Think I'll take more breaks from bench training more frequently. Had been focusing on weighted dips and low (20 degree) inclines for past 5 weeks. Biceps tendons feel great now.
Guess I should add that a PR wasn't a total shock. I had been training for a local meet and it was rescheduled so the strength was there. I just figured that after taking 5 weeks off benching I would have lost more than I did. My planned final attempt for the meet was 655#. Now I feel like I would have RAPED IT!
Well back to high volume benching now. 700 here I come bitch!!!
