Last Heavy Bench Before Arnold

Saturday is usually my squat day but Rob Luyando was gonna be in town and who would turn down that opportunity. Everything was feeling really good during warmups and it stayed that way. I told Rob just to tell me what to do and thats how the day went. Touched my opener (560) twice, second attempt (585) to a half board, then my third (605) was supposed to be to a one board... After pressing what I thought was 605 which would have been a 5 lbs PR I got up and they told me it was actually 620. So I unknowingly got a 20 lbs PR instead! Thanks Rob. He wanted me to feel a little more weight so he called for 645 to a two board. I set up and took the weight and then noticed he was holding the one board... Unfortunately I missed it. I tried it again to a two board and same thing. Just not there yet. That was the most weight I've ever held and honestly it didn't feel crushing like new weight sometimes does.
Rob hadn't been in a shirt in a couple months but you could hardly tell. He worked up to a nice 950 to a two board. After presses we talked and he showed me some cool band rehab/prehab exercises. He also set up a MHP demo. Gotta say I love the fudge brownie Up Your Mass, ordered some already.
