* First Flat Benching in 2 years or more. The left shoulder wasn't thrilled, but it's better than it used to be.
** For those unfamiliar with my training history, I blew out my left shoulder doing close grip benches in Sept 2013.

Take your time on the bench.

Ouch! How close were you gripping, and where did the bar touch at the bottom? I've recently started doing CGBP, and have one finger on the smooth, and touch at the bottom of my sternum. I'd hate to get a shoulder injury, never had one...

[ShuggyBear]

@mgil: Don't worry, I will. Hopefully I can keep going, my chest is looking like shit.
@AaronM: I was using a 16" spacing, 245 pounds. IMO, Close Grips are actually harder on shoulders because of more rotation.

Yes. My training log there is over 5 1/2 years old and I want to keep it going. I am also interested in competing in their USSF meets.
You always know where to find me. Stay Strong!
