Ice and heat, Ice and heat. I would take a week or 2 off. Be sure its 100% and then come back. I dont think you should be stretching at all. If you want to go and do all of that go to a doctor and start some physical therapy or something, leave that to the professionals.

You probably got a point. I just wish it would go away I'll avoid the stretching this week and see how i feel.

Yeah I wouldnt try and do ANYTHING to strenous. Theres no reason to.Give it a week or 2 to get better then ease yourself back into it. I used to have a slight pull in my shoulder for a while and it went away for good then the other shoulder decided it wanted to go to shit (maybe for compensating for the bad shoulder from before), so I figure it does nothing but hurt you in the long run if you dont stop and realize shoulders are very fragile and have to be super carefull with them. Matters fact most people dont even bench correctly, you may want to look into that....

I'm assuming your talking about not flaring the elbows and not using a wide grip? I really think mine is snatch or t bar rowing related.

Well no. I am talking about the direction in which you push the bar up. You ought to lower the bar right above your upper abs and below your nipples and then push directly up, using your triceps and chest and alot less of your shoulders. By letting the bar go over your upper chest or over your face whenever your around lockout it very hard on your shoulders. Not to mention it shuldbe easier to push the bar straight up from your upper abs/lower chest and keep it in a straight line up. Compared to doing something like most people do. Did I lose you? I have read this several times off of the westside barbell site.

And you are pushing directly up, and not bringing the bar at a resting position over your chin or so? Because the bar should stay in a straight up postion. Almost like it is on a smith machine.

Alrighty, well it is probably something else. Shoulder press has done me in a time or 2 also. But if you are doing t-bar rows with alot of jerking and things like that it could also mess with your shoulders to.

Nice workouts.

Your shoulder injury could likely be from the snatches like you mentioned. That is a really complex movement like P-Funk has said. I tried some with the bar, and I don't really have it down, I don't want to mess with it, not unless I have a coach. I might cool it with that, you want to be safe. Another idea could be an overuse problem from your 2 a day workouts. Just be careful, keep on icing it too and take some ibuprofin. I would think you could still keep with the pulling movements for now if they don't bother your shoulder. There have been some times in the past where I have to take a week off or so from upper body pushing stuff, or all together. I'm reminded of func's sig, "accept the fact that you must take 1 step back to take 2 steps forward", or something like that.

Fufu I agree with almost all you said. Ibuprofin is fine as long as you are not intended on lifting with it. Dont do anything if taking some kind of pain med simply because it can hide something that is there. And then you go on like nothing is wrong, just to find out that the med was hiding the pain and you went through it and cause greater damage. While I am sure Fu isnt talking about taking a pain med while lifting I want you to be aware.

Right right, I agree with you on the masking the pain. That will only solve the symptom, not the underlying problem, you'd probably end up in worse shape after using a painkiller or something of that nature to workout.

I don't intend to use any pain killers it isn't that bad. I could(not that i would) train threw it. The most pain is felt when i do a front raise. All i know is i wont ever do t bar rows again. I think i might have torn my rotator cuff or at least pulled it. I'm off to ice it like you guys said and i will take a bot bath later today with some magnesium salt. Hot cold shower at the end. Taking glucosamine and chondrotin.
