Everything hurts

Hi I’m having pain when I lift heavy weights.  Never used to have this.

When i do bench press, i get a searing pain in my left shoulder, the back of the arm.  Even at weights that are easy.  no pain any other time there.

When i do split squats, i get some knee pain as well.

Then elbow pain when i do pull-ups

Sounds like everything hurts – might be a great opportunity to try something else for a while.

If you’ve dropped the weight right, right, right down and so can’t even do a bench press etc with no weight then go for a run, a swim or bike.

Or you’ve got to really improve your flexibility and form.

I’d go for the latter.
