MRI Results: small undersurface tears of the supraspinatus.
supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendinosis
(and some extra stuff about the humoral head because I happen to have dislocated it more times than id like to remember)
I didn't really mention it, I do keep my shoulders pinched in and my lats contracted consciously when I bench… I also push my arms out at the top of the rep. I thought that was necessary for a full range of motion, so I do tend to let the lats loosen at the top to allow that extra push range. Its hard to describe but I'll give it a shot, I kind of push my arms forward in the socket and round my back so that I am reaching literally as far as I can with my back on the bench. When I get back at it I'll try keeping the lats contracted through the full movement. Seems to be the general consensus for solving the problem.
I about 1.5 weeks off at this point. Still hurts a bit when I poke the shoulder but its getting better. Im guessing 2-3 full weeks without using the shoulders and the tendonosis will be down so I can bench pain free again.
PS. ITT are what sound like some serious medical problems… Do you not have access to health care?
