Pectoralis minor
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 7:21 am
Any tips/suggestions for rehabbing a recurring pectoralis minor tweak?
I've tweaked my left pectoralis minor about 3 times the past year. Each time, I've deloaded my bench press significantly and restarted an LP. Each time, I work my way only partially back and suffer another tweak. The first occurred during a set of 250x5 BP. The last just occurred at only 215x5. I'm definitely backtracking.
I'd initially thought it was due to a weakness, but I'm wondering if it's maybe a lack of mobility in that pectoralis minor. This http://exclusive.multibriefs.com/conten ... healthcare seems sum me up pretty good. (Slumped shoulders, etc. Lying on my back, my acromion process is about 3 inches off the ground on that side)
One other data point, before I got back into lifting, I had some pain in that shoulder. Reaching overhead, jumping up to catch a ball, hanging, etc. When I started lifting again, I was doing barbell rows instead of cleans, and my shoulder was noticeably better. Once I switched cleans back in, that was when my shoulder started to bother me again. (Although that was also when my BP got heavier).
I'm thinking of adding Pendlay rows back in...
