    shaky arms while benching again

    Well I haven't posted in about a year,but over that time I have still been lifting. I have 3 years of lifting under my belt, but my arms are shaking again while benching. Am I going up in weight to fast for my stabalizers to catch up or what?


    Thx
    Can't lift it just go SSJ!!!!

    Just be thankful you aren't injured. I see plenty of guys shaking when they are on the bench. I think it happens periodically. I know it has to me.

    It means when he does the exercise and lifts the weight his arms are shaking. Not violently shaking, but noticeably.

    I understand that...what I mean is why would they shake? Too much weight, to little time between workouts, tired...you know......why?

    I'm not sure of the factors. I think it's just certain times your body will react that way. Your nervous system may be shocked? Someone might have a better answer.

    My arms have always shaked for as long as I can remember.. my legs will even twitch sometimes too.

    A set will still feel great even if I shake all the way through it (you can even hear the plates rattle sometimes).. I wouldn't worry about it man.

    The problem could be week stabilizer muscles as well.

    Was it a one time deal or did you just switch something in your workout?
    Cool

    Twitching so far as I know is most often blamed on not enough water consumption, maybe electrolyte balance as well, I dunno.
