Improving your Bench......at any level

[RewardingLabor]

I've noticed that when I bench, even when using a weight I can easily control, I wobble a bit from side to side and my arms shake a lot. It's a really small shaking so I'm not sure its even noticeable from the exterior but I can feel myself doing it. Is this a problem? What do I do about it?

Also, how can I improve my bench if i've hurt my back and can't pick up heavy weight?

You wait until your back is healed, then you lift heavy weight.

You can't become stronger without lifting heavier weights. You can't lift heavy weights when you're not lifting heavy.

So heal up, then go lift heavy

To be honest I haven't experienced any shaking since i was a teenager and attributed it to lactic acid......so I was told and it went away as I got stronger.
If you are hurt then heal up before you try lifting heavy. This is a marathon and there is no sense in going backwards....... That will only hurt you more and you will be further away from your goal. I don't advocate anyone using more advanced techniques then they are ready for and at your stage there is no way around a bad back.....take your time and heal up so you can train harder.
