Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Are you flaring your elbows out? Try tucking them closer to your torso during the press

alright, ill work on that.
I switched to a 5x5 today so I most def feel that extra weight on the bench.

Yea this is big. Also bring the bar lower, like way below your nipples

Yep, focusing on this will naturally bring your elbows in.

It's probably the most common mistake on the bench press. I did it for a long time before I corrected myself. The front of my shoulders used to KILL after chest day.

Doesnt hurt to arch the back a bit... helps with stability and cuts down ROM too. I had some shoulder issues towards the end of last year, thought it was my rotator cuff I took time off, dropped the weight and brought the bar lower. No problems so far. If dude is tall though DBs are prob the best bet

I do DBs and decline...incline and flat BB hurt my front delts and my elbows...shyt just doesn't feel natural.

No homo but you already lost for not wearing something like these:

Breathable, sweat resistant, form fitting, super comfortable. Its 2014 you should be wearing technology on your most important area

Only problem is the short ones look the best for the ladies but are a no-go if you have big thighs cause they will run-up. Medium length solve that. Long length I dont like.

 

[Jesus]

If you got a big ass and thighs, best bet is briefs . n/h The other shyt rides too much.

15 mins of hiit treadmill sprinting before lifting... never again.

 

[unit321]

Did legs yesterday.
Warmed up with deadlifts. 135 x 10, 155 x 10
Squats, 135 x 10 x 1 set, 225 x 6 x 8 sets

Something is wrong. My power levels are low. I can't do 225 x 10 reps like i used to.

15 mins of hiit treadmill sprinting before lifting... never again.

Never before.

Heck I don't know if after makes sense anymore.

 

[GoPro]

Never before.

Heck I don't know if after makes sense anymore.

Yea the lifting is almost a waste. Was outta breath and dizzy the whole time. Doing dedicated sprint days from now on

how important is touching your chest on the bench?
I have long monkey arms and only go parallel...I start feeling my shoulders ache when I go lower.

Thinking of just switching to DB pressing.

fukk that go to db...its not worth the long term damage your doing if you got monkey arms.
Ive been ignoring that pain for yrs and switched to db recently and havent had any issues
