training delts....

Think that bicep tendon thing may be my problem too. Never heard of it before.
I agree with muddy on the 3/4 rep---as I get older my joints won't take what they once would. Someone recommended not coming down as far with weight and it helped. With light db's I still come down all the way but not with the heavy ones. Also, we've discussed technique quite a bit but we haven't asked Largeli how his chest is progressing. If chest is lagging check technique but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If shoulder day rolls around and your anterior delts are still dore from chest day
it doesn't make sense to me to do a bunch of military presses and front raises.

My point is, if you are benching correctly you shouldn't be sore from chest day.

I apologize., Shibby. I didn't mean to come across like I was arguing with you. I don't always express myself well in writing and I don't pretend to be as knowledgeable as you in this matter. I just thought we might be getting away from Largeli's original
question. Really need to know his training split too. As for my experience, I think I originated bad form on the bench press and paid for it. Have always had trouble isolating any muscle. Couple of quick anecdotes and I'll yield the floor. Boyer Coe once said you could get a complete body workout with just squats, bench presses and rowing. Of course, it would help to have Coe's genetics. Second I used to know
a guy who bench pressed 2 hrs a day, 7 days a week. He had everything but legs.
He had lats, six pack, you name it yet he never any of those body parts. Weighed
about 150-160 and could do reps with nearly 400 lbs. I never figured that one out.

[Shibby]

No need to appologize. I just didn't want there to be confusion as to the form. When it comes to people with abnormal genetics, alot of the rules can go out the window. But you can't really pay attention to those.

My delts burned after I worked flat bench and then incline bar would fry my shoulders. After I started working out by myself I tried decline dumbells and the difference was immediate! My chest has grown and decline dumb are the only chest exercise I do. 45 degree "bench" at a smith machine burns my anterior delts and hits my upper chest...so I get the best of both worlds! try it.
