Last Monday, I completed my bench workout with no shoulder pain at all. At the end of the workout, I threw in some bodyweight dips (extremely light for me), and felt a slight pain in my shoulder, but nothing that would normally cause alarm. Later that evening, I felt a sharper pain across the top of my shoulder when making certain movements. I can row without a problem, but since then, I have been unable to do any pressing moves with any amount of weight. Today I tried benching 135 (really light) and did 6 reps, but there was some pain in my shoulder so I decided to call it quits. The pain seems to radiate from next to my neck out toward the top part of my shoulder joint. I have absolutely no limitations in motion, though I can't do any pressing motions. I'm praying this is not a rotator cuff injury as I know they can take forever to heal. I was just about to start cutting, and I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of size off my chest if I can't even bench. Any thoughts?
