How come I can do push-ups all day, but if I try to bench press I get a piercing pain in my shoulder (just below my calvicle, I think)?!
Haven’t noticed any other movement where that pain is so strong. I do feel discomfort if I sleep on that side.
On the bench press, you should have your shoulders retracted, your back arched, and elbows tucked in to some degree. Deviating from this form is a common cause of shoulder pain. So if that applies to you, try it out.
I did try to pay attention to those details and… no change. Except for the arched back… maybe I should look into that a little bit more.
Thanks
