Well... maybe it tells you something... maybe you're in anterior tilt? Maybe you're not using your glutes as you should? Or is it just a regular injury?

By the way - up until this year, I've shot from the shoulder/chest area, and I still kinda do it out from the three point range. I used to shoot like that even from inside, because I didn't have enough upperbody pushing strength to shoot from above my head with any kind of precision whatsoever, neither the flexibility to do so. It was like a shot put.

I wonder how much Marco Rubio can bench.

I mean... I mean Ricky Rubio.

Yeah I'm MUCH better at pulling. It was always easy for me. Pulling of any kind. Deadlift, pullups, chinups, rows (though I never do barbell rows) of all kinds. I can do narrow grip cable rows with 120 kg (the heaviest the machine can go) for like 8 reps. I have seen only one guy in my gym doing that, and he's ~40 kg heavier than me (~90 lbs heavier).

Same with jumping - "pulling" myself in the air as in a one-leg jump where I don't bend my knees to jump is easy, whereas "pushing" myself up is very difficult.

Why is it that hard? That's just how I've always been. Why aren't you bench pressing 4x? Why aren't powerlifters bench pressing 10x? Why not 10423842958 x?

You're just saying stuff like we're all the same and have the same built, CNS, and another 2578934534753847 parameters. The fact that I've been training SPECIFICALLY for the squat in the last 6-7 years CONSISTENTLY and I still haven't reached 2x should tell you a thing or two about my body.

Good luck with that. I've benched pretty consistently in the last 6 years, and my 8RM never exceeded 65 kg. Genetics, baby!

Maybe a good idea is to keep rotating pullups-chinups-neutral grip pullups, like I do.

I do 3 sets of 3 of these... and then start with the 2nd exercise the next time and so on.

pullups-chinups-ngp
chinups-ngp-pullups
ngp-pullups-chinups

etc

I don't think you're getting sick... I think you're sore from that tennis that you played

I should work more towards the relaxation realm of athleticism if you're already that strong IMO... think bounds, jumps and sprints. NOT NECESSARILY depth jumps which are, by the way, calf and quad oriented exercises.
