I've had the trapped nerve for nearly 5 tears now, and an injured shoulder for most of that time. I had had enough. I took 4 months off, played a lot of golf, and decided to give it one more go at the end of September. If that session had gone badly, that would have been it. But it didn't... | ||

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7734 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Today's Training Disappointing and frustrating Normal warm up to 120 for 1 Shirt on (Rage X 48) 140 for 1 - 4 inches 150 for 1 - 2 inches 160 for 1 - locked it but didn't get near a touch Shirt off 80 for 10 x 3 sets Dumbell Curls 17.5s for 10 x 6 sets Face Pulls 30 for 20 x 3 sets Finish. First equipped session in about 9 months. Really disappointed. Lot of thinking to do in the next week. Might have to try a bigger shirt next time. I think 99 kg bodyweight is a little to heavy for the 48 given my current strength levels. Wish I had someone who knew about shirts to train with... | ||

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7734 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Today's Training. Dreadful. The wheels may be coming off. Not a full session because I'd trained yesterday. I just wanted to try on the bigger bench shirt. Cut a long story short, I managed a touch with 60 and couldn't unrack 140 because the trapped nerve has come back with a vengeance. I might have to pull out of the competition, but I still have ten days. Off for a walk and a good think... | ||

 old age traveller Member 332, 7865 posts | Age is not a friend of lifting heavy things often. Take heart from the good sessions......and remember fast recovery is a thing for the youths! | ||

Yeah, if I didn't have any shoulder bicep elbow or forearm pain I'm sure I could be a decent bencher again!! The joys of Masters lifting, that one session when the painkillers are working and you hit a decent (recent) pb make it worthwhile. | ||

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7734 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Post Edited: 15.01.2019 @ 14:31 PM by Martin1956 Today's TrainingNice and pain free, as it always is when it doesn't involve pressing. Seated Row - 75 for 10 x 5 sets Lat Pulldown - 50 for 10 x 5 sets Facepulls - 30 for 20 x 3 sets Side & Front Lateral Raises - 7.5s for 10 x 3 sets Dumbell Curls - 20s for 8 x 5 sets External Rotations - 2.5s for 20 x 3 sets YTWLs - Band work for 10 x 3 sets Finish. Nice wee session. Good to have progressed to 20 kg dumbells for curls, with more in the tank. Off to the dentist, then going to try swimming and see if I can manage a length. | ||
