bench
so i just finished a round of exams and decided to celebrate by going to the beach with some friends. got super sun burnt out under the over cast sky. trained at worlds out that way with carlin and bennett. carlin hit a PR raw 285 and single ply 385 off the 2 board his 3rd time in the shirt and not since october probably. this got me inspired to ditch the plan of DE work
