This is an injury that manifested 2 yrs ago while benching heavy. It went away with increased rest and stopped going heavy. The injury has re-emerged as of recently while doing BB bench and DMB bench... if I raise my arm I can feel it, pain and inflammed. When I bench I seem to feel it most at the top of the movement when Im trying to really squeez my pecs. When I limit my ROM it seems to feel better.
I know that when lifting improperly during bench press we can affect areas in the shoulder negatively. But this pain is occuring in my back. I did my back workout this morn and all was good. Only hurts when I bench press. I have no prob doing dips tho (thank god). So Im wondering if you guy have any insight/wisdom about what Im describing. Essentially its painful enough to really limit my bench press to very very light weight.
Also I was doing bench on the smith yesterday when I got the pain.
