Shoulder Problem

WildFiend · 10-18-2007, 02:03 AM

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I didnt really see a good place to put an injury thread in...

Well a few years ago 5-6 I dislocated my shoulder and shortly after I seperated the other. Since then certain motions and activities would cause some problems for my shoulders.... swinging a baseball bat, (not so much anymore, mostly the year after it happened) and I wakeboard a lot and would usually strain it or pop it out real quick if I took a fall and held on tot he rope to long. I know once you have an injury like this tendons and ligaments are stretched out and makes it easier for it the happen in the future. Well I never really had a big problem until Sunday I was doing Bench and on my last set I hear a grind a pop in my shoulder, just like that it was popped out agian, I got up and threw it back into place, finished my workout but just did everything light and shortened it up, I took the past 3 days off just to let it heal back and went to the doctor monday just to make sure when I replaced it myself i didnt pinch anything or cause more damage. Everything looked ok. My questino is that this never happened while lifting before and I am alittle worried now that it might happen again on bench military and I could get really hurt if my spotter isnt quick enough. Is there anyway that I could take something or do certain therapy movements to help strengthen and tighten this joint back up again. Or something I can concentrate on while lifting that will help prevent it from dislocating. Thanks for any input

Work on shoulder health. What does your program look like?

First piece of advice, if your shoulder comes out of the socket during a workout, stop your workout right then and there.

Second, back off on the pressing and back squatting/good mornings until your shoulder feels good again.

Third, make sure your program is balanced, you get plenty of upper body pulling movements, and you do some work for the muscles involved in dynamic control of your humerus and scapula (Scapular stabilizers and rotator cuff).

what do you recommend for shoulder health witchblade

cowpimp, the thing is that it has happened so many times in the past that i get no pain from it, you say back off of pressing and back squatting/goodmornings until shoulder feels good but it feels fine even 10 mins after it happens, my program is very balanced I would say I have equal pulling and pushing movements... what kind of work can I do to strengthen the rotator cuff, flex band work where I hold my elbow to my side and at an 90 degree angle and rotate force toward my body and rotate force away, anything else

That's good, the internal and external rotation. Also do searches for serratus or scap pushups. That will strengthen the serratus anterior, which is important for controlling the scapula. YTWLs and YTAs are also great. I would do a Google search for those as well. It's a series of shoulder articulations meant to strengthen the lower trapezius and other scapular stabilizers to also help control the should blade. Some rotator cuff work is also involved with these.

Make sure with the external rotations (Rotating away) you do some adducted (Arm tucked at your side) and abducted (Upper arm held at 90 degrees to the body).

CP answered your question. For more information, you could search for a thread called 'IM Official FAQ' and look for the question about internal rotation of the humeri.
