Wonderful.
Hey Rip, I noticed after benching heavy like your supposed to do in SS, my deltoids [front of my shoulders] are sore after. Which I think makes it harder when I got overhead press day because thats the muscle you use. Its not like a tight pain or anything just a sore feeling. My bench is quite a bit stronger then my OHP buts its getting better. I also might be entering my first comp in a month.![]()
Wonderful.
Do your legs also get sore when you squat?
wow im a dumbass. let me rephrase this. Is it bad if the front of my shoulders get sore from benching? I find this effects my OHP, how can I keep progressing if im never fully recovered? Should I take an extra day off to recover better? I get around 4-5 thousand calories a day.
Soreness indicates absolutely nothing except that you have done some eccentric work that you're not adapted to. I don't know where your soreness is, i.e. you may be feeling an injury and not mere soreness. But the fact that you're sore doesn't mean that you can't progress. Do you actually think that advanced lifters don't train or set PRs when they're sore?
The soreness is just in the front of my shoulders, and it always heals so im pretty sure its not an injury. I didnt know that actually, I thought if your chest was sore then its gonna be weaker then when its not sore.
