    struggled with the last set... got all of them, but was a struggle, so might be about to top out finally... we'll see... and yes... I am sore after that workout... mentally I'm ready to try something else, but as long as I'm making progress, there's just no point to it at all... and I am indeed still making progress...

    have a great day,

  • Cytrainer913, Jsnake513 replied to the topic Re: full range of motion on Bench/Inc? in the forum.
    For this issue and anyone that does have shoulder issues the best thing to do for this is stop at about 90 and/or not much lower and touching the chest. Eventually if you keep going to low you will be having work done as your labrums of your shoulders will tear. Some just can't get there and these are the only individuals that shouldn't touch their chests are the ones that have bad shoulders and ones who have had the shoulder surgeries already, otherwise touch your chest!

    My name is Jessica, I'm a newbee at training for fiqure competitions. I've never been on a strict diet, my metabolism is pretty fast and I think I'm almost where I need to be. I have read a few articles and interviews with pros (like this one with MS Olympia Lenda Murray) but where can I find more information on the correct foods to eat and different meal plan? Thank you in advance for your reply.

    Bodybuilders are like Old Ladies, they have 100 different fables that have been blown up as gospel over time and they swear by them like they were religion. I'm sure one is better for something, while the other is better for something else, but my over all personal view point is that it's most important that you work the muscle hard enough that it gets the message that it needs to grow. Either way can have that same effect. That's my experience anyway.

  • flex created a new topic full range of motion on Bench/Inc? in the forum.
    I've had shoulder problems; I was told not to go all the way down on Bench/Inc but rather just go to 90 deg. I don't feel I get a good pump this way, but a guy I lift with just goes to 90 & his chest blew up & his weights went up a lot. Is it better to use lighter weight 7 get a full range of motion or go heavier & just go to 90?
