chest day update

[Metal85]

On the Hammerstength sitdown bench I got 4 45's and a 25 on each side for 10 on my 4th set

Incline db I got 100's for 10 on forth set

Flat DB went up to 95's

and everything else was about the same

 

[Metal85]

after 4th set of incling my tricep tendon started flaring up a bit where it was reattatched

I'm having problems with incline DBs lately. My bad shoulder is doing okay, but when I pick up 70's or 75's my "good" shoulder gets a sharp pain when I lower the weights to my chest. I had a torn labrum in my left shoulder and I'm afraid of doing the same to my right.

Not bad man, be careful with your tendon though

 

[Metal85]

yeah Im trying to go heavy one week than next week a little lighter than heavy again and so on, instead of just heavy as possible for 10 reps each week

You'll be better off that way

How long does that normally take to fully heal?

Tendons? almost a complete tear, and not resting it, but lifting heavy with it? who knows. I do know that any type of injury to a tendon takes months and months and months, bc the lack of blood supply they recieve. If I had babied it this whole time Im sure I would be closer to 100% healed soon but I dont want to wat 180 pounds and be fat at the same time so I have pushed myself. I wish I could get a follow up MRI just to see exactly how its doing

You can always get a followup MRI. just say you "heard a pop and now have sharp pain". MRI ordered without question.

That is crazy heavy weight. I do my seated upright Hammer one arm at a time, but only go up to 2 45's and a 25 per side for 20. I don't train chest too heavy these days. I pre exhaust on the cables and pec fly before I do any pressing.

lol and yet my chest doesnt grow bc of genes.......... I always do the cables towards the end of chest days like crossovers and the one that you make the shape of an upside down 'V' starting at hips and going up to infront of face w hands supinated
