Bones in forearm fel like they are breaking.

it has nothing to do with the wrist wraps my man, trust me I delt with it for over a year and if I FUCK UP MY FORM i STILL FEEL IT. Trust me if you keep your wrist behind your elbows it wont hurt

I'll have to work on that.

I'm going to create a litlte MP3 of all the things I'm supposed to do and listen to it before and while benching, just untll I unscrew myself.

Your not pulling the weight straight down to your stomach....you are pushing throught the support and doing a front raise. when you hit the support and your about 2 " off your chest you lead with your elbows and pull straight down..

i may have to try that mule!! makes sense. tb

Forearms feel a lot better now.

I am thinking about taking a break from lifting this week.
I want to let my elbws and wrist heal a bit. It's starting to affect the quality of my workouts. I was thinking I'm doing more harm than good working through it.

My dilema is that I'm training for the Nov 22 bench contest. I'm not sure if taking a whole week off is the answer. This only leaves me with two training weeks before the competition.

The pain killers are not working anymore and I don't want to casue any problems with strength building taking all those pain killers. I read somewhere that they interfere with the body's healing and building process.

I have a high pain threshold, I don't start bithching until it's really bad.

But then again;
Pain is only weakness leaving the body.

I hear you.

I was taking motrin and/or naproxin. I stopped taking them anyway.

I took a week off of lifting.
