A suggestion!
The shoulder starts to act up when I bench press heavy. I've had my right shoulder (r.cuff) fixed a few years ago and I think the left one is heading down that same road if I'm not careful. About a month ago I did 315x5 reps and I was sore for about a week, so thats when I decided to rest it somewhat. As long as I don't go over 225lbs, I seem to be ok. I've adjusted my grip too, going fairly narrow now. I'm a big fan of Cissus and it's helped a ton, but the shoulder is what it is, so I need to becareful and not overwork it. Also, adding extra fish oil to my diet has been beneficial too.
Well actually I have 2 suggestions...first, if you are lifting heavy like that...definitely look into getting a cissus supplement. It truly makes a huge difference. I'll be honest...even at my age of 24...if I did not have the cissus as a staple I would not be able to lift as hard and heavy as I do...in particular, I have issues that still bother me from a devastating left knee injury I incurred during my high school football playing days (the injury ended my high school athletic career)...instead of explaining it in depth I'll just say it wasn't pretty...I was on crutches for 6 months. Anyway, up until about a year and a half ago I was not able to do real heavy squats or deadlifts. Well I got tired of feeling weak so I looked for something that might help me out. I came across cissus and well needless to say it worked.
Osteobolin-C is what got me hooked. I ran a log for AN way back when they first hit the market and ran IGF-2, the Original NeoVar, and Osteobolin-C. AN took care of me and boy was I happy because the knee pains I use to have subsided quite a bit using that stack, but Osteobolin-C was the main culprit for helping my knee pain. Furthermore, after having such great results from Osteo-C I even put my mother on it...she's noticed a considerable difference as well...its kept here from having to face total reconstructive knee surgery. Beyond that, obviously I would suggest you give Osteobolin-C a shot, but some others I have tried that worked pretty well to are Nutraplanet bulk Cissus (a good price for how much you get), Primaforce's Cissus, and USPLABS Super Cissus RX. Definitely take a look into a cissus product as I think it would be very beneficial for you bud.
Now as for my other suggestion...this is something I recommend to a lot of guys because it is something I noticed that gets overlooked quite a bit. Try adding in some light isolated rotator cuff exercises into your workout regimen if you don't already (I'm guessing you might already, since you had problems with one of your rotator cuffs already)...it will help strengthen your rotator cuffs and loosen them up so you can do heavier bench presses more freely and not have to deal with ridiculous pain afterwards. When I started to add in rotator cuff work specifically, it was what really helped me finally press up 400lbs on the bench, well along with also taking DRIVE/IGF-2/RPM....lol.
Anyway, just sharing some thoughts to see if I can help ya out anyway possible bud. Take care.
