Alright, I'm sick of ignoring it. My right shoulder is aching to lift it now after a workout. All my presses suffer from it. Benches especially, and I can feel it during military presses as well. Now, I think I just had a rotator cuff problem for awhile, because I remember being in 7th grade and doing some type of wrestling drills in gym (a class thing, it was stupid) and rolled forward as we were supposed to, but landed on my right shoulder wrong. I'm assuming it's that.
Anyway, my bench is also a bit uneven, so when I lie down it makes the left side a bit higher than the right (probably putting unnecessary strain on my right shoulder). It's nothing big. The right side hits the bar (with which I adjust the settings, decline, flat or incline) while the left doesn't come in contact. It's about half an inch away.
So...what do I do? I can feel my lifts suffering. I can't progress very far past certain numbers and I'm beginning to think this is why. For awhile I was doing okay without doing anything about it, but now it's becoming more prominent, something which would probably be dangerous to try and work through.
Who do I go to? 'cuz I don't trust doctors at all. Sports coach at my school? Some special...place?
