shaky arms while benching again

[orphro13]

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

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.

What does it mean when your arms are shakey??

 

[Wolfpack22]

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

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

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

 

[Wolfpack22]

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.

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

That sounds reasonable. Thanx.

CNS (central nervous system) overtaxation could be a cause.

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.

Thanks , I guess i'll take some time off and if that doesn't help I'll know that I am just a shaker.

The problem could be week stabilizer muscles as well.

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

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