After 30 years of benching , pain is unbearable to do any heavy benching. Incline is even a problem. Am I stuck doing just cable work.

Also, can you do dumbbell presses without pain?
At what percent of your 1RM does the pain kick in? Are you pain free with less weight?O─O York Barbell Crew #53 O─O

My goal is to have so much equipment that I don't have room to workout. I am almost there. :)

Come on OP...
1) does it hurt when you cough
2) have you ever measured your ring finger versus your index finger
3) what was the name of your first pet
4)Do you have a significant other and how much do they bench
5) does it hurt you if your place fingers in your ears and exhale as hard as you can
We've got questions here, we need answers this is important!
Either that or see a physical therapist once they reopen

That would have been my question/suggestion too. I don't know how old you are (many show "50" as the default age), but if you're really 50, many 50 and 50+ year olds must find work-arounds. I'm in a favorable season and I have been able to barbell bench (incline only) at the moment, but I have gone more than a year relegated to dumbbell benching only.

1. See a therapist.
2. Check to see if your elbows are too flared when benching.
3. Are you engaging your lats during the press? This puts the shoulders into a better overall position during the exercise.~ Like Tae-Kwon-Leap, my goals are not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.
