It's been a year since my tricep surgery and today is the day to put the Metal Ace bench shirt back on. My tricep feels good and my raw strength is close to where it was pre-surgery. I've worn a single ply shirt a couple times without issue but this shirt is much more aggressive. I'm not going to the chest today and my only real concern is the pressure around the tricep and how it will feel/impact the movement.
Bench to 2 board - wore Metal Ace bench shirt
worked up to 500 for a single
405 for 2 sets of 2 reps
three board press- raw
315 for 2 sets of 3 reps
tsunami bar bench
45 per side for 3 sets of 15 reps
standing military press with angle bar
95 for 3 sets of 20 reps
reverse hypers
90 for 2 sets of 15 reps
I didn't have any pain issues or movement issues wearing the Ace shirt during bench. BUT everything felt heavy. the 500 moved okay but I didn't have much left after that.
