Hey, I would be very happy if anyone could give me info. about my shoulders/rotator cuff. I was doing the behind the neck press last year and after 4 weeks of agony I stopped, but what I realized later was that every time I benched more than 70 pounds my shoulders would start to hurt and I actually used to be able to do 110 pounds. Does anyone know any good ortopaadeic surgeon(sorry for the spelling). I would also be very happy if anyone could share their experience. Thanks a lot

Have you had any investigations done on your shoulder to confirm the diagnosis?
It could be coming from a muscle imbalance, meaning you may be stronger in your major muscle groups, however not as strong in your scapular stability.
I wouldn't go diving straight in for surgery. Maybe try a conservative approach first off. Like going to see a qualified physiotherapist who specialises in sports injuries?

hmm press behind neck! I thought that exercise was outlawed years ago! Tight muscles in the shoulder causing poor flexility so you stretched back anyway and then added 110lbs? I guess you also felt pain in the front of your shoulder when doing flat bench right? Lucy is correct with the muscle imbalance theory and you need expert advice from a sports physio. The treatment will be very painfull but you might be able to avoid surgery yet! always warm up the shoulders thoroughly before any upper body free weights exercise and remember that the small muscles are working just as hard with your shoulder stability while the larger ones are actively moving the weight
