Week 4 Day 1

Glad to be at week 4 i can finally start gettin some PR`s this week (Bad ones at that) but im looking forward to it. Todays Workout went really well the bench was easy enough to some guy came over and told me my arms were on a angle (forward slightly which i was not aware of) he shifted my arms so they were strait above me and the lifts seemed easier (although i still felt shoulder) i think i may have been doing this from day 1 maybe that why i screwed my shoulder and struggled with the lifts, saying that i know im better at pulling rather pushing so the weight is still going to be low. I changed my squat stance a little today aswell tried to keep my feet straiter rather than pointed out slightly this also felt better for me. Still not weighed myself im sure im putting it on i defo look heavier whether it be fat or muscle i dunno. Im eating alot more carbs now white rice/pasta potaoes etc. Anyways on to workout:

Don;t dog your own PR's bro - your bench max is just as heavy as anyone elses - it;s all relative as you know. Just be proud and have your goals. We all want to push/pull more weight. I don;t think that ever changes.

Good job - start killing those PR's bro

Thanks bro. I just read other logs and there bench in to relation to there other lifts is much heavier than mine. My deads may be near there 5rm but there bench is much higher than mine i just can push lol. It will come in time no doubt k to you bro

The thing that helped me the very most in benching, or any pressing for that matter, was to see it done by a strong guy. Just watch how a big guy takes the weight - how straight and stong their arms stay throughout the lift - not like it is the one place they feel like they may drop the weight. Get mentally strong - kill that shit.
