Shoulder hurts during/after BP

My shoulder is fucked from BP, can't even think about doing flat anymore. I just scheduled an MRI in fact...

Yeah, that's about where I am. Made a world of difference. Took about a month to get pain free.

About three years ago i went from the common body building press with wide elbows to a correct powerlifting form. It killed my press weight, but it has saved a bad shoulder from getting worse. My press is finally coming along too.

You may find that you have some pain in your rotator cuff and it is coming through the front delt. Give this video a watch:

Id say your trainer is an idiot and you should find a new one. You can not bench 4 days a week, or anything else other than cardio 4 days a week. You must let the muscle recover or you're wasting your time.
