Have you thought of peptides? I just started taking TB500 to try healing my tendonitis and shoulder issues.
The stairmaster makes me feel retarded. I dont like the way it glides.
I can do 20 min on the cycle like it ain't nothing. Especially if there is some thing good on espn

I'm not up on peptides (atm). How's it working so far? My left elbow is starting to bother me also (going to ice it too)
I thought I heard it was hard finding a reliable peptide source. Bunch of bunks peps out there.

I will have to let you know, it's too early to know if it's working. I took advice of a member here for a source. Vial labels are cheesy looking, but this member says he has had good luck with said source. From what I've read, another 1-2 weeks and I should see it working. I'll have to give you my report then.
ok guys, heres the workout that got me up there. just being real, saying u wanna hit 500 and doing all these basic bro lifts wo t do it for you. try this out.
I have about 25 years of notebooks with training sheets that look very similar to that.
MG buy a voodoo band from Rogue fitness. There are videos of how to wrap your elbow and shoulder. Have your wife apply it after you do the rotation work. I felt a noticeable improvement in about a week using one.

Pretty ambitious 75lbs in a year. Doable but extremely hard. I compare benching and really all complex lifting to horse power on a motor. A lot of us come out stock at 200hp with a little of work and some cash(determination) we can get into the 300's fairly easy. 400's takes a lot of time in the garage and shitload of cash. 500's is whole different monster not only you have to put time and cash into your engine(chest) you have to seriously invest in your transmission, differentials, brakes etc. etc. or your ride will fall apart.
I understand your wanting to cut the weight back but I think you need to lose some of the reps and sets and add some weight. Train each body part as hard as your killing your chest.

I love your analogy...as I am a huge fan of cars and horsepower.
I have a car & engine that's capable of 1000+ rwhp. It has a big cubic in motor (forged), high volume fuel system, and a 91 mm turbo rated at 1200 hp. The body (frame) has been upgraded to handle the power with coilovers, chrome molly light weight k member, etc....
You are 100% spot on...my friend. I can now change or improve my methods to reach that goal.
Not sure if you guys have seen my cycle log, but my workouts are not bro lifts. My goal at the end of my cycle was to bench press 375, at that time, due to this injury, I had not barbell benched anything in years. Hell 4 months ago I couldn't pick my kid up. Just yesterday I was able to go to the beach and throw a football around some.....yes...the beach....lol
I do appreciate all the comments and insight.
Shoulder is feeling a lot better since using the resistance & strengthening bans......still needs a lot of work.

Update:
Decided to do front to back, overhead shoulder rotations with a stick. I hate this rehab, but it's needed for proper shoulder mobility. I can only go front to back right now for 5 reps. Coming back over back to front is impossible right now. I also have my arm & hands placed far apart on the stick.
As I'm doing this exercise I can feel it massaging and breaking up years of scar tissue....It's the hurt that feels so good.

I do those as a warm up on almost all of my bench days. I usually use one of my son's hockey sticks and hold almost all the way at the ends. Definitely gets your shoulders loosened up.

Ive been doing those stretches you showed me every upper body day, no more shoulder pain at all. Im able to incline bench 225 x3 now.
Update:
I have complete shoulder mobility. Now you guys know, the front delt was damaged pretty bad. It looked twice the size of the other one.
Shoulder dislocation mobility helped alot but what I did next help set me straight.
What I did:
Put my hand behind my back (palm facing away). Stand up straight and tall, stick your chest out and breathe. When sticking the chest out and up stretches the front delt tremendously. If done right, this stretch can be brutal.
Next:
Since there was inflammation and impingement, I put Vaseline on my front delt, took a golf ball a massage the heck out of it. It was the feel good pain. I could feel the scar tissue breaking up, as well as the muscles going back into their original place. I massaged the outer chest to the delt. The golf ball allows hard pressure on the muscle, the Vaseline is used like massaging oil.
Lastly
I would lay on my back (on the floor) and take the bad shoulder hand and place it on my left delt. Taking my left hand, I'd place the palm of my hand on the right elbow. Pushing straight back towards the floor for 3 sets of 20 second. This manually push the shoulder backwards, back into its original location. I would also do this same thing lying face down.
I'll link the vids on YouTube once I located them again.
@Notits...this is how I fixed/fixing/rehabbing my shoulder.
also still doing strengthening rehab with the bands.
Also tried doing shoulder dislocation mobility while laying face down on the floor also
I hope to get back in the gym this weekend and get back to it.....@Ozzy619 (hope we can match our schedules up) While I have around 98% mobility, the strength is seriously lacking. Time to start from the ground up again...

Hit me up, Im still not working so go late or early, Ill be free and need a spot to go heavy
You sure you wanna go for 5 hundo big man? After all this?
Some people stop at nothing to achieve their goal/s. The trials and tribulations they suffer along the way make the actual accomplishment that much sweeter in the end bc they know what they put into it and how much they suffered. These people I have great admiration for personally. I would put my money on him still going for the 1/4 ton or beyond!

I think he can do it as long as he takes care of that shoulder. Ive seen him lift and think its very obtainable to him. He shot passed me so fast as far as strength goes its embarrassing. If I remember right he used to bench 450 or something around there natty.

It depends on your genetics and how hard your willing to work for it and that's not even saying injury's. Ive seen a dude that's eighteen in my gym already throwing four up with just a bottle of test and a good work ethic
