Odd Shoulder pain - BB Bench

[sauerbrauten]

WHich part is exactly the rotatoror cuff you hear so much about. What part of delt rear front side? trap area?

 

[the nature boy]

"The rotator cuff is comprised of the muscles and tendons that surround the top of the upper arm bone (humerus) and hold it in the shoulder joint. A tear may result suddenly from a single traumatic event or develop gradually because of repetitive overhead activities. "

One of the risk factors is heavy lifting.

I had to cut and paste this since it sounded better than what I was gonna write.

Thanks for the replies! I'm going to all I know to do to help heal this up, however, I'd still like to know what the problem is and/or what caused it. Anyone else?

try asking this on the training board. you might get more responses.

I had the exact same thing. You probably have an AC seperation. It took me a long time to figure out, when I had it. It is when the ligaments that attatch your scapula to your clavicle ,stretch or tear. There are three types, and even the worst very rarely needs surgery. I couldn't bench for almost a year, although other exercises were Ok. If possible go see a physio, they can give you some exercises to help you out. I cannot even tell I was ever injured, it's been 2 years

Rj- If you don't mind, what exercises were you using to help remedy your problem?

Like I said, I think I've caught this in the early stages where the pain is very minimal, but it effects my flat benching ability tremendously because I'm not willing to 'lift thru the pain.'

I'd rather get it healed before I make it worse! I can always leave out flat bench for a while and stick to inclines, meanwhile I can do a few shoulder rehab exercises...
