injury/ shirt question
« on: March 06, 2011, 02:03:16 PM »
I swear I remember reading somewhere that if you have bad shoulders that hurt when benching,(like mine do) you can get one of the older Inzer blast shirts, cut it up the back from the bottom about 3/4 the way up. this way you can get it on & off by yourself, get some shoulder relief, but still get a good workout.
ie.. not so much shirt

Anybody ever hear of this? Or tried it??

Sorry dude, never heard of this. No harm in trying it I guess if you have an old blast shirt lying about? I find it's my triceps tendons that are hurting now benching. I'm moving into a double ply after my comp in two weeks time, can't wait  ;D Won't do my tendons any favours though. lol

or try using a shirt that is a little big on you but still tight enuff to protect your shoulders.

What do you mean? Your skins being broken by the shirt? That's pretty standard. I'm in a super katana, I pretty much have permanent lines in my arms now  :) Where is your grip normally when you bench?

I put my indicator finger in the ring (mark) of the bar. I can't bp with narrow grip because of my shoulder injury. I was using an F6 until 3 weeks ago. Now with this super katana shirt it caused me some bleeding... I bench like a bber...  ;D What am I supposed to do? On the 27th this month I'll be competing in the Portuguese GP Deadlift Bench press WPC, and I am not being able to make the pause...

That's perfect. You want your index finger on the rings of the bar. The super katana is a difficult enough shirt to break in. I had about 6-8 weeks before I used mine in a comp and it wasn't that tight. Work on triples, arch your back hard and get your belly up. Take the bar to the bottom of your sternum and pull the collar of the shirt down nice and low before you get set up. The WPC won't make you pause the bar, just get it down and push like fuck whenever you get the press command  ;D
