The other bloatmogger worked up to 422, obviously a much stronger bencher than I am.

^ Once upon a time, my training partner bench pressed 500 pounds in the gym. But he’s working his way back up there now after having torn both biceps.

Not peaking, just up after some injuries.

You could say I’ve been sandbagging in recent months because of pec strains. The strength has been there for a while, I’ve just been scared to express it.

Myrin brah. Love seeing lifters grind out the press even when the bar stalls a bit on the way up, nothing feels better imo.

That’s always a little scary for me because I’m just one bad position away from tearing a pec (at least that’s what my eccentric brain is telling me), but yeah I feels good if I can get through it without any pain.

I'm not a PLer and my bench is nowhere close to that obv so maybe my perspective is skewed, but I just love that feeling of telling your spotter to phuck off and finishing the rep yourself.

EDIT yeah see you talking about pec tears, phuck that noise.
