when i bench i get a bad pain on the inside of my shoulder. its to the front and does not seem to be a muscle pain. anything that i may be doing wrong or is there an exercise i should do that can help make the pain go away? thanks in advance

it sounds like what i did.....its beucase your chest is stronger than your shoulders.....i had to stay off mine for a few weeks.....use the bands to stretch it....i went to a physical theripists and he gave me some exercisses to do

keep the shoulders back, i know exactly what you are talking about, throughout the whole ROM pinch your shoulder blades together

that **** happens to me when I do back sometimes I have tendinitis in my left shoulder so I'm taking 2 alleve in the morning, 2 at night, and icing shoulder after workout. It's definitly getting better.

It's your bicep tendon that is causing the pain. This is very typical when lifting heavy weights. There really is nothing you can do for it besides rest it because your tendon may have small micro tears that are causing the pain. However, you can keep your bicep warm throughout your chest workout and it might help a little. It works for me.

where do you touch the bar to? you should grip shoulder width, and turn your elbows in(try to pull the BB apart)then break at the elbows.

Smae thing happend to me it's because my shoulder blades are drifting apart
get it taken care of before it gets worse

lol at everyone trying to tell op whats wrong. it could be anything, first thing make sure form is good. watch videos on how you should be benching, if it still hurts go see a doctor.
