Shoulder Saver Bench Press |

Smart Lifts While Healing

Gotta listen to your body, so we worked around a slight left shoulder issue today with the Shoulder Saver Pad on the bench press. 🛡️

The main focus was building intensity while keeping the volume high and the pain low. Not the usual heavy day, but moving some good weight safely is a win! Huge focus on controlled eccentrics and pressing through the elbows.

Here was the working set progression:

• 75 lbs \times 10

• 100 lbs \times 1 (warm-up/cut jump)

• 115 lbs \times 8

• 130 lbs \times 6

• 140 lbs \times 4

• 145 lbs \times 2

• 150 lbs \times 1

Remember, consistency beats intensity when you're hurt. What are your favorite injury-safe modifications? 👇

How to Bench Press
Bench press is probably one of the scariest workouts to perform as a beginner. Honestly so much can go wrong. My biggest advice is start with litttle to no weight so you can start getting used to the movement. This is a movement that should not be rushed or ego lifted. Hopefully these littl
