Reverse Grip Bench Press, et al

Reverse Grip Bench Press:

     132/5, 152/4, 172/3, 192/2, 222/3, 222/3, 222/1, 182/8, 182/8, 182/8

     * My left shoulder was really bothering me tonight and I just never felt comfortable doing the movement. Last week, I did a set of 222 at 2. This week I was able to do that weight for two sets of three, so that's an improvement. Instead of doing work sets of five, I decided to lower the weight and do a few sets of eight because of how I was feeling. I really enjoy doing the OHP, but I am afraid that is what is causing my left shoulder pain when I bench.

  1. Just a thought, but I know my shoulders start to act up if I go several months without using some kind of rear delt and/or external rotation movement. Pull-aparts, face-pulls, rear flyes, etc. I recnetly tried just super-setting these in between all my pressing movements for a few weeks and my shoulder felt much better.
