Shoulder hurts when benching the 1st set, but goes away?

[Swagg Pitt]

What's good fitness gurus. I need your wisdom

When I bench press, I warm up with 10 reps of 135, and then I do my 5x5 shyt of 215.

The problem is during my warm up set and my 1st 5x5 set, my shoulder hurts. But after I finish those 2 sets, the rest of my sets is straight. The pain goes away and I bench like normal. It's only on my left shoulder too.

What's up with that shyt?

Sounds like you didnt stretch

 

[Kal El]

as mentioned, stretch... and try doing 5 minutes on the treadmill with a light run before lifting to get that blood pumping through your body

Watch that, could end up with a rotator cuff injury - you need to work on that to improve your bench. Read this article:

Just a quick question, have you ever injured your left shoulder in the past? Maybe you hurt it and the pain lasted for a couple of days, but not bad enough where you had to go to a hospital.

You may not be warming up enough. And because you have an old injury, the pain exists even at low-weight resistance even though can do double the weight or more later on. I have the same issue. You may want to try and warm up with 115 lbs x 10 reps or 10 slow push-ups. Then, go to 135 lbs. x 10 reps on the second set. You don't "have" to warm-up with 135s.

Specifically do SCAPULA pushups before bench...does a great job loosening the should

Dynamic stretch before, never static stretch before lifting weight.

You are also not warming up enough brah, either dynamic stretch with an empty bar for 15-20 reps or do push ups, then put 135 on the bar for 8-10, then 155 for 5, 185 for 3, then jump into your 5x5 for 215. You can even do the dynamic warm up, then 135x10, 185x1, 205x1, 210x1, then 215x5x5. Whatever floats your boat.

It could also mean there are other problems like muscle imbalance (weak upper back/rear delts) which leads to posture issues (example: over developed pecs pulling shoulders forward) so you can do more rear delt flies, face pulls, rows and pull ups.

Stretching?

We run right from the lockers to the bench and scream "rack em!" Well at least I do.
