I'm not new to lifting weights I just had took a break for a few days.. so after my
Few day break I benched and the next day I felt very sore but only in one arm which is my left (I broke it in September) so anyways I'm only 14 so I only bench 115-125 my dad helped me do 135 and I felt very sore and 135 is a max for me but that's not all I did.. I did 95 four times just to warm up then did 115 twice (which is very weird because I can usually do it 6 times by myself) so then my
Dad helped me do 135 and I went to my
Garage today to bench again and I put on 95 to warm up I did it one time but only because I found myself very very sore in my left arm so I stopped and went inside.. Any suggestions/ tips for me and I'm only 14 by the way and not new to benching
 
Where exactly in your shoulder does it hurt? Actually if you want a program to rehab your shoulder you should try Yipfit.com. It will assess your shoulder and build you a workout and rehab program, it helped my shoulder a lot.
Depending on where it hurts, you should consider trying a narrower grip as it will put less train on the shoulder.
 
It is sort of my shoulder but it is like the higher area of my left arm and shoulder. I may take it into consideration to make my grip closer because I don't do the "thumb trick" I just put my pinky on the lines or loops and start so I may narrow my grip up a bit. Also I want to run tonight but I'm not sure if I should and I have off season tomorrow which means were going to our weight room tomorrow.. Please help! And thanks!
 
Sounds like a supraspinatus impingement or problem with the long head of the bicep. Honestly, yipfit.com is your best chance, I know it has rehab programs in there for that type of problem. I have seen them in the condition specific rehab section on the site.
 
I would like to suggest you to limit your activities until you recover. Try to eliminate or reduce lifting and over head reaching until the symptoms decline. Avoid over-the-head grabs, reaching over the chest, lifting with arms out stretched, sleeping directly on the shoulder and leaning on the elbows. You may consider some of my other tips also:

• Only lift objects with your arms held close to the body

• Only lift lighter weights and not overhead

• Do you swim? Try it. Do breaststroke or sidestroke when swimming.

• If the pain continues or there is any swelling in the injured tendons you should consult a doctor.

With rest, change in posture, stretching and exercises, the symptoms often improve or go away in many people that have mild problems. However, this may take weeks or months to occur.
