If I had hit a PR, you would agree?

Bench really needs some more attention in your training, I am disappointed in your approach.

Even though the other lifts contribute more to the total, your bench is actually going down. time to do something different. It really doesn't matter what you do, if its halfway logical, and you dont hurt yourself, you should rebound.

Stop with the high rep cardiovascular accessories, and throw in some heavy assistance.

Maybe I need to add RPE's or something because the 315 2x3 was not difficult at all

I am trying to take this really slow because I have a bad history with reinjuring my pec. I started the first 4 weeks of this benching once a week 2x press. I am now moving into 1.5x bench 1.5x press. I will probably do this until after my meet. My strength on the bench feels fine but I don't want to start ramping and injure my pec.

I want to go heavier on the assistance but my wrist injury won't let me

I dont understand how you cant still have that injury, its been like 6 months.

you need to just suck it up and accept the pain.

I am pretty sure I either fractured it or chipped the bone. My wrist is useless without 24in wrist wraps

Notes: felt super energized from not drinking and actually getting some sleep this weekend. Unfortunately I woke up some soreness while warming up and it made the lifting brutal. Noticed that I lost my arch after the first rep of every squat work set. Realized I really need baby powder for deadlifts

imagine if you trained properly?

Why did you add vaginitis to your deadlifts?

And why did you pussy out on the bench? I keep telling you, natural lifters cant tear their pecs.

I went to the urologist today for my testicle, he told me I had a torsion of the testicular appendix. Basically means, I am gonna be in a ton of pain for a while, but I am not risking damage to the testicle. Hopefully it gets better fastlike.

Might not be able to tear it, but I can definitely strain it. I have been straining it consistently since september and I am not gonna an idiot about it anymore

That's kind of strange. You injured it lifting but it can't get worse from continued lifting?

How long does it last

I guess your thumb is a bitch.

In all honesty, you really need to just say "phuck it" and train your chest hard. The way I see it is that the worse case scenario is that you injure yourself and bench continues to suck.






I can make the testicle worse and more painful from lifting.... but the thing about the testicular appendix, is that it doesn't serve any function in your testicle. It is a worthless tissue that doesn't do anything for the testicle, but it can become twisted and cause pain. So while I can continue being in a TON of pain from lifting with the torsion of the appendix, I am not risking any damage to any part of my testicle that actually matters. The appendix of your testicle is tissue that would have become part of your uterus if you were a female.

That's what i've been doing and it has failed me. Didn't you just make fun of me the other day for no bench prs???

My problem isn't gaining pressing power, it's not straining my vagina

I wonder if I get something similar. Sometimes when I grind a deadlift my gooch feels like it's being pulled but nothing ever comes from it

I think you need to just ignore all kinds of pain from on and just do what you think will make you stronger. keep training until you need to be hospitalized, and then consider continuing to train anyway.

I doubt you have the same thing, mine is actually somewhat retracted during the set because of the torsion. When I flex my core, it moves inside me.

It felt like it got pulled up there but came back down after a few minutes
