Shoulder pain

Need advice for reducing the risk of shoulder injury. It seems that every time I get to 205 on the bench, I develop some little injury in my shoulder. About a month and a half ago it was the back part of my shoulder, now I have a little tweak in the front.

Start with 50 broomstick dislocates working hands closer and closer as you can and 50 band pull aparts every day

My shoulder got tweaked one time and that was enough for me. Now I do resisted external rotations every time before Chest Day and haven't had any issues since.

Are you keeping your elbows in when you bench?

Some will scoff at this but I use the slingshot device for benching. I’m 72 and always get a slightly irritated right shoulder after benches or dumbbells. Since using the slingshot I find my form is better (helps with elbow position) and my right shoulder makes it through to the next day.

Stop benching

Probably not keeping great form with the elbows

I had all kinds of pains before I started lifting regularly. Shoulders, knees, elbow…. I seem to have less issues now that I’ve been lifting regularly.
That said I’m 40+ and I’ll stop any lift at the slightest pain, not worth it to me. I’ll give it a couple days and try again.

I’m over 50 so constantly battling pains and strains…and the shoulder is the last one that hasn’t been corrected through training.
I do a lot of warm up for shoulders before workout. On bench I had to drop weight and totally redo my form. I was very front delt dominant so focused on chest up and forward, elbows at around 45, lift the weight with squeezing chest/triceps and don’t fully lock out. Getting the mind muscle connection rather than just moving the weight was very helpful. Also, play with an empty bar and get the most comfortable grip width for above.
