Today I had my strongest decline bench session in memory. The 1RM was 235 but the big numbers were on the way down where I got 225lbs for four and 205lbs for six reps, untapped territory in the decline angle world. I have found that not only the angle of the bench but also the hand position on the bar greatly affect the shoulder discomfort. If I go with a wide grip, it hurts, if I move my hands in a couple inches there is some discomfort but not pain. It felt nice to at least have something moving in a positive direction at the gym. I have been treading or taking on water for a long time.
My run yesterday was uncomfortable with right leg IT band reentering the picture. I completed the 5K distance but hope there aren’t any lingering complications this week.
