I'm a 49 year old, 170 lbs, man. I don't heal as fast anymore. I'v
experienced small muscle strains turn into serious injuries by no
paying close enough attention to them. So, recently I was doing th
bench press. I felt shoulder pain on the second set. I stopped and late
googled bench pressing and injuries.
My normal practice is to bench press a weight 12 times or reps fo
three sets. When I can do that for a month or more, I increase th
weight. I had recently increased the weight to 130 lbs. At this point
could do 12 on the first rep, 9 on the second, and 7 on the third.
One of the sites I read from the web said doing 10 or 12 reps an
three sets was to many reps for the muscles involved while doing th
bench press. It recommended doing 5 reps and 5 sets. It said only to d
8 max. When you can do 6 reps go up on the weight 6 to 10 lbs. An
opinions about this, or advice about how to avoid muscle strain. My for
is good by the way
