Quiet Storm; The Rebirth of KB - My recovery journal

Close-grip bench, perhaps. The narrow grip will force you to keep your back tight and elbows in, which should take pressure off your shoulders.

Glad to see you're feeling good and getting stronger. I've been following along and haven't missed an update yet, but I just haven't had much to say.

Somewhat random question: what bodyweight are you aiming for in the long run?

yes, that's a good one. forgot about close-grip. good call.

Ideal BW in the long run? Not sure, to be honest. BW doesn't really mean much to me. I've been stronger at 170 than 185 before. I think right now I'd like to get down a bit (lose some BF), maybe 170 or so. Very happy that I have been losing some fat but not much BW lately. Eventually, once I can lift heavy consistently, I'd like to push back to a SOLID 185 /188 or so.

I'm pretty much adding weight to damn near every movement weekly on all my training days. Granted, I started really light so there is a ton of room for progress, but it's still a good sign nonetheless. Will try to squeeze in some bi's and back tomorrow before I jump on a plane to Vegas til Monday for work.
