Could be if it’s the RoM affecting it. Can be when the shoulder rotated far enough for the bar to touch. When mine gave me grief a couple of years back I pretty much just stopped and did overhead pressing and dips as they didn’t bug me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read a good (and long) bench article last night from Smitty (Jedd’s old partner). It had a lot of pain diagnosis stuff in there to look at. One thing I remember seeing is it might be your elbows are flared at the bottom of the movement too. Sorry I don’t have the link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that can certainly be a culprit. For me personally, I don’t think bench ever gave me any shoulder issues; it was all the stuff on the side I’d do. Of course then it hurt to bench. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Unfortunately the SLAP and supraspinatus tears weren't from benching, but damn does it agravate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 February 18, 2019 Before Supper Week 2. 32%, 15’C, bucket chalk. Not super-setting the axle deadlift and holds with squats made them feel much better tonight.

Shoggoth Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 February 20, 2019 Before Supper Going to separate out some grip away from my core workouts. Saxon Bar Deadlifts wu to 190 x 3/3/5 to 160 x 5 - left ring finger was feeling a tad jacked so I cut the rep set short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 February 21, 2019 Before Supper Week 2. Trying my new toy tonight; the zercher/front squat harness. Felt a tad more upright as the bar is slightly out further than a regular, racked front squat. Warm-up went a bit quicker too as there was less time used in getting flexible enough to front squat. Front Squat w/Harness wu to 117k x 2 x 5r Deadlift wu to 445 x 5 x 3r Thumbless BB Holds wu to 150k x 5 x 6s - could go heavier but I’m working on keeping the bar in my palm rather than out on my fingers. Ring Row MYO x 12-6x3r I went to use my harness and zercher the bar off of the pins and back to the J-hooks. Definitely a belted or at least a worked up to lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I know I can continue with reps and know how they translate to a 1RM for the following weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
