Embarrasing to post but in desprate need for help... please

[TylerCopey]

OK embarrassing part, where to start well basically benching is like a major problem for me...

I can only flat bench 10 reps of like 60 (yes I know) something is wrong, I cant gain on this. When I go down my shoulders sorta pop and its painful. (like very painful)

I can military and incline press just fine along with everything else but its just benching...

I dont know what is going on...

Any Ideas, ive only had a 10lb gain in the past 2 months

[ctran019]

There may be something wrong with your form. Could you try and get somebody to check up on it or even post up a video for the forum?

sorry but with a 60lb bench, pretty sure your form for these must be poor

Maybe you just have a bad shoulder. I know a ton of people who struggle with this because of a bad shoulder. I know in my warm up sets on incline bench my shoulder always bothers me. Then when i start my regular set the pain goes away. Maybe your not warming up properly or you need to get your shoulder checked out.

No, my physical papers say I do, i was checked a while ago so i didnt even realize I did, its a long story and I know you think im trying to make excuses but I honestly do, I was diagnosed with it when I was younger so I did not even realize. Im going by the papers but im getting another physical soon so ill see then to make sure.

The crap are you on about?

Make sure you touch your chest on every rep.
You don't have arthritis.
Take fish oil to cure you of your hypochondriac case of arthritis if it makes you happy.
Strong squat to deadlift to bench ratio.

[Maanbearpig]

OP search rotator cuff injuries on google you might have damaged it.

You may or may not have arthritis, but to me it sounds like you have a weak shoulder rotator cuff in both of your shoulders. I have alot of mates that have issues with their shoulders when they bench. I'm sorry to say, you may have to lay of the barbell bench for a while and work on dumb bell bench.

To help your rotator cuffs if you have resistance bands available: tie one to a fixed end and perform most kinds of shoulder movements.

You don't squat 305, that's for damn sure.

Look up videos on proper form.

A few hints: shoulder blades should be pulled down & back and must stay like this throughout the lift, elbows should be somewhat tucked.

realize that dumbell bench>barebell in terms of chest activation versus shoulder and that going full rom when you have serious pain is as ego retarded as having a rainbow back when you deadlift. Easy fix just don't full rom or switch to dumbells and well don't full rom i never do because even with like 40% of my max it hurts like hell so whats the point

[TravkinK]

Think you should go to a doctor to have a check up on your shoulders before you injure yourself

Actually I do have arthritis in my shoulders, it runs in my family and my physical papers say I do along with any doctor soo I dont know what more proof I can give you...

[phillyfreak7]

Op, are your elbows tucked or flared out when you bench press?

[TylerCopey]

Even I didnt have arthritis, its still a problem and I need help with it... Forget the arthritis maybe I dont maybe all the proof is wrong I dont care...
