Problem with my bench press

Problem with my bench press(Bit of context) So i started going to the gym around a month to 2 months ago, however the first time I went I injured my shoulder on bench a little bit might be because I wasn't used to lifting, the weight wasn't heavy by any means but anyhow that may have contributed to this?.. Since then my bench hasn't increased - honestly recently it feels like it's decreased, and when doing weight the weight doesn't actually FEEL heavy like I could pump out set after set with it and probably move up as my muscles don't actually feel strained but there is one problem, my shoulder locks up and so does my elbow. This is kind of how it looks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbBr1mXgSnY (Not with that reaction at the end though, it's not SUPER painful but I feel like I want to stretch it after) Don't know who's video this is just kind of stumbled across it when I was looking for suggestions, however mine is like this but to an extreme, my elbow also like twists outward towards the ceiling and then locks when I bring the weight down to my chest. It also happens when I incline dumbbell press with only the shoulder, Ill be doing weight and it's going fine then suddenly my shoulder starts shrugging like really close to my head the shoulder like pops up and u can CLEARLY see it, and it's weird because I incline dumbbell 35s and then I can only bench up to like bar + 15s because my shoulder and elbow will just lock. submitted by /u/Gramaru [link] [comments]
