maybe your traps are over developed and over activating when doing your lifts?
if u do a lot of shrugs besides rows and deadlifts just let them go, traps are getting a lot of work indirectly.
over developed traps can also cause a shoulder impingement in the long run.

t. guy who got shoulder impingement cuz of over developed traps and chest

>>39428269
i bet you did upright rows

>>39428218
its probably due to mix grip back imbalance or shit posture all day

>sitting behind a desk with your left elbow up, right hand down on the mouse
all god damned day

>>39428218
Try greater lat activation and a wider grip. I forget what are some lat activation queues. I think 'bending the bar towards your feet' is one

If that doesnt work just do partials for a bit because im pretty sure the lock out full rom part of the bench is whats making your shit shrug.

For rows maybe a flatter back angle and elbows more to the side to lessen the affect of the trap shrug

I meant elbows more out* on rows too

OP here. I do have strong traps from doing a shitton of diddlys, farmers walks, and rows, besides having a manual job

>>39428401
I think that hit the nail. Aside from not sitting in a shitty position, are there any particular stretches that could help?

Here's some ass as a token of my gratitude

Oh and driving hard with your feet down and out into the ground on bench is always a good idea. Just gotta experiment with foot placement.

I use pretty close grips too. I'm gonna try widening it a bit. I usually do both pendlay and 30-ish degree rows, and make sure I'm always parallel to the floor. I don't think back angle makes much of a difference.

*Make sure I'm parallel during pendlays

the guy with the impingement, never touched upright rows

>>39428269
Strong traps don't cause impingement.
Internal rotation and anterior glumeral glide do.
