My chest is my weak spot. My chest is my weak spot. My chest is my weak spot.

On the other hand, the guy who spotted me, a young guy who normally gets mentored with "the big Taiwanese guys," commended my efforts, so I'm at least somewhere near what he recognizes is respectable benching.

Or maybe he was just being Asian about it.

My chest will not always be my weak spot. My chest will not always be my weak spot. My chest will not always be my weak spot.
