Interesting, so basically the opposite way to how the bench is taught by most people. Pinning the shoulder blades back.
Chineses massage rub without the tug, some accupuncture. Semi reguarly twice a month for the last two months. Relieves the pain but doesn't really fix anything. The therapist worked it so hard last ime I had doms in my tricep for a 3 days. It is great but I don't think it fixes anything.
If lost completely, you may come to the clinic of Bella, located in Brisbane just outside of the CBD and I will work on it a couple of times a month for you, for free -just to see if we can get any improvement for you? No happy endingslol
Totally up to you, but the offer is there if you get stuck.
Thanks for the offer, but lets be honest this will only end with me trussed up in a ball gag and you calling some friends to come over cause the spider has couple flies in the web.
Yes!
It's all about feeling the muscles.
For the shoulder to move its needs all of the connecting muscles to move to stabilize the shoulder.
This is why I suggest that if one wants to compete they need to perform "exercise" as well.
Polke is right.
But for shoulder health you need to consider what I'm saying to you.
Yeah this sounds like insane advice. Everyone's different though I guess. Movement of scapula on the bench = shoulder death for me.Interesting, so basically the opposite way to how the bench is taught by most people. Pinning the shoulder blades back.
Fluffy have you tried limited range benching or floor presses. Also, wide grip bench with the bar hitting the chest 1 inch lower than usual helped me a lot more than close grip (close tears my shoulders to pieces) despite the usual dogma to the contrary. Guessing you tried flyes as well (not that these are usually easy at all on the shoulders...)
Your workout looks ok, I'd do something similar. Chins should hit the chest a little. I might skip on the close grip as it sounds like you have a ROM issue and closer = more ROM (elbows dipping really low)
And see a physio if you haven't already. I stopped sports for 4 months due to an injury I thought needed time alone. Physio fixed me up in a day. Fuck I felt like an idiot after that.
Monohar Aich won the 1952 Mr. Olympia
If I was in your position I would just do a shitload of arm work and rear delt work
You'll also be a close grip bencher from now on
But if you do loads of tricep and rear delt hypertrophy work and gain a tonne of weight - your bench will improve even if you're not training it. Decline reverse grip bench is a good way to train the triceps heavy as fuck without straining the shoulder. You can also look into a slingshot or reverse band bench press (close grip obviously) as this will take the pressure off where you need it. Benching against bands is a bad idea probably so bench with them
I also agree with the shoulder blades being pinned against the bench. This is done to make the exercise safer. It makes it safer than just lying on the bench but it is not safer than the scapulae being able to freely retract and depress which is impossible if you're lying on a bench. This is possible with push-ups. Monohar Aich got jacked as fuck doing (as far as I can tell) doing 100 rep sets of one-legged squats, pushups, crunches, pullups, and leg raises all day long [lewis]. He won the 1952 Mr. Olympia and here he is age 75.
Gymnasts are also jacked as fuck and almost never weight train. They also never complain of shoulder injuries. Can't do sets of 100 push-ups and dips? You got work to do son.
inb4 someone states that working up to 100 reps on an exercise while gaining weight can't possibly work as you're not using 6-12 reps or some other bullshit
whilst there are a number of members in here, whose posts I class as pearls of wisdom, yes you are one of those 0ni, surely you jest that Monohar Aich won the 1952 Mr Olympia. Larry Scott won the first Mr Olympia in 1965 did he not.
Always glad to hear from Jamie Lewis's microphone. Did you actually read the article before you cut and pasted it here? The reference to bodyweight training is out of context.
Oni 64.4kg bench 75kg 1.16 x bodyweight
Fluffy 82kg bench 117.5kg 1.43 x bodyweight, I consider my bench to be shit and I am old retarded and crippled.
Please return and give bench advice once you have benched 2 plates aside and/or have actually managed to gain some weight.
Why are you so mad? It's not out of context at all. Body weight training can get you jacked and it's very easy on the joints. If you can't recognise that you're either blind or your dodgy shoulder has started to infect your brain
