Been chatting w/ PH on this topic. I hurt my rotator a few weeks back and flat benching has been painful too the point where I can only come down 3-4 inches above my chest.
This past mon after dismissing advice from many others I continued my chest program and did incline barbell.
To my surprise, I was able to get out 12 reps w/ 225 touching my upper chest on every rep. WTF
This leads me to believe I must have hurt my shoulder while heavy benching. After Inclines I did flat dumbell presses really light w/ the 80's for 12-15 reps which felt fine as well.
My chest is just as sore as it ever has been doing heavy flats. From a BB point of view maybe its time to cut out flat barbell pressing completely.
What you all think?
