble putting my carry-on in the overhead bin on an airplane. Guess who flew last week and put that thing up there so damn swiftly... THIS GIRL. I also just carried it right of the plane.
