I kind of fucked up my shoulder last night at the gym. I went to go do my first exercise which was a dumb first exercise to do (behind the head press), but I did it at a light weight and on a machine. It kind of felt painful but I finished my set, then I started moving my arm around and my shoulder didn't feel right. It's hard to put that arm above my head. I was still able to do lateral and front raises and a rear delt exercise then I did a light leg workout and finished with a few rotator cup exercises. I just hope it's not really fucked up. I'm going to the gym right now to hit some arms so we'll see
 
I quit doing those I use the press machine and lie on my stomach to get that behind the head motion but its controlled and no rotor cup pain

Was able to workout pretty good today it's only day two and I'm already starting to feel a little better I hope I just kinked it a little
 
I broke my arm a few years back just underneath the shoulder and ever since ive had shoulder issues...ive found that nomatter what time restraints i have that day warming up the shoulders is the best way to prevent further damage......once it hurts though try and go light on it till your good to go again....best advice i can give....it sucks to have an injury hold u back in the gym

Ya that's what I've been doing now, if I'm working shoulders in any way I do a few rotator cup exercises first. It's almost 100% but I'm still taking it light on anything that involves shoulders. Shoot I went super light on chest the other day with a lot of reps and sets and super light weight and I got pretty sore haha I like mixing it up like that. That's the last thing I want tho, is to have a permanent injury I've already put to much time and money into this sport to not be able to go 100% at the gym it would be such a let down
 
Have you thought about trying that bhp 157 peptide Ive been wanting too experiment on my wife with it she has this nagging knee problem messing up her leg training

No I've never heard of it. I'll have to check it out I have a nagging knee too but it doesn't effect my leg workouts
 
They act like it works miricals or something IDK but for 40 bucks for 5 mg bottle I figure its worth a shot Ill let you know if it does anything for her or just more overhyped crap

That's too bad. It's because you used a machine and machines just aren't like natural movements. When you get healed, try some strict barbell OHP. If you do them correctly you are much less likely to get injured. Just stay away from the machines.
 
Sucks with my 2 bad shoulders, 135 on bench is hurting these days, really pissing me off... Hope you heal up well...

Try warm up with pendulum exercises after full body warm up. Then just train smart listen to your body . No reason you can't train machines - in fact machines can help training through injury . 40 years daily martial arts ,32 years BB I've tortured my body but all time off was planned . Don't let anyone say you can't ?

Ya I've been doing a lot of machine work lately lol. I'm scared to get hurt. I've already put to much time energy and money into this

Do you know what pendulum exercise is? In Rehab and PT the circular dumbbell patterns for rotator cuff . Do those after warm up , to loosen up prior to every upper body . I Tore mine 7 years ago , between pendulum and or some of my Filipino knife exercises ( which basically same ) I not only healed but my shoulders are strong as hell . At 51 I added almost 100 pounds to the bar doing presses ( of course AAS too) . My spine my elbows my hips all healed with special moves. Sort of around training the little support muscles . I did go to school for it, but mostly decades of martial art training / bodybuilding training and injury - I train around injuries using machines ,but when healed use free weights - I don't use wraps but train the littlest muscles to support the weights . You get used to have pain doing curls but direct forearm work cured and allow me to hold heavy barbells without fatigue . Every body part can be supported by specific exercise
 
ketsugo, what are the warm ups your talking about, I have only been lifting a little over a year. I have added some gear and practice Tangsoodo for 20 years, 3rd Dan fixing to test for Master. I have developed tendinitis from overwork on the bench. Staying low weight for now and not sure its going to heal, thanks for any input. If I need to start a thread I will, didn't mean to jump this thread. I am 48 so the benching is the worst to me for heavy weight.
