So i had an ACL injury from Muay Thai and decided to lift weights to keep myself busy.
I got on one of those sitting benchpress cable machines because i didn't want to worry about driving my knees on bench at the moment, went for like 5 sets, from light to heavy.
Now it's 5 days later and my chest is still really sore...i've done Muay Thai 2-a-days, sprint conditioning, heavy deads and squats on the same day and have never been sore like i am right now in my chest...
Could it be doing me more harm than good? i noticed that the machine was designed to get your arms to stretch really far back before you execute a press.
It's not just sore, it's pushing it's way to the painful department, could it be some muscle damage?? and i worked out other muscle groups that day too...
I just don't think it's natural to be this sore man....imagine if our ancestors were this sore all the time lol, they wouldn't be able to cope.
That's the first and last time i use a fucking bench press machine...
