        Needing some help, I have lost all power when I try to strict press. Is this bicep tendonitis or possibl3 nerve issue in the neck. I have a dull numb ache around the scapula a# well. I’m not in a lot of pain, mor3 frustrated.

        Thanks
        Kev

          Kev,
          When did the dull numb ache around the scapula start?
          What caused this? An injury, change in position somewhere throughout the day? Or??
          Have you seen improvements with anything you have done to address this?
          Since it began is it better, same, worse?

          Do you have plans to get this checked out?

              Are you working above and below of where you are seeing the issue?
              Have you completed The Ready State Assessments?

                  As in she is dropping the barbell onto her back? C7 or C8 nerve root could be getting compromised by the forces or tension. Look upstream at some neck, upper back, trap mobilizations as well.
