 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Adam mentioned on Monday that he doesn't like to bench the day after squatting, because he finds he gets pain and injury in the either shoulder or elbow, I forget. Do others find this? Does overhead work do it too? | ||

 Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | joe mentioned this at adlington and for me sometimes after heavy squats the 'holding the bar in position' agrivates my dicky elbows. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Even 2 days after is a no-no for me. Bench earlier in the week and you will be fine (at least my f**ked elbow was when I did this anyway). | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | I agree, I prefer not to do so if possible. I have no problem benching the day beforehand. A lot of it comes down to shoulder flexibility, bar height and hand spacing. Also, it's important you remember to push your elbows forwards before you walk the bar out - if your arms are further underneath the bar then its far easier on the joints. | ||

 Picca Boo Member 16, 1204 posts SQ 140, BP 130, DL 200470.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Never had this problem, but I am fairly flexible and don't find the squat positioning hard at all. | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | You squat fairly high bar though Alex right? Its much more of a problem for guys who have the bar lower on their backs. For the same reason Rick, I dont think you'd find it much of a problem. It has only ever bothered me when getting the bar really low. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Ah, ok. Since I can't get a low bar without pain anyway, it's probably not so much a factor for me  . | ||
