Hell yeah you'll have to have a video, and it better be calling me weak and small

In other news I need to take a breather from bench, as this:

185x10 and 195x10 tonight! Last 195 had a pause but first 8 or so were solid.

e: 205x9


caused some pretty significant bruising between my biceps and shoulders.

Tear or bruise? :ohdear:

Deffo just a bruise. I have the same thing on the other side and every attachment point is screaming just as much as that area. I'll be fine! You better believe I'm using this time to do some low weight high rep bench :D

e: 135x15 just to test the waters... no hurty hurty.

You dropped a barbell on yourself, didn't you?

Man I wish it were that simple and stupid.

So after that 205x9 I was feeling a burning line on my left side from the center of my bicep through that bruise and ending front of my shoulder. This morning after that 135x15 same line is hot. I must've pulled something. Gonna skip chest day for a week or so and let it heal, I guess.

No use tearing up your shoulders for an internet challenge.

look here you little punk you tear that poo poo up then i beat you to 10x225 AND i'll keep going and beat you to 10x315 while your weak little gurly arms have to heal up and try to get strong again


Does that sound tough enough? 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 :v:

So what I'm getting from this is we're racing to 10x315 next?

poo poo, it's going to be really awkward when I try to recreate the same video at the YMCA. Can I just bring a hard hat in and give it to a rando to wear?

PLEASE

:lol: Amazing.

keep that rear end on the bench :colbert:

Yeah my form is poo poo. I should work on my form. When I beat y'all to 225x10 expect a lot better form in the video.

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.

Rest assured I would help you when you tried to decapitate yourself. I would also shout at you for being weak constantly. You loving weakling. Why haven't you beaten me to 10x225 yet? Weak. WEAK.

Been "deloading" on bench since my left arm was feeling weird in three different places.

However did back and biceps on Saturday... hitting shoulders today!

Getting close!

I keep getting concentrated pains in that left arm/armpit so Ive been resting it for a week and will probably only do legs for a couple weeks here. I really don't want to gently caress anything up and I'm 31 so I ain't exactly healing quickly.

Finally went back to the gym yesterday and did some leg day. End of semester poo poo is getting in the way! I promise I'll be better.

In other news my arm doesn't hurt anymore unless I specifically work it out so that's probably a good sign?

Hol' up. Why is this thread on the third page? Why is the last post a month ago? Why is the gym crowded as gently caress right now?

Forgot about the thread but I've been goin hard still amigo!

Next bench is tomorrow. Last bench was a week ago and I was nowhere near 225x10 unfortunately. 135x9, 185x9, 165x8, 155x4. I really dont wanna gently caress myself up again. However I'm now completely healed!

Man I can just not get into squatting to save my life. I'd like to do it a lot more so my Utah hiking trip in August goes well, but every time I get 185 lbs on the bar I feel maxed out. I know it's a mental thing. I can do 10 reps of 185. I'm just scared of the bar weight on my shoulders I think.

Seriously. What's up with that poo poo.

Also, why is the gym still crowded as gently caress?

Oh, also. Are you healed up yet? I want to go for 10x225 (well, more than I have been) but I want to give you a fair shot at it.

Haha thanks boo. Yes I'm totally healed up, though I'm probably a little farther away than I was when I did a sloppy 2x6. I'd like to get a 2-3-4 in and I think I'm about as close to a 3x5 squat and a 4x5 dl as I am the 2x10 bench. It'll be a fun exercise!

*edit* I tweaked my IT band hiking so I guess leg day is out of the question for a while. Did one session after I tweaked it and it definitely made it worse.

Whenever I hurt myself hiking it's always my IT band and it's always from walking funny downhill for prolonged periods.

Busy work and busy school have led to me not working out in what feels like forever. I hopefully graduate May 10, and we get out of outage May 17. I have a feeling I'll finally be back at it around then.
