Pain while bench pressing

[Visualiza]

Whenever i do the incline bench bar or barbell doesn't matter i start to feel pain in my left deltoid never in my right. What could cause this, I made sure my form is correct and it is, i dunno why i get this pain and sometimes its so bad i can't finish the set or continue.

it's your rotators cuuf also know as supraspinatus, stop benching for a while, and don't go wild on all pressing movements, when it's gone warm it up before you start benching

how long should i wait till i can start benching again

i get the same thing in the right deltoid, only incline presses, its a joint pain i think it is the rotator cuff, i find it only happens when i strain on the last few reps.

When you go to bench press, your body automatically goes to lift with the strongest muscles available. For this reason, you're going to be hitting your rotator cuffs hard. Try lifting more with your triceps by bringing the bar down about two inches lower on your chest than normal. Once I started doing this, the pain in my shoulders went away and hasn't come back.

just start real light again and work your way up, if you feel some pain stop doing them for the moment i would wait 1-2 weeks, don't forget to warm up your rotators cuff next time

This is an injury that can put you out for a long time! You gotta take it easy on it. One example is about a year and a half ago my buddy was well on his way to benching 300 lbs. He started to feel the pain, and didn't back off. 9 months into the pain he stopped lifting for 2 months. He still has the pain, and can't bench over 135 now.

Try dumbell presses!!! Stay away from the barbell, and see how the dumbells feel for you.

even on dumbell incline press i still feel the pain.

How do you warm up your roatary cuffs right?

If I do 100 on incline press how much weight and for how many reps should i do for my warm up.

My heaviest set on incline dumbell press is with the 100's right now. I've been doing it first in my workout, and I usually do something like:
35's for 8-10 to loosen up
45's for 6-8
55's for 6-7
70's for 5-6
80's for 2-3
90's for 2-3

100's for 6-7(to failure...hopefully getting 8 reps next week!)
95's to failure

I do a ton of warmups because I used to get pain in my shoulders all the time when I was doing bb press a few years back. I learned warming up properly was sooo important. Plus gradually going up in weight rather than making big jumps gets me ready for how the heavy weights "feel."

Just because people tell you it is your rotator cuff, doesn't mean it is. A few years back I was told that for about a year.(even by a doctor). Finally they went in and found my labruim(sp?) was torn. I still can't flat bench ven the bar without pain so I gave it up. All I can do now is flat DB and incline BB and DB. No dips either.
You should really go see adoc as doing rotator cuff excercises can may actually injure something else worse(if it is something else).
I was doing therapy that was making the pain worse. I have had a rotor injury too, if it is your r/c stay away from the gym for a week and the next come back light 15 reps.(don't over do it.)
Even exercises like curlls and squats can hurt your r/c.

could it be my left rotarary cuff isn't strong enough tto support the weight i do? I know its weaker than my right because when I take dumbells and do front raises i do a significant amount less with my left than right.

Go see a doctor bro. Tell him exactly what you've told us

Thanks for all the advice everyone

I went to the doctor just to check it out and it turns out my Supraspinatus is sore/hurt but nothing major. She said to stay off it for atleast 2 weeks so i guess i'm out till then.
