So I thought I would update this if anyone cared. All of this worked GREAT. I almost didn't repeat ANY chest MR, but when I came around to the last week a hit a few I had not in awhile and saw progress. I also was able to keep all my loading sets for chest moving forward and did not stall or burn out on anything. I also managed to do this with a shoulder and forearm problems!

I also only did extreme chest stretches on my last MR day and upper pump day, less if I was not feeling it. Made a big difference.

Thanks for updating Altamir. Glad to see that these things made a difference for you! One question I have for you is, if you are only doing weighted chest stretch on a certain day(s), are you doing anything else on the other chest days (ie. occlusion stretch, flexibility stretch)? Or are you completely skipping stretching on those days?

I am wondering if standing in a doorway, for example, and stretching the chest that way after pump sets, rather than weighted extreme stretch, would work just as well for occlusion purposes yet not cause the same level of muscle fatigue? I haven't experimented with this yet, but will probably give it a try next blast.

Also an update on my chest training - I swapped iso exercises first and mass builder second, and I have been progressing, however, at a slow rate. On my pressing I have been gaining 1 or 2 reps each A/B/C exercise (1 on incline BB and flat BB, more on incline hammer machine which i can really grind out reps on). I guess this is decent progress, but painfully slow when compared to squatting or any leg movement for that matter that I can go up 5lbs/week pretty much every time.
