Suburban Dad posted:Doc tet, is he going to live? I've seen people bruise like that in a few circumstances. Small deltoid or biceps tears. Hypothetically direct trauma, but that would be a tough place to bounce a bar. I involuntarily took a few weeks off. Went in with trepidation for a chest day but did 225 x 8/8/4 (ugh). Subsequently felt a twinge in the right shoulder, though. Womp womp.

I'm not very good at mean tough guy talk. What I'm seeing in this thread is basically shoulder joints are poorly designed for lifting

Shoulder joints are just plain poorly designed period. It's like the prime subcontracted them out to Chrysler or something.

Having torn my rotator cuff being stupid*, I can confirm that human shoulders suck. Got a DXA scan last week and while I was only ~4lbs down in weight, I had lost 7 lbs of fat and gained 3lbs of muscle since July. Not amazing, but at least it's progress. I'm just going on the world's slowest body recomposition and I'll end up an extremely jacked 225lbs. I ate poo poo walking on vacation while turning back to talk to a friend, but I think my hand is healed enough to bench heavy tomorrow. I'm going to see how many reps I can get at 205, but next week is a recovery week so I won't be benching heavy again until the week after thanksgiving. *Realized I was going to have trouble with my last rep on the bench press, looked around really quick to yell for help but saw only two attractive college aged girls nearby, so I decided to just give it all I had to finish without help. Once my cuff tore, I managed to bounce the bar off my chin, then have all the plates slide off the bar and make a huge sound (I never use collars). It was a good time. This was 7 years ago and to this day my right arm gives out first while benching, despite being my dominant hand.

QuarkMartial posted:MORE BENCH FOR BENCH GOD I'm curious if it'll be faster for you to add 7 reps and no weight than it will be for me to get an extra rep but have to add 20 lbs. I feel like trying to add ~10% to my bench is going to take longer than I think, seeing as how I'm long past those easy new lifter gains. The one thing I have going for me is I usually do flat bench as my third exercise, so I feel like there are some easy gains to be had from doing it first now. There should be some sort of height / length of arms adjustment for benching, I end up doing way more actual work to bench a given weight than a short guy with shorter arms.

drat right. That looks to be about 1.7lb per week, which is right in the range of 1-2lb per week for healthy weight loss rate. Keep it up!

What you lack in form you make up for in hype.  I've always been poo poo at bench. I think at my best I could do maybe 200 lbs once. I will continue to throw stones from my glass house over here.

This will have to wait until next week...ish. Broke traction on the bench and just about dropped 225 on my neck. It was already slick, I scrubbed it and thought I had whatever made it slick off of there, but I didn't. I was doing the third rep of my first set of 225, slipped back on the bench, and couldn't get the bar up; it was caught on the hooks somehow. Yeah, not fun, and not a single rear end in a top hat at this Y bothered to help or even ask if I was fine.

I'm good, was just shook up and mad. Next time I'll just go to the Y by my house (this one is on my way from work) where the benches are better. E: I was, and still am, more mad that no one bothered to help. Like, I get stared at when I come in the gym, but no one bothers to help someone in trouble. Fuckin people. Anyway, I'm fine. I'll get 10x225 soon. I'm not injured and won't worry about it further. briefcasefullof fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Nov 19, 2018 |

Trip report: this is my deload (recovery) week of my first cycle on the new RP templates, the main difference being I had 6 weeks of actual lifting versus 4, and you start off with a lower number of sets per exercise in the beginning weeks. I tried to avoid my usual method of rushing to add volume, and felt pretty good until the end of the 6th week. Maybe it was the cold going around the office, but I was definitely ready for a break by the end of the 6th week. I figure between this week being very light and all the Thanksgiving food and events, I should be ready to go hard again next week. I will ignore the programming on the templates for my bench and go ahead and start at 215 next week to see what I can get. I did 38 strict form pullups on Saturday (across 5 sets), and I still have lat DOMS. Also, I fit in my bike leather pants again, so I've lost the fat I gained in 2017 when I went from working from home at a job that required almost no time to an office job where I'm here a minimum of 10hrs/day.
