I decided to post this here since I’ve seen a lot of good advice given by the “seasoned” crowd and wanted to know if anyone has had a similar problem and what if anything can be done w/o medical intervention.
Recently my Bench Press has been regressing despite my Squat and Deadlift going up and now I’m positive that my problem must be coming from something wrong with my shoulders, my right shoulder in particular. I thought I had a shoulder impingement (and may) and after a 2 weeks off lifting from being sick but still doing Pre/Rehab work for it felt like it was pretty much gone.
However, whatever it is came back with a vengeance in my right shoulder after my first bench day after being sick. Again after this it seemed to be subsiding and then after my last ME Squat day it came back even worse.
I’m feeling is a slight pain at the middle tip of my right shoulder (left is similar if I move it certain ways but otherwise no problems there). The real pain radiated down my triceps through my forearm (where it’s actually the worst sort of tingly like when you hit your funny bone) and to the tips of my first two fingers which actually feel a little numb/tingly.
Usually when I workout the pain goes away only to come back later in the day especially when I lay on my back to sleep getting even worse overnight to the point that if I wake up in the night it hurts so bad it’s hard to go back to sleep. However, today I could actually feel it when I was doing Incline BB Press (I’ve been avoiding most inclines and wide grip press trying not to aggravate it).
I’m also now sure it’s what’s causing the decrease in my Pressing movements. For example today I stalled on the right side pushing up only 155 on the BB Incline Press and had to really grind it out (about 4 seconds) to finish the lift. On the Triceps extensions my left arm was moving like a piston while my right arm was wobbly and my elbow kept flaring out.
I have a line on a sports medicine doctor recommended by a coworker who’s been completive bodybuilding for years so I’m probably going to check him out. However, before doing that I just wanted to see if anyone here has had a similar problem and could recommend anything short of seeing the doc.
