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...
