A Hidden Cause of Bench Press Shoulder Injuries

A Hidden Cause of Bench Press Shoulder Injuries

A hidden cause of bench press shoulder injuries is actually a weakness of the long head of the biceps.


The long head of the biceps is stressed more when the elbow joint is behind the upper body as they are when doing incline curls.


If you have strengthened your rotator cuff and external rotators, and have addressed muscle adhesions etc, but still experience some pain in the bench press, then you should check your numbers on incline curls and see if your weights match the norms for your bench.



I hope this quick tip helps.

Results That Stick


Results That Stick

Mani came in with a shoulder injury the other week so I did a few things for him to help relieve some of the pain and gain some range of motion. Now it didn't "fix" his shoulder completely as he still has pain now but it did allow him to do some better rehab and just get around better in day to day activities.

The best part about it for me is how well the gains made stuck. A lot of treatment I have had in the past has felt good for a short period but feels like I go back to where I was a day later or sometimes even just by the time I have driven home. 

Working with so many rugby league players and jiu-jitsu athletes has given me a lot of exposure to shoulder injuries, how to help relieve some pain, and how to prevent them. We refer on to a good team who takes this further so we can always get you back to competition a lot quicker.
