Decided to move the shirt work to today instead of Wednesday as I’ll have more time on Sundays. I warmed up pretty quick and did a really easy single to 3 board with 385/175 before tossing the shirt on. I was trying a new way of setting up which should help get my shoulders pinned better however without my belt the shirt just rode up onto my throat too much and moved the path too high. 405 was easy even with the bar pretty much on my belly, 425 went even lower and I just couldn’t power it up. The second attempt at 425 I setup the old way and it went up easy.
For BNP I paused my last two reps on my traps which made them much harder but they still weren’t too bad. After doing these my shoulders feel pretty good, most of the pain I get from benching goes away so I really hope these are one of the keys to fixing my left shoulder.
Taking a page from Michael I upped the volume on the tate presses which have left my triceps twitchy and I’m sure they will be sore tomorrow. I also did the same thing with pull aparts upping the usual sets of 15 to 25s which has my left rear delt twitching away as well. By the time I finished all six sets of rotator cuff work I could barely lift my left arm above my head.
Nice job on the BNPs, Stinn. Looks like your shirted benching is coming along well, too. Glad to see that your shoulder is feeling better.
When you say on your belly, does that mean you got out of the higher bar path from the shirt riding up and lost the bar downward? Pretty good if you still pressed up 425. Keep working those shoulders.
