When I pick up a bar with weights…say i’m going to curl or set up a deadlift, i often feel a short, sharp pain in one tiny area on the left side of my back up near my shoulder. It’s only there for a second, and it’s nothing too bad…I just don’t really know what it is, and I was kind of curious.
Also, when I bench press, the back part of my right shoulder occasionally hurts…this pain is a little bit worse than the aforementioned pain, and it lasts longer. It’s not really sharp…more like I’m using my shoulder…but I’m under the impression that that’s probably not desirable.
Well, I know the first one is not right, although I’m not too worried about it because it doesn’t hurt that bad.
The second one isn’t a bad pain, it’s an “exertion” pain, but the problem is that it’s only one side and I thought shoulders weren’t supposed to be used a lot if any in bench press.
I’ve had the problem with the right shoulder while benching too. I narrowed it down to the position i take while sleeping. Always sleeping on my side was responsible for it. I dunno if that might be a problem with u as well
I have added to my warm up some easy seated rows, face pulls, scap work, rotator work and it has done me wonders. I do these before all of my workouts like prehab. I think it just gets some of the stabilizers ready to go and firing.
