Hello to all! I am Billy Harris. I am 51 years old, but desire to win NAS Master Nationals! I took 2nd last year. I am broken, but still feel that I can do this!!! By reading all of your post, I found out that you guys are the real deal! I seek wisdom. My bench is shot due to the fact that I have 2 cracked bones in my neck when I fell running with kegs at a show in Ohio 4 years ago! I never got operated on, and most of my strength has returned, but my bench sucks. I used to bench 420 pounds.
I train with young dudes and hate the fact that I am weak at benching. My log strength has mostly returned, and my form has compensated for the weakness. Any suggestions??

Dont bench- I dont.

Close grip and incling med grip avoids the pain (for me that is)Unfortunatly, you will need to find your own doesnt hurt method. May pain be absent in your quest.

Good luck strong fella. Nice other lifts by the way.

That's odd. It looks more like you took 14th, out of 14, last year?

To be fair he got a 210lb log on his first attempt and picked up 4 points.

Get an Inzer double ply denim bench shirt and train loads of banded board presses. Should help your injury and you'll be out-benching the young dudes in no time.

Was it 210lb or 210lb divided by 2.2?

I do like Billy. I just wish I was better at deciphering his posts Happy
