ME Bench:
Well, not much to tell, other than I have totally f'd up my entire upper body. My tendonitis is horrible, (I have it in my bicep tendon, tricep tendon, and all down my forearm to my wrist), my rotators are torn up for the first time ever, my upper back is shit - basically I'm a mess.
My strength is down as far as lockout strength is concerned because I have had two bench workouts in a month. And all I've done at those workouts is work in my shirt - I was so destroyed afterwards that I had to stop.
After talking to Tommy Fannon (and will be giving Dave Tate a call in the morning) I believe I will be taking several weeks off the benching. I will do AR only for two weeks at least, and then begin back slowly with the benching. I'll start with 3 rep maxes and if all is well after a few weeks, I'll move into the singles.
I also need a new bench shirt. I have a bunch of money right now, but I'm spending it too fast and was hoping to save a fair amount of it, but I think its about time to get a Karen's Double.
Anyway, that's about it.
