I was doing some sets of floor presses paused so like Mike said, your triceps are resting on the floor. Works good I principal it should be similar; I’ll be resting the bar momentarily on the pins. I mainly just like the idea of laying on my bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rinderle Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Got slightly out of the groove on 14 and just couldn't finish. 13 is two from my all-time max. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my arms stopped working correctly right there. I was slightly out of the groove, so hopefully I can get it next time I try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used body English to get it that last inch and sometimes it works and sometimes you tweak a muscle. As we age its usually the latter so it's best to drop it to the pins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single time I attempt crazy hight reps and I fail it's the last 1/16". Lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff Mike. Ya, I love that last rep of my AMRAP set where my arms are just done and no matter what they just aren't locking out. Of course my buddy is yelling at me and calling me a wuss cause it won't lock out haha. Edited April 26, 2020 by Chez 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liftyzig Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Cool that you got the little one to join in, mine always grab the 5lb dumbbells and put them over their heads "I'm strong too daddy!"

liftyzig Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'd love to join in, 'cept I don't have a bench, and I've been nursing tendonitis in my elbows and shoulder injury for quite a few months. I ended up getting a cortisone shot in my shoulder and that allowed me to bench over 135 without pain again so that was nice. Max was 330 back last JULY holy (bad word filter) it's been a long time since I benched heavy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Argh. Had to stop benching tonight guys. I felt a pull near my armpit again. The same as last time so I decided to be smart and call the session and ice and see how it feels next week. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there was basically no warming up and no problem in my teens and 20's and even early 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
