295 x 3 Something feels really weird when I lockout
315 x 3 Like something is pulling my triceps, I feel it runing down my whole arm.?? Getting painfull
335x 0 In both arms now could not lock it out. Was easy last week. I remeber this starting last week on my last set.
Any ideas as to what's going on here.
This feels like when your doing curls and let hte bar go after your set and pain shoots throughout your forearm, like shin slints.
Finished day with some rows, curls and light side raises to fix shoulder from last weeks inclines.

I'll train through it the best I can.
Does this lower the amount of weight you can handle?
I was fired up and ready to go and didn't do as well as I had planned.

Next week I'm going to load up on motrin and rub some JointFlex cream on the affected areas.
Two uses of the cream and my tenis elbow vanished to oblivian. It has Glucosamine & chondroitin sulfate in it.

The motrin helped out a lot this workout.
Still confused about why my board numbers are so low compared to my raw bench.

are you staying tight and keeping your lats squeezed at the bottom of your boards. this will kill them if you are not. other then seeing you do these, i have no idea

I think I'm doing everything the same way I do raw bench.
I have to see if I can set up a camera at the gym somehow, I bench in a power rack and need to figure out a good angle and slike that.
Today is raw day so maybe I can tape both lifts.

I taped some of the lifts from today. I'll just have to rip and edit the video and I'll post a link. Looking back at the video I see that I do not bench straight up and down, irt seems like it s at an angle going toward my head but not that bad. A pause really does not exist, especially the heavier the weight gets, it's touch and go. I forgot my motrin and it was a tough workout. I'll post it tomorrow.

Bro that is a crazy amount of bench volume. I would never ever recover from this much. Maybe you should skip the warmups on the board presses, that way reducing the volume even a bit? Or try to reduce the overall volume of workets until you are making progress?
