Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of dropping them too because I know at the bench competition I did last year, I got stuck doing 195, 200, and 205 in about a 5 min period. Since nobody else was really lifting at that weight it messed me up going so fast and I think I could have hit 205 if I had gone lighter for my 1st attempt. So I will probably listen to you since you are more experienced than me and drop my openers.
