Bench Press, Biomechanics and Shoulder Injuries | Tim Keeley | Physio REHAB

#benchpress #chestpress #shoulders

The Bench Press is a great way to develop the chest (Pectorals) but sometimes it can be at the expense of the shoulder. If you are one of those people that is doing bench press and getting pain in the front / top of your shoulder, it could be an A/C joint or bicep tendon injury. Here's the low down on WHY you maybe getting these injuries, due to simple BIOMECHANICS of your shoulder vs the bench press set up and movement, as well as shear forces and overall load.

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a video telling you to stop you bench pressing, its injury advice awareness for those who are having problems or issues, with some alternatives to pressing to unload the shoulder whilst they seek professional advice on the injury and how to recover.

I know this is a tricky topic so comments welcome and I'll see if I can get to answer all your questions. (but watch the full video first as many answers might be in there for you!
