I was very pleased with my gains on the bench. I think the arched lower back and flexed scapulae really made a difference. At the same time, the soreness in my right clavicle (AC joint?) has me leery of doing dips for a while--and no bowling for at least as long! The bench, as we all know, is my weakest area, and the only thing I would consider "a bad joint" in my body is my right shoulder. I don't know why, it's just always had a flirty kind of way with that subluxation feeling. I should probably also hold off on one-arm and upright rows this week. Meh, throw some sleep and NSAIDS on it.
