^^ Thanks bro.
I was tenatively going to try to go light monday. But it feels no where near 100%. Still aches on the back side of the side delt in one of the most common tear areas. That front part of my delt where the initial pain was is still wierd.
I really dont have a good vibe about it. I wasnt even thinking about what I was doing last night as I was holding myself up like a push up like we all do while getting laid. That didnt help at all.
Going to see an ortho specialist monday morning.

Update: Saw a specialist today. Had xrays ect. She did a bunch of range of motion shit, ect. She says its not a tear. But she said I REALLY aggravated it. Every range of motion test felt fine. With the exception of holding my arm straight out to the side and having her push down while I resist. That was pretty sore. (on that back side of the side delt)
Every since that it has been sore all day again. She said I can return to the gym when I feel ready. I explained to her I plan to go volume and very light with no overhead for a while longer. But ofcourse if theres any pain I will stop. She said to expect some extra soreness in that shoulder while its healing. Also that its a MUST that I go back to doing rotator strength exercises with bands.
I also have bone spurs at the end of each collar bone pointing down. Nothing large but still there.

Bro,
I'm not a MD, but I can tell you my own experience I had with my shoulder. Motion tests are good
when looking for a cuff tear, but not with LABRUMS. I passed all the motion tests and all my xrays came back negative.However,my delt kept throbbing,and was sore all the time, so I made them give me a MRI, sure enough I had a tear in my labrum, you keep complaining about your rear delt hurting that's a leading indicator that there is something wrong with your labrum. My advice to you is tell your ortho to give you a mri for your own peace of mind,and prevent further damage. I'm not trying to discourage you, but delts are touchy,so you have to be real careful. You can train with a torn labrum. However, all you will do is cause more wear and tear on it. I went 3 yrs with a torn labrum, but now it's so bad I have to get surgery Oct 8th, if i don't Doc said eventually I'll need a new joint. Just trying to look out...
Its not aching anymore. I think its just trying to get over me traumatizing my rotator. However, I am not discounting the fact that there could be something actually still wrong other than strain, ect. I am going to go back today and do very light chest. Starting with 20's, ect. Even if it felt great today (which i dont expect) I wouldnt go above 50's.
I'm going to try very light flys also. Just to check the full range of motion. Its not going to be so much a getting back to the gym day. More a lets see where this is at day. I am fully expecting it to hurt. Not in a sore recovering way either. I still have the feeling theres an issue in there somewhere. This is my way to check it out so I can go back to them and say no, theres a problem, MRI it.
Tearing my meniscus in both knees is one thing. Having a totally shredded ACL that I walk around with daily is one thing. But shoulder injuries can change your life.
Believe me when I say, i'm not just taking her advice and going okee dokee, and skipping back to the gym. I know my body extremely well. I'm not sold that its gonna be ok. So I gotta check it out.
At the least I'll do legs today and probably bi/tri. Since I can train those light with alot of volume without moving my shoulder joint.
Ah "Xray" they did that to you did they?
Ask them:
why do you want me to do an Xray when it wont see the damage you need to see based on tissue characteristics?
Any real doc should have you do an MRI
Unfortunately with HMOs its hard to get them to pay that money since they are cheapos
key is to ease in 50% first 2 weeks, then moderate another 2

No, I dont have a HMO. If I push them for a MRI they'll do it. Even if the ortho bawked about it(they have on sight MRI too) I could just go see my primary doc and she would send me in a second.
I went to the gym today. Did chest, tri, bi.
I REALLY wanted to go easy with flat DB press. So I grabbed 20's and did 25 reps. Then flys for 15 reps. Then the same thing with 25's. Then with the 30's I did 15 reps and flys for 6 reps when I stopped cause both my side delts were on fire. My right shoulder actually hurt too(the non aggravated one). Left shoulder felt pretty good but I was just super cautious with it.
That was all I did for chest. I'll work it up gradually from there. It felt pretty good after cool down too.
Being that both shoulders seem to be jacked up in the same way I think its an issue with both sides. Just the left side got pissed first. I seriously need to get my ass doing rotator strengthening exercises.
There were no issues with bi/tri's. Did 15 rep sets, 5 sets for each part.

to elaborate further^^^ , my shoulder feels really good this morning. Better than pre training infact. The "non" injured one actually is more sore than the one I had the issue with.
well.....I've had two very light chest workouts. My shoulder is doing good. My other shoulder however is not doing so hot. Same type of shit. Thats why i'm convinced that my rotators are just pissed and have had it. As opposed to having an isolated tear oor whatever in the left side. The left one just decide to give me an issue before the right. I'm just going to back off for a while and do high rep flys instead of pressing movements. Light machine rows and cable pull downs for back also while I hammer the rotator strengthening exercises and they start to feel better.
Bi's, tri's and legs will go on with heavier weights as usual but higher reps and more volume training as working those body parts has not effected my shoulders in any way.
Just going to drop the calories way down and cut as I have needed to do for a LONG time. Expecting to cut from 275 down to at least 240. Problem is just getting the discipline to get that hour of cardio in 5 days a week. Then an additional hour (2 total) on non lift days.
Going to leave the test for another month or so but at 375wk. I figure why not, its already there. Not gonna shut me down any worse in another month than it has in the last 6 weeks.
