03/04/08, Bench Day
I changed things up a bit today, performing slightly higher reps. And the result? My arms and chest are fried. I haven’t lifted heavier weight for more than 3 reps in quite a while.]
There is an amazing difference between bodybuilding training and powerlifting training. I performed the same amount of reps today as I would during a powerlifting bench day, but with less sets and a greater rep density, DOM is much more prevalent. My triceps never get sore from powerlifting bench days, but they sure are toast right now.
Same reps. Less sets. More DOM.

Good to see you on here again. Did you just take a break from BodyBuilding.com or a break from working out alltogether?

I had a shoulder strain and lost nearly 3 months of training. I took a break from lifting, and the site. Glad to be back.
