Seven muscles attach the scapula (shoulder blade) to the chest wall and help maintain normal scapular control. These muscles are trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboids major, rhomboids minor, pectoralis minor, omohyoid and serratus anterior. The latissimus dorsi has a small attachment at the base of the scapula but does not significantly contribute to scapular stability.

Of these muscles, the serratus anterior and the trapezius are the most important. A winging scapula is nearly always associated with partial or complete paralysis of either of these muscles. Weakness or paralysis of the serratus anterior, secondary to palsy of the long thoracic nerve, is the commonest cause of winging.

The shoulder blades (scapulae) should act in synchrony with movements of the upper limb. They rotate, protract and retract around the chest wall as you use your arms. About one third of all gross movement affecting the shoulder girdle depends on scapular positioning! The scapulae provide a stable base for upper limb movement. Loss of scapular control can dramatically affect shoulder movement and function.

Scapular winging associated with serratus anterior dysfunction is characterized by prominence of the lower tip of the scapula and loss of scapula protraction during shoulder elevation. Discomfort is usually felt around the scapula and around the back of the shoulders. Flexion is limited (80-120 degrees).

On bulking cycles I do 1 or 2 warm ups at about 185 and then I do 8 sets of 315 for 3 reps and then on my 9th set I try to put on another 10 to 20 pounds to do a max rep. That is for flat bench. I do the same routine for incline at 225 and decline at 385.
 
You guys want to hear a joke? OK, here goes:

SixHeads, what is the heaviest you have benched? 'That's an easy one, the freakin bar! '

That's right, that was when I first tried to workout. I didnt want to--pretty much was forced to by my bro-in-law who could bench 400+ so I wasn't about to tell him no.

Just in case you were wondering--the comedy comes from it's truth...I really can only bench the bar.
 
I was there too! In 7th grade! You'll grow out of it if you work hard!
 
i was there too but in the 10th grade. I benched the bar for 3 reps in gym class and then i decided that it was time to start working out.
 
When I was in high school there was a kid (9th grade) that could barely bench the bar. He is a teacher now.
 
Don't feel bad, I worked out at a gym where everyone competed. Everyone was geared up and I was not. I was working out with like 185 and maxed at 225, and I could only do like 135 on incline. I felt like a complete girl! These guys were putting every weight in the damn gym on the bar and hitting it like 10 to 12 times and they were loading the leg press machine with 1000 pounds and then had a 285 pound guy sitting on top of that! It made me work harder after I got over the horror of having them help pull 135 pound off of me after I tried to incline press it!
 
My numbers for now:

Decline 405
Flat 365
Incline 315
 
My numbers for now:

Decline: 3120
Incline: 2400
Flat: 2960

Think I'm kidding? Well... let me tell you, the first time I got up 2960 ounces on the flat bench... man did it feel like a ton...
 
I'm 24 and can only do the bar--so luckily I have no where to go but up. =)

The funny thing is, my father-in-law is like a freak of nature--benching 300 when he was 13. All of his brothers were giant as well. He's in the football Hall of Fame at Stanford and has a Superbowl ring (Raiders). BTW, I can nearly fit 2 fingers in the ring--guys 50+ and his forearms are still bigger then my thighs!

As I said, no where to go but up!
 
Mudge you animal :lol:

I'm 300 at flat bench...
220 at incline...

I am 6'2"@175lbs. I maxed out last week at 185(bench) after working up to it progressively using 150,160,165,170,175,180, and finally 185X1. I kept putting more on thinking it would be it. Maybe if I had not did so many reps of lower weight, I would have gotten 190. I was stoked. Pretty weak but it is an improvement. After that I did flyes and I was barely sore the next day. I can't seem to get sore doing chest workouts.
 
I'm hardly ever sore muscularly speaking.
 
The only time I remember ever getting sore is when I took like 3-6 months off. Then after returning, the 2nd day I was somewhat sore. But even after not working out for extended periods you can break into it slowly and still not get very sore. You just have to know how to lift light and gradually go heavier as time goes on.
:hehe:

I am always sore, if I train properly.

BTW, I did 135 today on the bench. Woo hoo.
 
When I start throwing on more sets and such like a madman, I will be sore for awhile, but I always seem to adjust later down the road. Same with new movements, my body adjusts after awhile.
 
ermm i cant lift much at all i think my best bench press is only like 48KG which i think comes out at about 90IB hehe . i am 15 and weight about 120ib
 
105.6 pounds, 2.2 pounds per kg.
 
I lift like a mad dog where I'm lifting as heavy as I can for 4 -6 reps and I still don't get noticeably sore... Must be the Glutamine working for me :D Maybe even the vitamin C....I hear that helps too. :)
 
Yesterday December 24th, which was my 48th birthday - I finally hit the 300 mark on flat bench. Was actually hoping for 295, but when that went up easy, I decided to slip on the 2-1/2's and try 300. Did it clean. Woo hoo!
 
i just got 305 the other day for the first time hopefully i can keep improving on that
 
Great job Jersey.... That makes me feel good since I am 41 and doing 300 now :D Gives me some hope when I hit 48-50 :)
