That may be rooted in a mobility issue in your forearms and wrists. I would suggest also looking into some stretches for long-term improvement. "Front Rack Mobility" would be a useful topic to research.
As I age I am getting better at stretching all the time. It is the result of an injury.
I've struggled with wrist pain off-and-on for a couple of years, curl/ez bar would always make the pain flare up. I haven't had much pain at all in the past ~6 months, after using a wrist brace for several weeks and just lifting heavy shit all the time. Think I eased the wrist strain and then gained some hand/joint strength. shrug
What kind of brace?
this tbh
Anyone else bench in the squat rack when it gets heavy? I’ve been doing it when the gym isn’t crowded and it’s pretty sweet especially since no spotter
@JesseJames#9618
@peytonT absolutely at the gym I'm at it's set up that way on purpose
It was some effort but worth. I finally got to use a bench wide enough for my shoulders
@Deleted User thanks brother.
@JesseJames#9618 No problem. I sometimes wear wrist wraps (Nordic lifting brand) for weights, but I wore the Mueller Fitted Wrist Support at work for several weeks and noticed a significant difference/improvement.
Press F for my squat career fellas. Dunzo.
Joints?
Aye
@Deleted User thanks for the help bro.
@Deleted User come on bro get some osteo bi flex 💪🏼
And the squats are really starting to take a toll on my knees
Oh believe me man I understand 100% I was just kidding around.
It sucks because I really like them. Especially the warm ups. They feel really good on my hip flexors and back you know?
I like squats the most out of all the big lifts
Deadlift > bros
I agree, I'm fond of the deadlift
Y'all gotta bench, bro!
I’m not bailing on deadies or bench lads. Just squats.
Bench is my worst lift. I use my longish arms as excuse
T Rex arms checking in, bench 4x a week
I close grip 205 for sets of 4 today and Comp paused them. Even got a video
Ah very nice
Show us the vid my dude
I can post those in here?
Yes
no, sorry
u have to be taller than 5'8" to post in here
Says the video is too big
Idk how to compress it on my phone
Use YouTube and set vid to private
I’ll max in a few weeks so those should be short enough
Can I post the link to YouTube upload?
