Thanks for the advice Scott. I will give it a try. My elbow finally feels 100% and I am ready to start training for a comp coming up in 3 months. I am guessing my training has been incorrect. I very seldom went lower than a 3 board. I have good power off the 3 board, now I just have to get used to having the really heavy weight closer to my chest. Sometimes I think it is all in my head and maybe I am thinking about the amount of weight on the bar. Did you ever have to overcome any mind games while benching?

: take a few weeks at two board and get

: and get to 600 55o will be a smoke show

: That was a very good point. I think I
: was bending at the elbow in any
: direction to make the bar touch chest.
: I was getting frustrated and was doing
: anything possible just to touch in the
: shirt. It can be a very frustrating
: process! I can lockout over 625Lb
: (using a 3 board) but then sometimes
: 500lb about an inch from my chest does
: not go so well. As I get closer to my
: chest it seams I start getting out of
: the groove. I do bring the bar towards
: belly. I am going to focus on staying
: tight in shoulders and just moving the
: bar down with shoulder motion and
: keeping my wrist and elbows in same
: position throughout the lift.

: keeping the collar higher will allow u

: thanks! I will pay attention to that.
: I
: noticed if I don't tuck way in my
: shoulders also feel better. maybe I am
: over tucking! I also heard that I
: should twist the sleeves so the logo is
: on the outside of my arms. I will try
: anything right now!

: that is good question. sounds like u
: are
: over tucking. i used to go to bill
: crawfords and bench so i'm not pulling
: this out of the air. elbow and forearms
: need to stay in line. rotate at the
: shoulder in a natural line to keep from
: pinching anything. elbow at 90 shoulder
: up and down. takes practice but that is
: why some people can touch 300 under
: there max. hope that helps.

: I went back and looked at some video
: and
: noticed something. I use an index
: finger on ring grip and when I get
: close to touching chest my elbow is way
: in and my wrist is out wide yet. I
: think this is what is putting so much
: pressure on my elbow. Should the elbow
: remain directly under the wrist the
: entire time? I just used the bar and
: toyed around with my elbow placement
: and I noticed if I keep my elbow lined
: up with my wrist i didn't get any pain.
: I just assumed that "tucking
: elbows" meant to pull your elbows
: as far in as you can. Is it important
: to have everything lined up. I am
: consistently working with over 600lbs
: and I want get this elbow and form
: issue figured out before I really
: damage myself.

: I doubt it is the shirt. Are you trying
: to twist the sleeves of the shirt after
: it is on? When you bench are your
: elbows directly under the bar? THey
: need to be or it will torque your
: elbows. First suggestion is to stay out
: of the shirt and let it heal. Video
: your bar path from the side and watch
: your elbow track. Make sure they are
: under the bar all the time.

: Thanks for the advice that everyone has
: given in regards to touching with my
: katana. I finally touched yesterday!
: Now I have a problem with my elbow. I
: am having some pain on the inside of my
: elbow, it hurts even when applying
: pressure to the little bone on the
: inside of elbow. I am not sure if it
: is sore from tucking elbows too far in?
: Is it possible that my shirt seam was
: in a bad spot and was putting pressure
: on a nerve or something? I try to keep
: elbows flared somewhat, this doesn't
: seem to bother elbow, but when I tuck
: it in is when I can feel it. Just
: tucking elbows in without even having a
: bar in hand puts strain on the elbow.
: Is anybody familiar with this or know
: what could be the cause? Is my form
: possibly the issue?
