Help needed on workout.

Okay as you all know in a previous thread I'm making strength gains like a mofo...to the point that today for the first time I feel soreness in my shoulders. I know I need to lay off the bench and that putting almost 75lbs on your bench is pretty bad for your tendons legiments ect.

I want to hit the gym still the only excersices that hurt are incline press, bench, overhead presses, and front shoulder presses.

What can I do in place of these or is a two week recoup time on the shoulders the smartest thing to do?

the same thing happened to me today mythical. i was benchin like 40lbs more than what i usually do. i woke up in the mornin and my Ac joint is all fucked up. i have a knot on my left shoulder. it sucks. when i push down on it its painful. i hate takin rest so im only going to workout with low weight more reps.

so im only going to workout with low weight more reps.

ditto.

And, slow your tempo. Use 3-1-5 tempo instead of the normal 1-0-2. Don't worry about the lighter weight.

Using dumbells instead of the bar really helped my shoulder.

I would keep the weight the same and just go for more reps. Can never be too safe.

 

[wootoom]

dumbells totally help. you migh have to sacrifice the bar for a bit.

 

[psychedout]

Yeah db's are a good idea too.

Sucks I only have 90's to workout with....I was thinking of sticking to 250x10 reps maybe 3 sets? I was using a pyramid workout and was hitting the top after reps.

Example 315x6, 350x4, 400x2, 425x1, 445x1, 340x4, 325x6,315x8

What do you think? Light? 250x10x3?
