power
4/4/06 BENCH
Shoulders suck!
135x10
225x3
275x2--BS (Bench shirt on)
295x2--BS
275x3--BS
225x5--BS (Nice and slow with a pause)
235x4 -Raw
225x10-Raw-2 boards
135x10--slow with pause
Ok, now i'm starting to get pissed off. I thought my shoulder was fine. The first 225x3 felt soooo easy. It was really smooth. Put the 275 on and that went smooth. The 295 felt good, but after the 2nd one my shoulder didn't feel right again. It's not so much the pain, it's like it takes the inital blast out of my bench. I really feel like I could get a 315x3 if my shoulders didn't hurt/jam up on me. I did a lot of tri work after the benching. For the next week, i'm going to just do 135x10's and tri work and not go anywhere near 200. I think this shoulder shit is from the rack and re-rack on the bench. It was a good workout, but I really wish I felt 100%. Damn!

When I tested myself on these things, my external rotation strength was horrible. Once I brought those up to spec and worked on my close grip strength, I benched with better technique and a lot less pain. The power itself ain't an issue, seems like you have plenty.
