Bench Press Injuries

[pickle bunny]

How many of you have damaged your rotator cuff, pec or tendons due to bench pressing. (Bar only)

Many many cuff injuries from benching..... Extensive shoulder warm ups have kept me injury free for a few years now. I copy Branch Warren's warm up.

I blew my pec tendon off the bone in 2000.
Surgery-- the whole shabangeebang.
Took forever to heal. Never benched again. It pulls on the screws.

Had a torn rotator cuff injury from football/motocross for 7+years.. it finallt felt like it was healed(i actually heard it tear/sounded like a rubberband pop. still til this day i've never heard anything like it)Finally had insurance and wanted to get it fixed/Dr. doubted it was torn/retard. He went in fixed it. 4 weeks post surgery i slipped on some ice and fell right on it, hard as fuck too. Now its been over a year and I have a bad inpingement/bone spur cause of the fall/worse than the small tear before. Oh well, Im used to it being jacked up
