    What does a bad RC feel like?

    I really want to stay away from injuring this. I was on my last chest exercise for the day(DB flat bench) and when I was on the bottom of the neg before I push up again I can feel a slight twinge in my right shoulder, every other moment is fine and on all my other chest exercises(dips, DB inc, BB dec) nothing bothers me.

    The twinge felt like it was in my shoulder anterior(outside) but underneath the muscle if you can picture that. I'am not to familiar w/ the RC so I could be way off.

    does't hurt too much after a few weeks, but it is a nagging aching constant reminder of how dumb you were. My suggestion: do a search for RC exercises and start doing them so you don't ever have to know what it feels like.

    **** I looked it up and it probably was it.

    I do behind the neck press's and never feel any pain or strain, should I drop this, both(press and flat dumb press), or just the flat db press?

    Damn, BTN press was working so well too.. :sniffles:

    you'll know when you have a bad rc. and i agree, do some rc exercises and ice.

    if it doesnt hurt, it should be ok to do certain exercises.

    The early sign of a "bad" RC can be just a faint tickle in the shoulder. Then if you keep pushing through it you might start to feel sharp pain in a spot when you move your arm a certain way, and feel a heaviness over a larger area. Even at that stage you can recover without any meds or drastic treatment, just by doing nothing more than resting for a few weeks.

    You might not feel anything while working through your pre(ish)-injury, but you'll definitely feel it more and more after workouts. It's best to stop upper body workouts.

    I think anyone can benefit from testing thier close-grip bench press and external rotation strength. With all the predominant horizontal pressing programs out there, this can give you an indication if your program design is balanced. Not many will believe that strengthening the rotator cuff, and stopping benching, will increase your bench.
