Re: 💪 Bench Press: Arch or Flat Back?

Tried arching at 85 lbs—
“Felt like a pretzel!”
Went flat—more stable.
Critique me—shoulders ache after.
Form tips?

Re: 😴 Rest Days: How Many Is Enough?

I tried 6 days straight—85-lb squats tanked by day 5!
Now it’s 4 on, 3 off—
“Way better!”

Rolled my calves after 85-lb squats—
“Ow, why?!”
Hurt like crazy, but DOMS was lighter. Kinda hooked now—is that normal? Who’s got a pain tale?
