Drop the weight down and get your form down then slowly jack it up as possible without breaking form.

Why people refuse to focus on form and contraction is beyond me, instead they go for as mush as they can and practically use every other muscle trying to get the weight up besides their chest.

Awesome good advice, I though I was breaking form but noticed I was staying pretty good till the last few reps when tired out. Maybe I over worked them on monday when i did shoulders, and didn't notice till today when I did chest. Next friday when I hit my chest I will do less same as shoulder day.. Thanx. I'll let ya know how that went next week.

If your shoulders hurt from bench press, you're doing something wrong. Keep doing it and you'll get distal clavicle osteolysis, which I'm dealing with now. It sucks.

when doing the flat bench try to pinch your shoulder blades together and keep your elbows in a little. It takes some of the pressure off your clavicle

I dont think I was tryin to lift too much. I also have a very physically demanding trade. Lifting and slugging all day. so maybe I did something there. Who knows but I will reduce weight and see if that helps.

Then, you are training with the wrong angles/exercises for your body structure! Let me guess, you are focusing on the flat bench press and incline presses at a 30 degree angle???
