I do bench press twice a week. Tuesdays and Fridays.
every week I do 180 Kg.
I have been doing this for months now. OK I cycle every 6 weeks how I get to 90% or 100% but I keep it high.
Sometimes things happen, like the other day my son woke up many times during the night, and daddy needed to take care of him... can't expect the best bench, still we manage to go.
And before this I was doing it once a week, very difficult to miss one week.
Here is a video of me lifting 200 Kg (440 lbs) for illustration purposes only.
and here are 2 pins I have on my left shoulder due to a motorcycle accident in 2012.
I have recently changed the bench press position from "bodybuilder" to "powerlifter" because of inflammation and pain on my chest tendon.
This has really helped a lot the chest tendon, but it takes some time to get used to it.
what can I do to maintain this level of training with the possibility in due course to try new PBs (personal bests) once in a while?
I asked my doctor, he says the chest tendon can snap without a warning when submitted to heavy weights.
I take vitamins and supplements,
try not to get too stressed at work,
try to have minimum sleep,
I am vegetarian, and try to keep a good diet (though I am a bit on the overweight side now).
