pain

[dies]

I have done a few cycles but this isnt about steroids its about shoulder pain while bench pressing.

I experience pain in the front of my shoulder only while performing flat or decline bench. It is accompanied by popping. Oddly enough i dont get pain while doing incline or military and i can seemingly do all rotator cuff exercises fine...

Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it??

I had poor form on the bench press for years and would get shoulder pain anytime I got up to heavy weights. I finally found a book that help me overcome my shoulder-dominant bench form and it hasn't come back since.

May not be your problem though.

I have that problem when I over wrk the bench. I also have that problem when my grip is to wide. I like a wide grip cause i feel my chest more. However, i know when I have a closer grip it seems to get better.
BTW, DB presses kill my dam shoulders and u prob have some cuff issues

No flat back on the bench arch and pull your shoulder blades together do it do it...

elbows tight, press straight, no arc

Did you do something to your shoulder before you started lifting ? Maybe its an old injury bug that's coming back.
