In Response To: Re: Regina (Jim Ray)

Jim Ray said.....I follow RDC's advice to have any assistance work emulate the actual (in this case, benching) movement as closely as possible. (For example, inclines, declines, and close-grips.) No single-joint movements for me. Pushdowns are good for BBing though, LOL

I do declines most of the time now and some close grip declines but not heavy ones. No inclines as they really mess with the shoulder. I have found I don't lose much if any strenght on my flat bench by doing declines as the primary bench movement. Moving my grip in causes more pain so I stay wide.

I will consider dropping the pushdowns. I do want to do some tricep work, so will keep the heavy extensions as they don't seem to bother the shoulder.

Any more suggestions?

Regina
