Bench Press causing Gaglion Cysts

[Heavyweightmover]

This is my third time getting a ganglion cyst on my wrist from benching. Its just a large nonpainful lump on top of my hand/wrist, if you google image search you can get an idea. I’ve had it drained once and another time strangely went away after doing a handstand. It doesn’t affect my bench so should I keep pushing? Only the visual presence of it bothers me, this is the largest one I’ve had so far. I’ve been getting back in shape after a year long back injury so I’m benching 275 lbs 5x5 right now, not a crazy amount to damage wrists. Anybody else deal with these ugly lumps?

I get one on the underside of my right wrist. Has came and gone plenty of times over the past ten years, but’s it’s present about 25% of the time. Gets to be about the size of a pea.

Honestly I rarely even notice it anymore. Just checked and it’s still there. Never knew it had anything to do with lifting and no one has ever noticed it but me.

Mine popped up flexing my wrist back and forth one day. I suggest you to continue to get it drained and deal with the look of it over getting it removed.
