Yeah the dude needs to drop the ego/weight and not move up until he can hit at least 6 clean reps of a lower weight. So imo you did nothing wrong here.
did my day 1 on my new program... wow... i am not used to squatting and benching on the same day.
the workout kicked my *** but i had fun. after squats I felt so weak on the bench cause my CNS was tired af. im hoping my body adapts to it.
also its hard af for me to keep my balance on the goblet bulgarian split squat lol
a retro fitness and blink are opening in my area. which is better? when I go back I intend to do cardio but heavy lifting as well
I've utilized both in my area. the retro by me had better options regarding machines and also DB went into triple digits vs the blink by me only went to 70. the Blink was way cleaner and had better looking broadsa retro fitness and blink are opening in my area. which is better? when I go back I intend to do cardio but heavy lifting as well
I think I’m about to give up bench all together. I don’t enjoy it at all I’ve realized tonight. My max has been 245 for a year, I can hit that any day of the week but any more than that and my arm and shoulder just give out.
I got plates in my forearm on both bones and have really limited ROM in my wrist from it. So I think that ends up torquing my shoulder.
Db press is good though because it doesn’t twist my shoulder. I think it’s gonna be db from here on out. My shoulder and plates in my arm feel like hell right now.

Biggest problems with BB anything is the initial lift off acts as the majority of your workout lol.I haven't BB benched in a year or two and honestly don't regret it. My chest has stayed pretty big/strong too (easy 5x5 w/ 100 lb DBs @ 190 lbs), despite me prioritizing lower body the last year or so.
Dumbells make me focus so much more on the movement and overall ROMs for each arm compared to barbell and I don't get the discomfort I got in my shoulders (broke my clavicle when I was younger, so always heard/felt it click on BB) and wrists.
I might buy one of these football bars for my home gym. Allows for more shoulder friendly benching.

Just started this. Coupling with a little but of running on the treadmill daily.
A few weeks into Intermittent Fasting. Been really digging it so far. Feel like my hunger and appetite is way more regulated now. Mental clarity is awesome. Really easy too if you skip breakfast. I just eat between noon to 8pm
