Training around shoulder injury

[jimm]

Right so basically iv injured my left rotator cuff first injury iv every had in 3 years training im fucking pissed!!

i went to physio today and got a few "exercises" to do but im pissed, in a way its a blessing iv beeen hitting legs hard and back


but she told me not to train back because when my lats come into play im doing something to the rotaor cuff so bacially i cant train nothing but legs for a while :'( how u guys cope with this shit!

is there any exercises to help speed up the recovery process? maybe some shoulder exercises with REALLY light weights the pressing movement i dont get pain its side or front lat raise i get pain..


bro's.... the fuck

You can go light if it doesn't cause any you pain, if it hurts, don't fuck with it

start training your rotator cuffs when you recover, roll on golf balls to break up scare tissue, and work those small supporting mucles.

when you go back to training chest, do:

-dumbbell floor press
-barbell floor press
-decline barbell on a very slight decline without coming more than halfway down, or decline DB

never lockout your elbows

you will see increased chest growth, and you won't injure your shoulders

what were u doing when u hurt it?

reason i ask is last week i had something go in my shoulder, working back that day, no indication at the gym but once i got home i got a nasty burn in the shoulder, 4 days without sleep, script of oxycon later and its more or less went away,
damn it hurt like hell and 24/7, ive always had a high pain threshold but this was beyond what i could take

worst thing is cause i dont know how i hurt it i dont know what to be careful with dammit

i really wish i knew in my job i use that shoulder 90% of the time compared with the right so im guessing some RSI in the aswell but when ever i was doing front or side lat raises id always get a popping like tweaking sensation just ignored it as it never cause me pain could of been alot of things i was on a tren cycle few months back and was stacking some chest press fitness machine at 140kgs repping it then seperate day i tried and failed to standing military press 100kg (nearly got it lol) could be not warming up as i never used to stretch or anything i really wish i knew i persoanlly think it has something to do with the nature of my job i use that shoulder all day compared with the right one.

btw i never belive them fitness machines i could never rep 315 on bb bench like i was on that machine

take 2 weeks off training chest and shoulders, you can do back but without stretching all the way, without sudden moves or jerking the weight, avoid standing biceps curls, you can do one arm preacher curls, you can do triceps pull downs if you keep your elbows in and perfect form.workout slowly with light weight you will have a good pump and great results, your movements must be controlled and slow.
what you can do to help your shoulder after 2 weeks, you can do one arm cable press downs (with arm straight) (light weight), front and lateral, these tend to work your back and lats but they also work your rotator cuff and shoulders without hurting them.
but be careful it all depends on the extent of your injury which could range from a minor irritation or inflamation of the tendon or the ligament (which is very common) to a partial or complete tear (which is not frequent)

if its really bad take the time to go to therapy and get ultrasounds done to see if there is scare tissue, I am getting this done right now in my chest. I had massive amounts of scare tissue around both my bicep tendons in my armpit.

 

[jimm]

i dont think its that bad it feels a lil better already but now way am i ready to start beatin the shit outa it on the bench just yet its just the side lat movement i feel like i could shoulder press with no problem but side lat no way!!


and this is just my bro science but when and if i decide to train back and arms if its not hurting the joint it cant be doing any damage?? right or wrong?

Always warm up the rotator cuff, you'll feel better.
