Bench is starting to feel better? I missed something somewhere. Is this related to the same shoulder issue that is impacting squats?
I need to read up on this deep tissue" stuff that you talk about. I have seen it in other logs. It sounds like an addictive means to sate masochistic urges.

No Skip, my shoulder doesn’t bug me on bench ( different angle of rotation). My numbers on bench have sagged over the past 3-4 months. At 225 I was hitting 6 or 7 consistently. Now its 4 or 5. Triples at 245 were solid now they can be an adventure. everything has just felt heavy or heavier than it should…But I think I’m starting back in the right direction.
The deep tissue massage is the dark side of massage! Nothing relaxing , enjoyable or refreshing during the hour…but it helps a day or two later, I feel so much better and going consistently has started to improve shoulder mobility and reduce the inflammation.

I just read up on it. It says not to do anything strenuous afterwards. That sounds concerning…lol. And that the pain and soreness will go away in a day or two. Is that just from the healing of the injuries they cause while “treating” you?
I had a similar think happen to my bench when I was 18. I left high school benching nearly 300# and started college, a few months later, and could do just over 250#. And I had been working out.
I fixed it by not lifting again for 2 years…
Skip- pretty much, you get knots in your muscles and they grind them, press on them, pull on them, massage them… elbows, thumbs (hard) and knuckles are used against the victim…ahhh…client. Its a heavy weight fight and you never get to throw a punch!

Moved my son into a house off campus yesterday…7.5 hours in a damn U haul truck…On the way back listened to 4 hours on Tesla, not the car, the inventors biography…yeah so what, I am closet nerd!!
Have a great weekend,

Nice work, Paul. I agree. Anything over 3 reps sucks. Sometimes that sucks too.
When you said “Tesla”, I figured you meant the band. But a biography works.
Off campus house? Uh-oh…now the party starts!
Skip- no worries the partying started awhile ago!

Looking good, Paul. Squats are definitely taking shake.
I always liked walkouts as well. Nothing like convincing your brain to shut up or you’ll make it really heavy.

Solid work!
I was up about that time too. I hit the head and went back to bed.
My kids head back to school this morning as well. Of course, they will be back this afternoon…lol.
Good to see your bench is moving in the right direction. And at 352 I still have 2 hours left to sleep before I get up for work.
Like your son my boys can be lacking when it comes to conversation. They give a lot of short answers. Yep, nope, I don’t know.

good DL session, following the plan…well I did add the singles but they had purpose. I wanted to see how much slower they would be after the 5 work sets.just trying to develop data points…
Than I watched a guy squatting, who must be GV’s long lost brother, …his 10 at 405 looked exactly like his 10 at 135, same speed, same posture, same same and all no belt…I don’t think his breathing even got elevated…it was pretty impressive…
Enjoy the long weekend. Peace
Paul

Oh I hate that! Lexie and Joshua do that as well. Drives me nuts! Especially when it is obvious that they aren’t.
Of course, I can’t get on them too bad. They got it from me!
I’m fine = I am busy processing and getting rid of what is agitating me. The more you ask, the more agitated I get and the longer this will take. Let it go…that’s what I am doing.
BTW - Nice deads. So, how did the speed and strength feel after the working sets?

That’s an awesome interpretation of I’m fine…on the deads the 355 was decent , the 375 was heavy at mid shin and a little slow which is what I wanted…I figure it shows that the work sets were heavy enough to do good.
