Stopped here. The plates I was standing on slid on my right side and I lost my footing, pulled me out of position on the last set, ended up tweaking my back a little. Doesn't feel too terrible, it'll heal up in a few days i'm sure. Will continue along as usual.

Well, its one of the few incline movements I do that feels safe for me, so I do it alot

I don't have the mobility anymore to do the Incline Barbell Bench, I can only bring it down till its about 3" off my chest
Barbell is bad, tore pec that way

I've been fortunate enough to not have sustained any major injury since I began powerlifting, minor strains and tweaks, but plenty around me have torn something.

I'm sure it'll happen to me eventually too, PEDs in the mix complicates a bit. I hope you've bounced back your tear, don't know if your bodybuilding or not

I feel the same way but I love to bench. On a good day i am able touch my chest, some days I gota do partials depend on my shoulder and mobility.but usually as the sets go on I can bet deeper and deeper. Spend more time warming up chest and shoulders.
Try the lowest incline 15degrees I believe straight bar, Nd if u want do a steeper bench try dumbells or smith mabe.

Once we get older or beat up we got to adjust our training, for longevity.

Or try one of these.Screenshot_20240528-093344_Chrome.jpg

No Belt High Bar Narrow Stance Squat
Warmup To
515x8

Leg Press
3x800x12

GHR
3x20

Pullups
3x20

One of my goals for this block was 515x8 for my Narrow Stance Squat, comes out to 585x1, even better yet as it's beltless. Being a predominantly hip and back squatter, this variation is very hard for me.

One noticeable thing on 1G of Test versus other doses I ran, is that I can not put on any weight yet I am getting stronger. My joints also feel amazing. I've never been able to go this heavy without a knee wrap.
