So, I have been stuck around 400lbs in my bench for over 6 years. Every dam time I get to around 400 I tweak my pec. My best in a meet is a 417. It's actually so bad I have prepped for meets planning to tweak or strain it on meet day. I spend countless hours stretching and doing mobility work. Sorry, for being a pussy but dam this is getting old.
I took 3 months off to do construction on the gym and then over 6 weeks I worked back up to 385 and then went to do a hold with 405 and stretch. I strained it again. Fock! Went to my guy and did some dry needling and graston, but no luck. I am stuck at 135x10 again. I suspect it has to do with scapula instability but have no clue what to do.
Currently I do band. YWTL, swing a sledge hammer and do scapula pull ups. Apparently, I have limited T spine mobility but it's not the spine it's the muscle not allowing my t spine to flex.
Any ideas appreciated,
Hawk
