I didn't realize posting videos on progress constituted as bitching. As far as a wide grip, I tried and stated before that a wide grip hurts my shoulders; this is with the should blades pinned back. I found out on my own tonight, that I get more shoulder pain the lower the bench angle is. As...

I have been taking prilosec, but I am still having issues. I called the doctor and I get the run around with the nurses. All I get told is "take more". I've tried and it doesn't work. I'm also worried about it preventing nutrient absorption. I know some people have too little acid and can have...

Strength for lower body, size for upper body.

I wasn't sure if I should post in my other thread, or make a new one since the topic is slightly different, I decided to make a new thread. Anyway, I tried sumo deadlifts today and they felt way better and more natural for me. I'm sure this is probably due to some sort of tightness. I've been...

I do eat fairly clean. The thing is, I went on a bulk too soon. I started bulking when I was at 21% bodyfat(just judging by the mirror) I'm at 23-24% now I think. I just got tired of cutting.

I'm prone to sleep apnea, so I cant get too fat.

One last question for now. I'm on a bulk right now, but I need to cut no later than March. Actually I should cut now as you can see, but I really want to hit some goals first. How easy would it be to gain bench strength if I go down to just maintenance calories for about 2 months, before a cut?

So how wide? Should I try having my pinky over the rings on the bar?

Yeah, the reason I have a close grip is because with a wide grip my shoulders feel real stiff moving the bar down.

I went as low as comfortable. I wish I could give you guys a side view. Once Monday comes I'm going to try and take a better video, since I just bought a new phone.

Newest video with 135 on the bar. http://vid37.photobucket.com/albums/e51/BrainStorm_wow/HPIM2775_zpsdyjmgqfv.mp4 I'm going lower in this video, than any of the others. I don't think I'll be able to touch my chest with my super long forearms, but this looks close. What do you think? I have the...

I'll have to test it next week. I wore my arms out. How did that look though?

Well, I'm able to bench much closer now. I'm still not close to my chest, but I am going down to 90 degrees now. Atleast that's a major improvement. All I did was lower the angle of the bench. Here's a video...

I was having shoulder pain, but when I finally found out how to tuck my elbows all the pain is gone now; however I am only going slightly lower with my elbows tucked. I feel like I'm going low when I bench. It's like my body cant bring the bar lower. I figured I'd be happy going to 90...
