Bench press and rotator cuff problems?
Off and on, I've been working for the past three years. One month on four months off. Not really a routine but had little free time and lazy. I started working out hard three months ago. I added bench press to my routine. Flat incline and decline. I would take the bar all the way down to my chest. I thought that was the best form and most productive. However, as I used heavier weight I felt a bad strain in my should/ chest area. At first I thought it was a good pain and meant the muscle was getting bigger. But i think i was actually hurting my rotator cuff. I have made a lot of gains and want to keep going. I would stop for a month and feel better but when i get back on the bench it would hurt again. Is there anyway to avoid rotator cuff pain? I don't want to tear it completely and be out for months. Is a little pain normal? If i strengthen my rotator cuff muscles will this solve my bench problem?

Anatomy Help- Joints?
Any help is greatly appreciated. My book just doesn't cover these questions, unfortunately.
Match the word with the description:
a) Elbow b) Hip c) Knee d) Shoulder
1) rotator cuff muscles are important in stabilizing this joint; capsule reinforced only anteriorly by ligamentsl articular surfaces shallow
2) three joints in one; capsule incomplete anteriorly; has menisci and intracapsular cruciate ligaments.
3) capsule is loose; reinforced by medial and lateral collateral ligamentsl articular surfaces most important in ensuring join stability.... (knee?)
4) Articular surfaces deep and securel capsule heavily reinforced by ligaments and muscle tendons; intracapsular ligamentum teres. Extremely stable joint.
Thanks again everyone.

Shoulder hurt while lifting?
Ok... this happened about 6 months ago, I must have weakened my left shoulder by allowing the bar to reach my nipples when doing bench press, (which hyper extended my shoulder muscles).
I had a sharp pain sometime after a workout and it went away after a day or so. Now the shoulder clicks when i twist it in front of me. When I try to lift involving the shoulder it gives out really early on.
I have a feeling it may be something with the tendons between my bicep and shoulder, but I have no idea. The pain is really at the lower part of the deltoid. Maybe it's a strain on one of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles????
Please do not respond if you don't know what you are talking about. I'm a pre-med student and I have a fairly good understanding of A&P....
Thanks for the help!!!
