I have two weird lifting problems that are bothering me…
-
My shoulder hurts much more when I bench rather than I do standing barbell military press or seated db military press. I have little pain when I do the standing BB military press, and no pain when I do the seated db military press.

I did standing military press today, only 170 for 6 while struggling with terrible form. I can do a lot more weight with seated db military press. I did 90’s(which obviously is 180 total) for three sets of 8 after I did the standing military press. If I’m fresh, I can probably do 110’s for 6-8. How does this make sense that I can do more weight with dumbbells over barbells?
Because seated oh pressing is much easier than standing. Standing test your core strength to a large degree and seated does not.

HA-HA!! I do that too!
Your shoulder hurts because it’s unhealthy. 3x12 shoulder dislocations, 3 times a day, every day. And maybe other rotator cuff work if you give a shit.
You’re stronger sitting down because standing involves stabilization.
i had a sinulat problem and foubd that shoulder sislocates worked well, as well as some lax ball work
It may take more than dislocates and they may even aggravate the issue like they did with me. You’re going to have to do some research to figure out what’s wrong and how to fix it.
There are some members here who have dealt with shoulder issues (me included).
Where does it hurt?
Are there other lifts that aggravate it?
What have you done and what are doing to make it better?
Bench will more likely aggravate my shoulder than shoulder press too, but it’s hard to give advice with so little info.
It hurts my right front delt. It always hurts like a mother and I feel like it extremely hinders my performance. Some of the pain goes slightly into the pec it self.
Pretty much bench is the only thing that hurts it. So does incline bench.
I’ve gotten a few deep tissue massages, with emphasis on my entire shoulder. I do rotator cuff work ever upper body workout, with SOME static stretching. Lately I’ve been trying Defranco’s Upperbody warm up.
Maybe door stretches will help? My issues are related to the rear shoulder so maybe someone else can chime in.
How’s your set up when benching? Keeping me upper back extremely tight has helped my shoulder tremendously. I’ve done a lot of facepulls, band pull aparts, etc but they only helped my stay tight not alleviate the pain.
