Shoulder Pain...Again!
So this shoulder pain of mine has affected my bench press. I was able to do 2 reps with 295lbs a couple of weeks ago, but this week I couldn't even get a single rep. Not good.
My solution to deal this this shoulder problem:
- Thorough shoulder warm up before training
- Ibuprofen before training
- Face pulls twice a week for my rotator cuff
- I'm also tinkering with the idea of substituting dips and/or incline dumbbell bench press instead of barbell bench press during recovery days.
We'll see how it goes...

Notes
- Sharp shoulder pain in both shoulders. Began feeling it ever since I woke up. Couldn't even drive the bar up for the bench press. Next time take ibuprofen before training.
- Felt some strange sensation on my lower right abdomen during squats, which was amplified during the bench press attempt. Skipped deadlifts just in case it was a hernia or something serious.
