Thanks Dub, I mean without bands or chains.

ME Bench Day

Had a strange sort of day today, I am running on LOW sleep so that aint helping! But I found it tough to get into the groove of things today, I still managed to hit nearly all my reps but it was very tough, forarms were sore (I have been slack with the icing) I am gonna buy the sleeves Kutt has been telling me to get soon! Anyways I hit 4x2 with 115kg, I missed the 2nd rep on set 3 cos I was not set up correctly and my ass came up. I finished with chain bench and a few rows, kids were not wanting to be in the gym any longer so I didn’t do anything else.

ME Bench Day

Great day today, I benched my old 2rm of 116.5kg for 5 sets across! Very happy with that, I then did a single with 120kg. I moved to chain bench after for sets of 4 I just couldn’t get the 5th rep! and finished with some chins and delt work. Real Good day but my freakin forarms are giving me hell, its really affecting my confidence benching cos it hurts most when I lower the bar the most. I cheated and used 2 thin bandages around each elbow on the last 2 sets, that seemed to help a bit.

Is the pain in your forearms from straining your wrists back while benching? I noticed I tend to do this without realizing ... no pain because of it yet but as the weight builds I could see it potentially being a problem down the road.

So I think I left my CNS back at work today cos I just could not get going!! I worked up to 160kg in the squat and it was heavy, I couldn’t get loose or focused so I cut it there, no assistance etc, just a real slow day to forget and move on from.

ME Bench Day

I benched an new 2RM today but did it for 3 sets so I guess it aint my 2RM!!, I missed the last rep on the last 2 sets as my ass came up, I reckon I can still get more leg drive I gotta work it out so that my ass stays down. After I hit chain bench and some rows and light delts/upperback. Pretty good day.
