Not the headphones falling off at the end 💀

#

setup looked very awkward but the movement overall was fine; i'd bring the angle a bit closer to your body to avoid shoulder discomfort when it gets heavier

stiff wraith
#

Yeah these benches are scary to set up on bc they feel so narrow

clear hemlock
#

most benches are

#

Every time I lean back I feel like I'm gonna fall right off

#

Working sets coming up

#

The tucking in a bit?

#

I'll try tucking in more then

clear hemlock
#

the wide flare just puts your shoulder at a weak angle for both force output and potential injury

#

it's fine so long as you don't overstress it, but for a general "optimal" db bench your arms should look similar to a pushup, like we mentioned last form check

#

Yeahhhh I don't want to irritate my shoulder any more than it already has been so I'm gonna try my best to focus on that

Oh jeez you just wing it on down

#

I'd be terrified

clear hemlock
#

my body is actually tight on the way down and stable

#

weight is close in, anchored to my body

stiff wraith
#

Oh yeah I can kinda see you brace actually

#

My biggest worry is the legs leaving the ground

clear hemlock
#

I just do that to kick the dbs up

#

lower weight it isn't necessary

#

when you need it, you'll be used to it lol

#

can also see how thin my bench is and how wide I am lol

stiff wraith
#

I think my wrists were a little awkward after looking at that

#

These DBs are feeling light tbh, interested to see my AMRAP at the end

clear hemlock
#

looks good

#

wrists are a bit off but you get better at that over time

stiff wraith
#

Gotta lock down that angle

clear hemlock
#

.gif you get used to it

Hit 12 for AMRAP

#

Forgot to press record to record it smh

#

how's the shoulders feel

stiff wraith
#

The one that usually feels wonky has a slight pain but not like it used to feel, guessing that's just from it being a bit off in earlier sets

#

It feels more like delt soreness rather than the shoulder pain tho oddly enough

clear hemlock
#

that's good
