in 12-04 i was benching 535 for raw competition singles and during training i ruptured my left triceps from chronic tenonitus
in 10-06 i was benching 405 for sets of 6-10 then i ruptured my right tricept from the damage i had previously incurred from the chronic tendonitus.
Both had to be surgically repaired |
Wow those are some hefty weights.
Yeah but ths is the mistake that we make
Trying to get up too fast to our previous maximums
The stress comes at the bottom of the movement with the explosion up.{if there's a slight bounce in there it can be detrimental}
I pulled my pec last year.
Now days I dare'nt go over 242lbs,thats when I need the explosive power.
So I just do sets of 8-10 of 242 on flat bench then go to decline dumb bells,and other shaping exercises
Its still improving my physque though,so I'm happy.
I hold more muscle now than I used to as well, so I now what you are saying
