Dam That Hurt
Wow that hurt. Always remember to check your weight before you bench to make sure both sides are loaded the same. After the New Year, the gym has become way to busy for Monday night benching so we moved it to Sunday nights. This Sunday was no different after a big dish of pasta off to the gym for some heavy benching. I worked my way up from 135 to 385 lbs. When I get over the 315 mark I really like to get focused and get into a zone. IPOD jacked up to the max I asked my partners to load up 385 lbs. One heard me, the other did not. The left side was a 35 lbs plate short. I never take a lift off at this weight so when I went for this lift I can’t even explain the shock and pain I felt. Rotator and shoulder are already in pretty bad shape but I somehow twisted my whole core. The pain went from my abs straight to my back making it hard to even breathe. Guess I will write the down as a lesson learned.

Ouch! Hope you didn’t do any serious damage and a little rest will get you back to 100% again!

Wow, that’s too bad. Why didn’t the other training partner hear you? He should be paying more attention since he is working out with you. Hope you get better.
