Not a powerlifter. Anyway. I've not been lifting since i had my back injury in January 2019... Had an huge pain in lower back and doctors could not find anything. Wasn't able to arch my back. Not able to stand for too long without feeling pain coming. Took my time off to heal. Been back now for a 2 weeks and pain free for almost month.
My bench is still decent. But now the descent is slow. I put up 320lbs and it took me almost 4 seconds to touch my chest? It was like i was scared. The press itself was easy. Trainer told me that descent took probably more energy than the push. Even my 225lbs warm up was slow as this. (I warm up with bar and ease up)
Anyway to fix this? Like before this becomes habbit mentally.
