Common mistakes
- Poor form during bench press
- Excessive overhead lifting
- Skipping warm-ups
Why injuries happen
The shoulder is highly mobile but less stable. Improper loading places stress on the rotator cuff and labrum.
Prevention
- Learn correct technique from trained professionals
- Strengthen supporting muscles
- Avoid ego lifting
- Include mobility drills
Training smart is more important than training heavy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Most shoulder injuries in the gym come from technique rather than load. Poor bench-press form, excessive overhead lifting and skipped warm-ups are the main culprits. Learn the pattern, strengthen the supporting muscles and leave ego lifting out of the session.
