Pain in lower deltoid/upper arm while benching

[Septicanon]

Alright so this has been nagging me since Friday and is really getting in the way of my bench. I’m thinking its tendonitis from going up in weight too quickly but honestly I have no idea.

Basically when deracking the weight from the bench and bringing it down, I get a pain in the middle of my upper arm (think were deltoid ends and bi/tris begin). It’s confined to a very specific area; and is on both arms. Getting the weight down during the eccentric phase is the problem- it feels as if this spot in my arms is going to rip open, and like someone is pinning me down in this area. Sometimes the weight just fails and goes directly down to my chest, despite the fact that I can later on pull it up and to the concentric part of the rep with no problem. It feels similar to wrist pain when you bend your wrists at a weird angle. Any advice? Thanks guys.

Bicep tendinitis

Makes complete sense, the underside of my biceps is blue/yellow too. Suggestions? Do I need.to stop training

I had it nasty for awhile, lingered like no other. I used BPC and TB4 and rested it (I did some light stuff). I kept trying to work through it without total rest and it honestly lingered waaaay longer than it had to.

Be careful. It sounds like the pain you’re describing is around the insertion of your pec. If you’re bruising, I suspect slight tearing in either your bicep or pectoral tendon. Go very light for a few weeks, focus on slow, blood filling movements, and do a full 15+ min warmup for your pec/shoulder girdle. I’ve been there already, not worth the permanent damage to lift a few heavy sets.

Man i have delt pain and trap pain from my ac joint, stick to light db incline bench and do plenty of band work warmup before touching any weights

So no going heavy on both pecs and biceps?
