I'll chime in as well. I'm a Boston native, I suppose, though my loyalty is to Seattle. I grew up in Walpole, moved to Seattle when I was 8, and then returned for my undergrad at BC.
Looking forward to your bench press progress. I'm a rower, so I don't train for max effort lifting and, pushing is not as easy for me as pulling, per se. But, I worked in the off season to improve my bench to a one-rep max of 155 (should mention, I suppose, that I am female).
I'll ditto the pp's question-- is your trainer determining all of your workouts?
