How does one bench in my situation, guys? When I let the bar go down enough to touch my chest, I feel pain in my shoulder. Then it hurts all day.
What do I do? Fuck, I need this exercise.
Can't bench

Stretch?
Physio?
Himalayan jug boxing?

Get an MRI. You might have a torn labrum or rotator cuff.

>Doing this thing specifically hurts, what do?
Stop going to full depth, retard. Do cable flyes for depth in the mean time.

I do stretch and actually enjoy facepulls, but it seems to do nothing for the problem.
Incline bench does the same shit man.

Why do you need bench?
Stop doing it for a few weeks
Justin Edwards
D-does it even count if I don't touch my chest with a barbell?

Firstly, is your form correct? Retracted scapula and a sensible grip?
How is your resting posture? If you see more than one knuckle facing straight in a mirror you have internally rotated shoulders.
Hands down best cure for most shoulder problems is the shoulder dislocate with a stick or broom handle. Mark each time you do it and work your way narrower each time. It should improve quickly.
In the meantime, do something else like dips or weighted pressups as long as they dont give you pain.

Tendinitis. I had this and had to stop lifting for 2 weeks.
Also I took Collagen. After that I started again slowly and it sorted itself out.
Don't keep pressing if there's pain. Stop and go do some legs and core while you rest your shoulders and arms.
Brandon Wilson
It's one of the best exercises, why.
Thanks, I will try it. I stopped doing dips, because they feel even worse.

I’ve got the same issue, but mine’s arthritis in the ac joint. It just startd happening last year
Hudson Evans
Yes. Any time I experience chest pain/discomfort I stop one-to inches above my chest. My arms still break parallel. When the discomfort stops, I have no problem hitting full depth with whatever weight I'm at.
Fuck, if you took a retarded power-lifter tier arch and made him bench like a normal human, he'd be stopping six inches short. You'll be fine.

Dont mean to scare you but you have cancer in the shoulder
If the pain goes on for more than 7 hours, its too late.
Trust me

Stop benching
Nathan Cooper
This, I had a torn labrum. Go to the doctor OP
Nathan Foster
Floor press. AFTER LETTING THE PAIN SUBSIDE FOR A WEEK.
Anthony Diaz
desu how did you fix it? I have a torn labrum and Im scared of surgery. I was thinking about getting PRP first.
Zachary Young
No. That doesn't count as a full rep, retard.
Benjamin Long
Have you tried benching with dumbbells instead?
Dominic Lewis
It's not about getting a full rep. It's about letting yourself recover from a minor strain before it becomes a major one.
You compensate for the slight reduction in ROM by doing flyes, which typically allow better depth anyway so that once you recover, you can go back to doing bar-to-chest (the correct form) without worrying about stalling at the bottom.

My rotator cuff was hurting so I took time off gym, it took three weeks until the pain was gone. A few weeks later and it started hurting again, this was a week ago.
I watched this video from Athlean X. youtube.com
I'm a beginner but apparently you should have a correct form so there's enough room in the shoulder socket for muscles to move in, so there won't be any pain.
