I was dianosed with a SLAP labrum tear a while ago but started a bench program no problem. It's weird, and I wonder if that's what I really have.
Mines been off/on for decades. Honestly hurt it first as a small kid, I was obsessed with throwing hard for baseball.
(Dumb move).
"Threw it out" early on. Just been re-injuring over the decades, lots of scar tissue.
My own fault though, it will heal, Ill get back on a heavy bench program, and when I top out it will happen again.
I'm finally getting "OK" with it and accepting it, and just working around it. (Before I'd work it still and ignore the pain or mask it with OTC pain meds (Tylenol, etc).
(Again, not very bright).
Feels good just to ge tback under a bit of weight, even if its smith-machine. (I focus more on triceps with my pressing, than chest anyways).
