are you normally a flat bencher or what?

Not completely flat backed no... forcing lumber extension in a hard arch aggravates my lower back sometimes though.

I see...

as long as your numbers are progressing dont bother changing :P

it is an awesome bench position once you get the hang of it... especially if you plan to ever go equipped

Think I messed my eye up again... god dammit

kevpants

Snap. My left eye felt strangely warm squatting this week and for 24 hrs afterwards I could see what looked like a splash of blood in the top left hand corner of my field of vision if I moved my eyes a certain way.

I wonder what I'll achieve first, 300kg squat or a stroke.

Felt good and strong today, diet has been clean for a good month now since I moved in with my very own in house cook bird. Protein intake is very high, carbs are clean. Body weight is down a good bit since the last comp which probably explains the drop off in benching. I've proper bunched my left shoulder though... certain movements are agony. I can still bench etc, but I cant pick a plate up off the table... wtf. Happened last week getting a dumbbell into position and has been getting steadily worse since.

Rough session, not even close to being recovered after monday but nice to hit some PRs all the same. 1st time in months that the 4 of us trained together... good intensity across the board hopefully that'll continue into the GPCs in June. On a side note, left pec is in trouble... couldn't even demonstrate a ring push-up for a client this morning. Shall be making a trip to the physio to see what the story is soon

COH

Haven't been able to do much the past week as a result of a minor pec tear. Deadlift program is out the window as is the majority of upper body training. Over the past couple of months my shoulder has been at me, as has my elbow.. my pec then got injured on the same side so its unlikely that there isn't some relationship between the three. I met a physio and he pointed out that my left arm is now noticeably smaller than my right. Having not really trained for aesthetic purposes in a while I hadn't noticed at all, in testing the strength from left to right my left side was also much much weaker. This never happened back in the good old days of 3 hour dedicated arm training. Anyway.. the swelling has nearly subsided and my ROM is fine so I went in to try out my uber-sexual new lifting shoes...

Spent the preceding three hours out being put through and putting others through many warm ups, max velocity and acceleration sprint dynamic drills, many many many sport specific agility drills that I do not enjoy at all and even more many plyometric drills, in the sun, in a black tracksuit and hoody because I'm an idiot. That's my S&C cert finished... happy days. Delighted I'm able to deadlift pain free. Physio told me that my left side, lat, trap, tricep and everything in between is knotted up to bits. Tried and unweighted chest press yesterday and failed... so ill be doing arms, upper back and side raises x3 per week to get jacked, then squat and deadlift as usual until everything else falls into place.

Pushing the pec rehab a bit harder now, pretty uncomfortable but the increased blood flow and mild stretching should help things along. Deadlifting tomorrow... a good session (250ish for reps) and I'll most likely do the GPC Nationals albeit with a token bench. If not, the IPO single lifts are in september and I'd like to squat 300kg at that :cool: God I'm bored of injuries

Had to cut the session short for PT... Feel like ive been hit by a bus after that anyway so probably a good thing i didnt do the SLDLs. Still undecided about the GPC, have pretty bad tendonitis of my elbow so squatting with a fat bar without wrist support sounds about as appealing as a brick in the teeth right now.
