Armpit pain

[jnyce7]

What does it mean when your armpit area hurts when you do flat/incline bench and the like? Dumbells don't hurt, it's only barbell. Any ideas?

You'll have to purchase a pair of new armpits....

If the dumbbells dont hurt I would do them anyways. They usually produce better results. If you are a beginner, EVRYTHING seems to hurt when you first start. Get strong on the dumbbells and then give the barbell a shot again. My $.02

if the pain is along the upper inside of the upper arm and in the pit area then it is Pectorus major tendonitis.

You are either over training or going too deep in the dip or doing presses to high up on the chest...too much stretch and stain on the tendon.

This tendon can easily be injected with the non anabolic steroid decadron... to reduce inflamation....go to a sports MD
