Thread: injuries help!

I have had some problems with pain in the pass and rest, Glutamine, and Vitamin C seemed to help a LOT. But most importantly rest; if you feel your muscles/tendons getting sore just ease up and stop lifting for the day There are some other supplements that help with muscle and joint recovery but I couldnt list them by name...you might want to check out GNC.com or another site that sells supplements. I'm sorry I can't be of more help but your problems sound pretty serious, i'd consult with a physician before continuing any heavy lifting.

well, this may seem obvious, but do not do any lifts that cause pain.

if you have shoulder problems I would avoid over head lifts all together, stick with laterals & upright rows.

for shoulders do rotator cuff exercises to strengthen them.

you might want to try glucosamine/chondroitin as well.

if you continue to have the shoulder disclocating problem this may require surgery, depends how easily it dislocates.

What I did in this situation was lower my weight and go for the higher number of reps. This was administered until the pain was gone and then I went back to the heavy weight. Now I just make sure to include some rotator exercise before doing any type of bench or military lifts with heavy weights. CP.......

not rest! Id sooner shit nails and eat brussel sprouts-well actually no I still wouldnt eat brussel sprouts.
I think Ill take glutamine and vit c. and do rotatar exercises.
thanks guys

To Expand on what Prince said [ about the rotator cuff exercises ] : http://familydoctor.org/265.xml

Read up on this. I've done these for a while and my shoulder has really improved. Also try getting a Healthy-Joint Complex. [ Glutosimine Chondroitin MSM ] Also do the movements shown to warm-up before working your shoulders. Goodluck man.
