Kills to bench press......incline and flat bench....hope it goes away

same exact problem. i only bench like every 2 months to try out my strength. a great way to rehab it is to switch to dumbells and try holding them at different angles until you find one that doesn't hurt. if you do exercises for your front delts that can do it. if you do behind the neck presses stop immediately.

Yeah me too. And lately its gotten worse cause I started going heavier. Been going light recently and putting ice on it.

If I raise my arm straight up in the air with palm facing down and lower it straight down to my thigh it clicks $:-\$

that's the identical thing that i have! stop bench presses. do dumbells and turn your palms slightly and find the groove for it not to hurt. and dont do behind neck presses. i had that problem bigtime. still hasn't gone away totally.

You all sound like you have symptoms of arthritits. It happens to many lifters and only gets worse

Gloucosamine works wonders on early stages.

Does it hurt in the shoulders or pec area?

gibberj2 · « **Reply #6 on:** February 13, 2006, 05:22:09 PM »

my shoulders hurt. in the front. to do front raises. upright rows, bench press, shoulder presses when i'm not warmed up. and now that i'm working in a car wash my front delts hurt from that.

bench press pain

...could be one of a dozen things. Get an exam.

I'm 20 years old and have had my shoulder reconstructed twice. Football injuries. every day is a battle in the gym with pain. I have arthrities in both of them now. Being so young this really sucks. So I can tell any one out there with shoulder pain to not mess around get it checked out, take a break, any thing to take care of them. I now can train heavy and manage the pain easily but the doc told me if I had waited just a couple years I would be imobile in my right shoulder by the time i was thirty. Brothers and sisters take care of your shoulders because it is not a good feeling to have your girlfriend put your shirt on for you.

damn

today i started with incline bench press. on my first work set after 3 reps i felt a real sharp pain in the back/middle of my left shoulder. had to stop. i did a back workout instead. i will wait a few days and try chest again

this has happened once before about 8 months ago. during todays workout i think i know how i might hasve tweaked it, when i was doing DB rows i could tell taht if i jerked it too much that is wehre i had hurt it.

it is really frustrating, it better get better. FUCK

listen. you can definately work out chest but do it with dumbells

Aidan · « **Reply #13 on:** March 05, 2006, 02:18:47 AM »

Yup I get this too, it just started with cracking in the shoulder joints doing the 'windmill' warmup or lateral raises. Now it hurts doing presses and I can't do heavy lateral raises. I go to make sure my hand position is spot on for presses and be careful when bringing the bar to my chest. Also I can't do upright rows because the pain is too bad and any press exercise which works dominantly the front delts, ie - military press.

I can do most everything except the worst part about it is i can't do regular squats only front squats. I also have to stay away from any flye movements.

People with shoulder problems are much better off doing dumbell presses rather than barbell bench presses.

youngguns · « **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2006, 09:34:06 AM »

Barbell press on a smith machine is the way to go if you want to still barbell press but I agree bro. Dumbells especially arnold presses are my bread and butter! I don't know about you guys but any cable or machines hurt worse because they don't allow your range they force a certain ROM.

I have had shoulder problems from heavy benching throughout the years. I got bursitis a couple years back and joint has never been as good.
I would recommend supplementing with Glucosamine, this shit is working for my shoulder and other joints as well. Did some reading on it first. It supports ligament and tendon repair and growth. I have been using it for a short while and allready noticable diff. In fact all the discomfort is gone.

Two words, shoulder horn..

gibberj2 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 10, 2006, 06:00:30 PM »

what does that mean?

ARMZ · « **Reply #21 on:** March 10, 2006, 06:04:41 PM »

The muscle around the rotator cuff needs work. Your Chest can handle the weight, but your rotator can't. Need a shoulder horn
