Preventing Shoulder Injuries During Bench Press

Are you experiencing aches and pains after bench pressing? The shoulder joint is complex and needs proper care to prevent injuries. At Prescription Fitness, we focus on “prehab” to keep your shoulders healthy before injuries occur.

Here are some tips to prevent bench pressing injuries:

• Proper form is crucial. Ensure you are using proper form while bench pressing to avoid injuries. Use lighter weight if you must for keeping form.
• Warm-up before your workout. Take at least two to three sets to get your connective tissue warm before you start your exercise.
• Don’t overdevelop your chest. Ensure you have a complete workout program that focuses on all muscles to avoid muscle imbalance and prevent injuries.

At Prescription Fitness, we can create a personalized program for you to improve your workouts and prevent injuries. Don’t let injuries hold you back from reaching your fitness goals. Visit our website at prescription-fitness.com and get started on your fitness journey today!
