  2. Great video-
    But I would also recommend anyone with shoulder pain to get X-rays and any other needed screening to see what is going on.
    I had a huge bone spur that was cutting into the joint. Nothing would have ever gotten better without getting rid of that bone spur.

  3. I know this video is two years old, but man. Thanks for advice Jeff, i had bilateral shoulder tendonitis and it prevented me from working out. Now that I saw this video due to having right shoulder pain, I'm going to follow your advice! Thanks Jeff

  4. This has been a problem for me because I broke one of my collar bone way back in high school and it doesn't help with my stability at all. But I'm going to try this tip. Thanks!

  5. Does using a stability ball instead of a rigid bench help with this problem? Should I go back to using a bench?
    Note: I use only lighter dumb bells (15-20 lbs.) have no shoulder pain, but have been extending my arm at the top of the press without any discomfort. Also, I have had two rotator cuff tears (one on each shoulder) but have recovered (one had surgery the other not) and both shoulders seems to be good at the present. Thanks, Dan (73 yrs)

  6. Amazing I have been suffering from two frozen shoulders one for 5 years and the other only recently injured. But I tried the slow down technique and it’s amazing actually works and no pain in both shoulders!
    Gives me plenty of hope to continue chest workouts with no pain!
    Cheers

  7. Keeping my shoulder locked against the bench is almost impossible for me after 30 years of thrusting my shoulders foreward. So keeping my shoulders back throughout the press is the only mind exercise I can do right now.

  8. Alright, so what if I have pain while doing this? Been lifting like this for 3 months or so since my shoulder first started acting up. Every type of chest press and chest fly causes pain in what feels like my ac joint and when its bad bad I feel on the back side of my ac joint up into my trap.

  9. Your absolutely right. I tried contracting my traps and build a solid base and I have no discomfort anymore. Now I did this before but even after doing it so long, sometimes we loose proper form by being tired or going into heavier weight. Thank you!

  10. Jeff, I have an issue. Well, A LOT of issues actually… Consequences of past mistakes… Anyway, my main issues regarding the bench press are 2: a winged scapula which I got some 30 years ago when in a fight and an AC joint separation (skating accident). Should I be looking into different chest exercises? Ive been lifting for 20+ years. And I HATE chest day. Ive hated it for the past 20 years… Id really apprexiate a recommendation if possible….
