Shoulder problems

[JamesLarod233]

For a while, I had pain and cracking sounds in my shoulders. I never experienced that before(I mean something that would last for weeks). I would guess that its due to poor chin-ups form, it took me a while to get it right as I never did that exercise. I would also feel rotator cuff pain when doing bench presses. So I just took 10 days off then I worked out my chest and there is a huge improvement, almost no pain at all. I am not sure what was that, but anyways since the pain is gone should I get it checked out or not ?

Pain and discomfort are two different animals.

If it's pain then have it checked out, if it's discomfort, you might just need to add in face pulls and practice proper form for bench press.

Are your shoulders wailing about when you bench or are you properly braced?

It was pain, even simply swinging my arms didn't feel right(as if my shoulders are 'rusty' and I try to oil them up). No wailing in bench press but it would feel like there's a hammer hitting my rotator cuffs.
