put up or shut up

I had a bet going with jb that I could bench 200lbs. He really didn't  think I could do it. I went to the Y with him and dm to try it out and, well guess what, I put up 225. Now to be completely honest I got a tiny little nudge from dm, but I'm pretty sure I would have put it up, it really wasn't that hard. Sweet victory! JB broke his old record and benched 135-yeah we gotta get him up to at least 160, his body weight. DM lifted about 300 lbs.
