Max effort upper day;
Tricep overhead extensions 3x20
Ss w/cable flys
Bench: triples up to 275 then 295x2, 305x2,315x2.
Put on the slingshot, 325x2,340x2,350x2,360x2
Tricep rope push downs 5x15
Face pulls 3x15
Barbell row 15,15,12,10,8
Forearm was giving me shit as usual but not enough to have to throw the towel in early.

does the slingshot help mitigate some forearm pain? I bought one a while back but I don’t implement it in my training as much as I could.

Only the 2nd time I've used it, 1st time I had more forearm pain while pressing less weight, this time less pain pressing more weight, so I would say no, it doesn't help mitigate and forearm pain.

One thing I've noticed that may help a lil bit is throwing on some micro bands (reverse) if you bench in a rack.

ya I guess all the weight is still on it. I might have to try the flossing pre workout I’ve heard people mention on here.

Have you been trying to gain weight? Where has it been recently, higher or lower?
yes I have.
about a month ago I was hovering around 274,then last week was surprised to see 277 and then 280 this morning.
ive added in an extra dirty meal everyday over the last week.

been over 270 for a minute dude where ya been?
not lean, not fat, somewhere comfortably in between lol

You're a big dude. Do you think the switch from BB to PL has been the difference?

6'4" 280. You, Jin and Brock are definitely giants.

new training/new stimulus.
I'd like to think ive packed some new decent muscle on, will know better once i cut the fat at the end of all this ;)
heaviest ive been yet and look better now than my last crazy bulk that ended around 273lbs
Don't wish to get any heavier, would prefer to compete in the 275lb class but i'm just gonna let my body do what it does.

Little update;
Went out to lunch, when it was time to sit up I barely could, back is so tight, pain shooting down leg. Fukk.
Now thinking about it, I was getting a terrible lower back pump yesterday just walking the dogs. May be related.
I rolled and stretched and warmed up god before my workout today so idk wtf happened.
Got an ice pack on it now then gonna take a hot epsom salt bath.
