Shoulder Pain While Pressing? It May Be Your Bicep Tendon - Stretches and Exercises for Tendonitis - Exercise At HomeExercise At Home (2024)

I've dealt with this for years off and on (like my working out in general), and never been able to figure out what it is. Always assumed it was rotator cuff, so that's what I tried to stretch and work on. Found this video after dealing with this again for the past couple weeks. Your tip about turning my hand face down and lifting vs face up and lifting clinched it! Great video! Hopefully I can now work on getting this fixed.

I’ve haven’t slept well in a week from waking up in pain from this. I finally came across someone else that said to massage it and man, that is instant relief!! I was asleep for the rest of the night with about 30 secs of rubbing. Did the same thing the next night. You definitely seem to be on the right track so I’m anxious to check out more of your channel!

@alexanderbromley Seems like one of those occlusion training straps would work pretty well for that last movement. Thoughts?

Thanks Coach Alex, I did these before my workout and major difference in my shoulders. I still had discomfort but more function. I imagine that if I keep up with this routine my shoulder / bicep health will get better. Thanks! Also, with the band wrap around the upper bicep head is clutch. I add some mobility movements with it and wow 💯🙏🏽

Hey man really need your help! I have a similar problem currently. Does the pain also happen when you take both of your hands and push them together? Thank!

@tillmannoneya6941 says:

Yea mine was bothering me for months. Finally got a cortisone shot, n feels way better. But now the right side is starting to hurt, all the way from wrist all the way up to shoulder. On other shoulder you could feel the tendon popping in and out of groove cause it was so inflamed.

After I partially tore my short bicep when I returned to heavy Viking press I felt a lot of pinching in my bicep. I stopped that type of pressing for at least 2 months now. I think I will try it again this week

@DrRussell says:

This is fantastic! I have ruined my left bicep by ignoring my pain and it has destroyed my bench as a result. I'm praying these drills will work: I think they will. I'll report back for any other readers.

This video helped me out a lot, i had a labrum repair a coupe years ago due to a repeat dislocation from climbing. I recently started lifting and quickly aggravated it, i thought it was just the way it was but it got so sore that even doing triceps extensions and curls my shoulder would light up in intense pain. I never considered it could be bicep tendonitis in the shoulder but after seeing this video it makes complete sense, arthroscopic shoulder surgery leaves you super susceptible to it as well apparently.

@hong-enlin4651 says:

this happened to me, I got operated on for labrum tear but they opened me up and found my bicep inflamed and beet red. The rest of the shoulder joints actually looked relatively fine despite what was showing up in the CT scan.

@willem2506 says:

Been trying to fix what I believe to be this exact problem for months. I use versions of these stretches that I picked up over the years but i can tell that these ones are going to be so much more effective. Learn from the pros 👍

@justjoshin707 says:

I have a similar problem but its with the short head of my bicep not the long head.. Nobody seems to talk about that..

@juandelapaz7515 says:

I gotta say I’ve been looking for lots of exercises for months on YouTube for this exact problem, and after doing the lateral distraction technique and the barbell stretch: I felt instant relief! I will definitely be doing this at least 3x per week. Thanks for putting in all the work and research for finding these effective exercises. I really appreciate it! 😁

I have these exact symptoms excpet mind hurts bad at the front or my elbow/forearm

Came here after a hard arm wrestling practice looking for help

@altricoche487 says:

I did some slight brusing to the out side of my bicep,

@MrSoggyjocks says:

Did myself an injury doing cable chest flies. It had been causing some minor discomfort doing the movement, but i just pressed through like a moron. Now when i bench i get pain in the front portion of my shoulder. I think i had my arms too straight on the flies. Having straight arms under tension like that puts more strain on the bicep than you might think, thats why gymnasts have huge arms without doing curls. And i had only just gotten over tendonitis in my forearms as well haha. Starting weight training after a long time off and in my mid forties… something was always gonna break

@folumb says:

ok, enough videos have recommended these same stretches, but how long should I be doing this until I can bench pain free again? The last 2 weeks I've had serious pain benching. I thought I was just sore from last chest day but this is different from any chest soreness I've had before and worse with every heavy barbell and dumb bell bench press session. I can't lift anywhere near the same weight and I don't get sore, I straight up get sharp pain almost deep to the anterior deltoid which I truly think is my biceps tendon insertion (almost radiates down to the top of the biceps muscle just under the lip of the anterior delt). This morning I just had to stop my workout because I felt I was going to permanently injure myself doing weighted dips.
