Anyone else fighting a shoulder injury?

[Deterass]

Sucks don't it.

 

[sawastea]

I agree

 

[Becoming]

ACtually mine is pretty jacked right now... didn't back off when I shouldhave.... sux... maybe another week or two and I will be back on track...

 

[SoreArms]

remember always to the front, never behind the neck

 

[Deterass]

I have been using dumbells on the flat bench now instead of a str8 bar.

 

[Optimus B]

i tweaked my shoulder when i first started snowboarding. that sucked royally. hope you heal up soon bro.

 

[canadianhitman]

Icing it down after workouts helps a lot.

 

[Clean]

I have some left shoulder problems sometimes from swimming in high school. When I do tricep pullovers it kind of hurts, and it likes to give out randomly.

 

[KillahBee]

I recently strained a rot cuff and am in the middle of designing a rigorous strengthening program (2-3 months) aimed at increasing my rot cuff's strength and really hitting the surrounding and supporting muscles hard.

 

[Devastation]

rest is the best remedy

 

[onerepmaximum]

I hope I never do.

 

[GEEK2FREAK]

yea the shoulder sucks...dislocated mine last january at about 99% now. Dumbells helped out tremendously (inclines, presses) Strength is way past what it was before then but just alittle pain every now and then.

 

[KillahBee]

rest is the best remedy

in some cases, but, I disagree for the most part. For my situation (strained rot cuff), rest cost me close to 6 months or so of time where I could have been training the muscle and strengthening it, like I should have been.

 

[hamstershaver]

Mine pop when doing laterals.

 

[hardrock]

I have messed up both. Left disclocated by falling off a trampoline drunk and the right I hurt on the last rep of a 5 rep bench. Both are pretty good now.

 

[obiwan9962]

dislocated mine back in college pitching

 

[goldenone]

Dislocated my left shoulder twice. First time in a car wreck and second time on a jet ski.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

I have had shoulder issues in the past, but not in a while. Military press and dumb bells keep my shoulders strong

Know what else is good for shoulders? Pushups, yes pushups work a variety of muscles in the upperbody.

 

[wtlftr]

I have some tendonitus of the shoulder, in the infraspintas.

 

[nsashbl01]

Had right one fixed due to a torn labrum. Left one just fixed last year from impingement. Right ones sore again. Lots of cuff work, and taking it slow. Gained 30lbs since my last surgery. Slow but steady.....

 

[ConstantChange]

I had some discomfort in my shoulders for a few weeks after doing heavy BB press.

 

[wtlftr]

i think band work of the rotator cuff help to prevent and rehab injury.

 

[Clean]

band work is good

 

[cccp]

yeah, I keep having problems with my left shoulder as well. Especially when I do Incline DB press. In the top part of the movement, my shoulder joint sometimes pops-out, causing terrible terrible pain, not to mention that the dumbell immediately falls down on me. Muy peligroso.

 

[Cut]

My shoulders used to click a lot until I started doing a solid Rotator Cuff workout.

 

[hamstershaver]

Dislocated my left shoulder twice. First time in a car wreck and second time on a jet ski.

time for you to stop operating heavy equipment

 

[sawastea]

Has anyone tried Icy Hot?

 

[onerepmaximum]

Once you hurt a shoulder or knee, they might never be the same.

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

I had some discomfort in my shoulders for a few weeks after doing heavy BB press.

does it vary with the angle used?

 

[Deterass]

band work is good

I always warm up with bands

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

I always warm up with bands

i remember those gosh dang therabands from my acl surgery. they are the devil pure and simple

 

[SoreArms]

Has anyone tried Icy Hot?

Dude, I was using some of that stuff on my thigh once and some of it got on my nuts, boy did I cry like a little bitch until it wore off

 

[hamstershaver]

lol

 

[wtlftr]

i once used tiger balm to help with a stuffy nose....didn't work.

 

[goldenone]

Bands and rotator cuff exercises before each workout work for me.

 

[nsashbl01]

I do band work to warm up, but maybe I'll try iceehot. I used to use it when going barefoot waterskiing on really cold mornings. I'll try anythimg....

 

[hardrock]

Once you hurt a shoulder or knee, they might never be the same.

Mine doesn't affect my workouts, but I never go below a 5 rep anymore. My left still gives me a little discomfort when I lay on than arm.

 

[wtlftr]

shoulder hurts now. Have been doing a mixture of bench. heavy, medium light. That represents three days a week. Shoulder hurts now...GD, tomorrow was a light day

 

[cccp]

Dude, I was using some of that stuff on my thigh once and some of it got on my nuts, boy did I cry like a little bitch until it wore off

were your nuts "freshly shaved"?

 

[canadianhitman]

I just can't win. Today, while training shoulders, my right shoulder felt great. But...wouldn't you know it, my left elbow started hurting.

 

[hamstershaver]

were your nuts "freshly shaved"?

wait!!!!!!! dont answer that

 

[Cut]

I bench PL style. My chest may suffer, but I know my rotators don't.

 

[sawastea]

wait!!!!!!! dont answer that

Agreed

 

[Optimus B]

I just can't win. Today, while training shoulders, my right shoulder felt great. But...wouldn't you know it, my left elbow started hurting.

my right elbow's been flaring up lately; it fucking sucks!

 

[hardrock]

I need to get rid of this fuckin tendonitis in my forearms.

 

[Clean]

I put yohimburn on my nuts once, on accident.

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

I put yohimburn on my nuts once, on accident.

ouch

 

[SoreArms]

lately I've been having pain on my fore arm (not I'm not jacking off too much)

any one experience with fore arm troubles

 

[goldenone]

Anyone have elbow pain?

Certain exercises seem to irritate mine more than others.

 

[Cut]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

 

[canadianhitman]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

I think that's nerly impossible...unless you train really light.

 

[Optimus B]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

nope

 

[sawastea]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

me

 

[Deterass]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

I wish!

 

[juiceddreadlocks]

im glad kristen kreuk can massage my shoulders for me

 

[goldenone]

im glad kristen kreuk can massage my shoulders for me

lol

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

filthy nut huggers

 

[hardrock]

I'll take some deep tissue on my forearms right now please.

 

[goldenone]

My elbows are starting to hurt again...time to break out the elbow sleeves.

 

[sawastea]

I wonder if Barry Bonds will still use that arm protector this year

 

[Deterass]

I wonder if Barry Bonds will still use that arm protector this year

As long as he keeps hittinem deep.

 

[hamstershaver]

Barry will always wear that

 

[SoreArms]

I wonder if Barry Bonds will still use that arm protector this year

Fuck steroids Barry, that where he hides the stash

 

[hardrock]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

Maybe my first 3. Seem to get some type of injury about once a year ever since.

 

[wtlftr]

used to get injured all the time on an off season. Now, with only OTC supplementation I think injuries will be less.

 

[vertigo]

anyone been injury free after lifting for > 3 years?

nope

 

[obiwan9962]

As long as he keeps hittinem deep.

 

[sawastea]

I think Ben-Gay must be one of the best supplements EVER for relieve

 

[hamstershaver]

Ive never used that stuff before, probably the only person here that hasnt.

 

[Optimus B]

I think Ben-Gay must be one of the best supplements EVER for relieve

deep cold is good too

 

[Deterass]

My shit is popping today after yesterday's workout.

 

[bran987]

do you think it's from benching with your arms wide?
I just recently started keeping my elbows close to my sides

 

[Cut]

I flat bench with elbows in too.

 

[Barak]

Going in to talk to the surgeon tomorrow, torn ligaments don't heal well. see what happens

 

[goldenone]

Going in to talk to the surgeon tomorrow, torn ligaments don't heal well. see what happens

Ouch! Hope everything goes well.

 

[hamstershaver]

ive torn wrist ligaments before that hurts like hell

 

[sawastea]

This may sound kind of crazy, but has anyone twisted/sprained a wrist doing the 5 knuckle shuffle?

 

[vertigo]

This may sound kind of crazy, but has anyone twisted/sprained a wrist doing the 5 knuckle shuffle?

once

 

[Deterass]

This may sound kind of crazy, but has anyone twisted/sprained a wrist doing the 5 knuckle shuffle?

nope

 

[canadianhitman]

Remember when Barry made that off-season comment about not putting up with guys throwing at him this year? I bet that when Barry charges the mound this year, some headhunting pitcher is going to get that elbow/forearm protector thingy right in the face.

 

[Cut]

This may sound kind of crazy, but has anyone twisted/sprained a wrist doing the 5 knuckle shuffle?

all the time.

 

[SoreArms]

Seriously, my forearm keeps bothering me, specially when I stretch my lats (by holding on to a bar and stretching sideways). Any one have forearm trouble before?

 

[wtlftr]

shoulder feels better, but now my neck hurts from sleeping on it wrong. WTF

 

[cccp]

I need to get rid of this fuckin tendonitis in my forearms.

i used to get that nasty shit, but once I switched to dumbells for curls, it went away

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

pushups are underrated

 

[Devastation]

my left calf keeps cramping up. i think i pulled something

 

[goldenone]

Elbows are still bothering me!!!!

 

[bran987]

pushups are underrated

totally agree. I do them at the end of every chest workout immediately after my last set, with my feet up on the bench. and if I'm every on vacation/away from the gym for some reason, I have whoever is around push down as hard as they can on my shoulders while I do as many pushups as possible.

Just as sore as ever afterwards!

 

[sawastea]

Elbows are still bothering me!!!!

why?

 

[hamstershaver]

my fingers are hurting from too much mouse clicking

 

[Deterass]

pushups are underrated

Tru dat

 

[SoreArms]

pushups are underrated

I also think that stretching between sets is underrated.

don't see many people doing it at the gym

 

[canadianhitman]

My elbow is hurting...limiting me to three plates per side on the HammerStrength shoulder press, and had to skip doing flat bench this week too. Tricep workout consisted of nothing but cable movements.


Yes, I am bitter.

 

[hardrock]

i used to get that nasty shit, but once I switched to dumbells for curls, it went away

Mine is from doing hammer curls with dumbells. Once this shit is gone I will never do hammer curls again.

 

[sawastea]

I also think that stretching between sets is underrated.

don't see many people doing it at the gym

Yeah, no one in my gym stretches either, kinda weird

 

[bran987]

Yeah, no one in my gym stretches either, kinda weird

ever since I learned it actually increases strength I've been all 'bout it.

 

[Clean]

I love to stretch before and during workouts.

 

[sawastea]

Hey guys, I'm in CT today. Just woke up. Had a night of binge drinking in SONO and my freaking head is pounding. Any suggestions? Sorry this is the wrong board

 

[bran987]

BC Headache Powder and lay back down! Works million times better than any pill

Gatorade also

 

[sawastea]

Hope everyone had a good easter
