Triceps Giveout In Bench..

[ExtraMile]

So I've tryed using a wider grip but its still the same, so I switched to dumbells but that gives a sharp pain in my left shoulder, benching incline makes my triceps ache even more, even when my grip is as wide as my bar will let me. I work out at home, but Im hoping to join a gym late august-mid september.. but would I be able to get away with a chest workout of just pullovers, bench dips, fyles and variations of pushups eg clap pushups and weighted pushups?


Also i wondered what u wud reccomend.. if i know i havnt had the right amount of protein and carbs etc throughout the day should i miss a workout and do it the next day when i wud have a decent intake of carbs, protein etc or should i just do the workout anyway but not get the best out of it because of diet?

Do the workout anyway, but always get enough food. Jus make sure you eat some carbs/protein after you workout everytime.

How long have you been working out? If you're new to lifting weights you may just have to bring all your body parts up to the same level, certain body parts may be naturally stronger than others.....kind of like how if you're right handed, you will have a tendency to pick up something haveier with that hand.....

And ya, you need to tighten up your diet. Diet is key

Going wider will incorporate the pecs more. If you tris are week then hammer them and build them up. You want to be doing some close grip benching.

 

[chaos13]

agree, throw some close grip bench as your first tri exercise.

french press, skull crushers and heavy close grip benches and heavy regular benches will build your tris

your tris will also pick up some strength as you start lifting heavier


also , the heavier and better you lift in squats, the more you would be able to bench

Yeah, I thought my tris were quite strong but i guess my chest is getting stronger than i thought, allright ill try to build tris more..

And thats funny lol iv been noticing a differance in the amount i can squat lately..

If you have a rack in your gym do pin presses. I don't know if this is the technical term for this movement but basically you get a rack where you can set pins to whatever level you want, put the pins in to around a half-way through your motion of benching. Then get a flat bench and go under the bar that is on the pins and do close grip and lock out at the top. This will improve your lockout strength and should get you to bench a lot more.

Buy these power lifting videos to help increase your bench if you want. I used them to get through my sticking points.

There called lockouts. Alot of powerlifters train it because thats the part of the movement where bench shirts dont help.

Hard to say what your pain is, one of the worst injuries in your shoulder is rotator cuff damage...id lay off the gym, never workout through pain and goto a doc...as far as lifting when you havent eaten right, you still should but always try and eat what you have to, bring food with you.
