On Tuesday night I bought a 2-liter of soda to try and stretch out my shirt sleeves. It was able to stretch them out a bit. But when I got into the shirt they sleeves were still a bit low on my arm. When trying to seat the shirt better with 315 and 345 it caused more pain in my right biceps brachii tendon. So I just tried to push the bottom edge of both sleeves up farther on my arm to alleviate the tendon pain. This didn’t move the entire sleeve at all but prevented the lower portion from engaging my tendon and torquing it. So the rest of the workout went much better and with far less pain. Also big gains in incline. I think my previous troubles were because of the fact I hadn’t done it much before and my body needed to get readjusted to it again.
Shirted Bench off Foam Roller:
315 x 2 (no foam roller, far from chest, good amount of tendon pain)
345 x 2 (same deal as 315)
365 x 2 @8 (with foam roller and sleeve adjusted…much better)
385 x 2 @9
405 x 2 x 2 @10 (both 2nd reps were never really in doubt but if I went for a 3rd rep I am not sure I would have gotten it)
Incline:
175 x 5 @8
175 x 5 @8
185 x 3 @8
195 x 3 @8.5
205 x 3 @9
Floor Press:
225 x 5 x 2 @8
235 x 3 @8.5
245 x 3 @9.5
255 x 2 @10
Finished with some somewhat light cable tricep extensions super-setted with cable curls.
