Post-Conditioning Pressing
-
First I did low incline dumbbells. I did a few warmup sets then hit my working sets with the 70s in the 5-7 rep range. Once you’ve torn muscle or connective tissue, it’s always a bit more injury prone so the process of regaining previous capacity has to be slow and laborious. I’ll probably stay with the 70s at least the remainder of the year if not longer. It’s worth the time investment to guarantee as much tissue integrity before subjecting my pec to further load stress
-
Following those, I used my favorite Hoist ROC-IT Machine Press, heavier than the previous few weeks but in the 10-15 rep range
-
For my final press, I did “Louie’s” or barbell pushups with a loose bar in the bottom of a rack. This is a great calisthenics movement because it takes the standard pushup and adds a grip component for greater stability and concomitant force production. It’s a tremendous “pump” exercise for this reason. You can really blow up your chest, shoulders and triceps in a way that is in most cases both very safe, scalable and amenable to muscular failure without a ton of fatigue
-
Last, with my newfound addition of direct tricep work, I did overhead cable rope extensions. It’s a great stretch position movement for the long head, but for me not as elbow irritating
