Hey guys, looking for some advice on upper body stuff with possible rotator or SLAP tear?
It's been bothering me for about a year, originally happened when my spotter wouldn't get the bar off me and made me grind out a rep. Left shoulder felt like it dislocated. I've been able to lift and its not getting any worse but also not getting any better. Took a few weeks off to see if it would help and the normal pain/discomfort went away but as soon as i did any pressing it was back to bothering me (popping, grinding, not intense pain but discomfort, hurts when i wake up).
Will probably be another year before I can get an MRI/surgery if its needed. (unless it just completely goes out).
Today tried flat bench, different grips widths. All seemed to feel like it was stretching the shoulder tendon.
Hammer strength incline, didnt really bother it.
Incline Dumbell flys -Didn't bother it until i was bringing dumbells down after set.
Tricep extensions - didn't seem to bother it.
Pretty much been doing same exercise rotation for years. 5/3/1 and a P/P/L routine.
Appreciate help, wanting to winter bulk but kinda questioning it now.
