i always do full ROM i feel it protects against injury doing things properly. to me it seems when people do a lot of partial lifts etc it builds imbal;ances in teh body which can be susseptible to injury and often do get injured more easily

yes, always here is a video

i reckon i could do over 100lb dbells for a few reps fresh

Excellent presses Goudy!

100 pounders would be easy.

I agree...except when real men have been doing heavy militaries and BB benches for so long, without enough rotator work, that they've destroyed their shoulders $:-\$

HOW DO U SAVE THE ROTATOR?

No idea at this point. I still have aggravation in my right shoulder and have been doing DB benches instead, which doesn't cause really much pain. I haven't had an MRI done yet but I'm starting to think it is a rotator issue. I'm in my early 30s and it sucks thinking I may never BB bench heavy again. I've done 405 many times for 1 rep (455 is my all time RAW max but that was a few years ago) but I really wanted to get that 500 RAW eventually. No way that's happenin' at this rate. $:-\$ I may have to become a bodybuilder after all.

lets just say this quote from a G.P i know when i asked about lifting weights:

"its fine...BUT ANYTIME YOU ARE PRESSING WEIGHT ABOVE YOUR SHOULDERS...YOU'RE ASKING FOR TROUBLE"

Why is your BP so close to your squat

Ursus · « **Reply #217 on:** September 27, 2007, 02:01:50 PM »

cos i neglkected it big time. before these last 5 months the longest period of time i ever squatted for was 2 months and i was very lazy kept it too easy infact.

its omnly recently i have squatted with any conviction etc so hopefully in a year i will be able to squat 240kg get it more respectable

What weight class you plan on entering? 220?

Your squat will improve with time, just try not to get injured like i did.

Dorian Yates always used full ROM and perfect form and retired because of injuries. The truth is everyone has muscular imbalances, with most people their right side is dominant if they're right handed and their left side is dominant if they're left handed.
