Shoulder injury??....plz help
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com I have been training for about 2 years now 4 times a week. I have made very decent gains in that time to the tune of 40lbs from my previous weight. I have never had any issues with pain other than tenderness from working out which is normal.
Well about 6 weeks ago on bench press after I was done my set I got up and had a deep uncomfortable feeling in my shoulder that seemed to run to my bicept. I took it easy for a few days and upon return to the gym it was evident something was wrong.....now its not unbearable ...its uncomfortable. So I left training my shouldersand chest for two weeks......just did some really light weight exercises to get it moving and stretch it out. well now its been somewhat fine again until last night when it started up all over again. The pain runs from my shoulder into my bicept.......I feel like the strength in my left arm has come down quite a bit. And now need a time out again from my regular training. What do you think this could be....and anyone have some advise about healing this up. I really dont wanna be on down time for too long. Thanks in Advance! |

Read this starting at the 4th paragraph, it explains it better than I could. Rotator cuff injuries are very common among weight trainers. The tendons of these muscles are prone to inflammation so ice and anti-inflammatories will help. Try and see a sports doctor or a shoulder specialist. The 4 exercises below directly target each of the four rotator cuff muscles. Use the same weight* and reps for all 4 exercises (you want balance). Start with 15 reps then work up to 25 reps before you raise the weight. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...lRotation.html http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...lRotation.html http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...lRotation.html http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/...eralRaise.html *When I started doing these I could do like 10 lbs in one exercise but only 5 lbs in another. I adjusted to 5 for all. It's NOT about the weight It's about overall balance. I now do these as part of my warmup and never more than 15lbs. |
