Bench press HELP !!!

[MN5]

Woohoo ! back up to 22 reps again ! Pretty damn pleased to put it mildly. Jury is still out whether this is down to good old muscle memory or if the system I am using actually works. Would be awesome if I smashed out 23-24 next time !

I used to love doing this sort of shit - hitting the gym and looking at your training partner and saying, "lets be sily buggers", and then caning the chest, or getting all the dumbells out and curling each weight until you can't anymore and dropping to the next one... Good days!

[MN5]

Yeah basically that is what I'm doing, luckily I am extremely adept at rolling the weight off my chest on my own once I hit failure which in this case was on the 24rd attempted rep, YEEEEEEEEAH !!!!!

I'm almost jealous. maybe at the end of this BB season I'll have a silly bugger month!!

Yeah dunno Bart, my form on the last few reps might be a bit dubious for a highly tuned slab of muscle like yourself <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hi:' />

form, schmorm, when you're doing high number the end is always ugly!

Yep, my right side tends to lag a bit for the last few reps.

[BartMan]

my dodgy left shoulder kicks in when the fatigue starts to bite, sucks! But heaps better (touch wood) than it has been!

[MN5]

Tried again and once more crapped out on the 24th attempt, nearly got the fucker !<br />
<br />
I might have a week off and hopefully come back stronger. 25 reps is in sight !

the BBQ must be getting near now?

[MN5]

Haha was supposed to be today but due to a wedding next week we have canned it for awhile. Possibly in the next few weekends, time to try and get the reps higher....
