SUPER AWESOME!! You did great on the squats. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was yelling for you to get that 245 bench..WOW..that was a struggle but you GOT IT!! lol..I can breathe now haha...
Squats felt really good. 5 more pounds next Friday! After that 4th rep on bench I thought that there was just enough left in the tank for 1 more rep. Cut that one close! I was glad I went for it instead of calling it quits after 4!
Nice work again. Just an idea, I've started throwing in some lighter bench press variations on my down sets (1, 2 or 3 second pauses, pin press, t-shirt and Spoto presses. I usually pick one set and roll with it. I also include light bench presses with a close grip to get more triceps and clavicular pectoral stimulation. Great work on the squats as well.
I have to watch how much volume I do or my shoulders will act up. Low volume with high intensity is what I have to do. For triceps I'll do extensions with the cable machine so that they can be hit without putting more stress on the shoulders. Right now I am not having any shoulder pain at all while lifting or in day to day activities. The goal is to keep it that way. Close grip bench causes issues. I have to be a little creative and work within certain parameters. It's getting there slow and steady. I will give paused bench a try, that should not cause any issues.
@@LCKStrengthTraining You are moving forward and making progress. I have a hard time with incline barbell, but I also learned that benching with a grip inside the barbell's power lines hits the upper clavicular head of the chest. I switch back and forth thru different squat and deadlift variations. It's funny how challenging a new variation of a movement can be! It also gives my lower back a chance to recover and avoids me getting stale.
