I think I hurt myself.

**Maraxus** · 02-16-2005, 06:35 AM

Last night I was working on Shoulders and I was in my 3rd set of Shoulder Presses and on the 13th rep I felt a slight stingr, It was only 315lbs. I am used to much more

I thought nothing of it then hit the "heavy" set and moved on to Lateral Raises with 85lbs and on the 18th rep of my warm up set i had to drop the weight and head out because my shoulder was throbbing and I couldnt lift my arm up. So today im heading to a therapist/accupuncturist and see what they can do. Any ideas on what it possibly can be? Im pretty nervous about it.

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 06:37 AM

haha

right?

**GetinBig** · 02-16-2005, 06:39 AM

Where in your shoulder bro.. Mine does it some times. I think it is my Rotator cuff..

But it don't do it all of the time.. When you do presses how far do you come down?? I only go down until my arms are at 90Âº. That works the best for me..

Like bdtr said Ya right....315 hmmmmmm

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 06:40 AM

You're joking right?

85 lb lat raises for 18 reps. etc..

**Blown_SC** · 02-16-2005, 06:41 AM

"You're good, you."

**Maraxus** · 02-16-2005, 06:42 AM

haha nothing, it is actually killing me, ive been downing perc's all morning

I went down a little below 90 Im starting to think its my cuff.

**GetinBig** · 02-16-2005, 06:46 AM

Yeah bro I would prolly bet money on it..

I was doing Military Presses one day with 225 and this older guy was bitching at me saying that I am going to need cuff surgery one day because I do it wrong.. I was only going to 90Âº. He goes lower and he has the scars. What a dip shÃ¬t. I told him to shut the hell up and go do something.. I have talked to many people about it and anything below 90Âº is not good..

Let me know what the doc says..

He is a big boy.

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 07:00 AM

I just wanna see 18 rep strict lat raises with 85 lbers. I can move 85 lbers but not for those reps with any good form. I didn't know he was a big guy..

**GetinBig** · 02-16-2005, 07:01 AM

Just makin him feel better....

**jc3** · 02-16-2005, 07:04 AM

Man I have tore both cuffs. Left one twice. If that's the case you are gonna be messed for a bit and probably never back 100%. I hope you didn't. Good luck and get well man. When I tore mine I couldn't even push my arm towards the ceiling with an old nurse holding it. I used to work for a beverage distribution company....way to much overhead repetitive motion.

**Maraxus** · 02-16-2005, 07:07 AM

I have nothing to prove, why would I lie?

**needmorestrength** · 02-16-2005, 07:14 AM

Whats 85lbs in Kgs?. I don't think it'll be that much.

its only 38.6364 kilos. I dont know what the big deal is guys...

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 07:18 AM

about 38kg i believe. That's just a lot for 18 reps is all, if they're real side raises and not swinging dumbells into the air.

My form is strict and precise, no jerking and no nudges.

***the original jason*** · 02-16-2005, 07:20 AM

you must be in ronnies league then thats pretty high weights i must say and if your form is good then even more impressive, whats your stats?

peace

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 07:22 AM

Well then im impressed, i can MP 405 for a double and cant get 18 reps with 85 lb dumbells on lat raises, then again I don't incorperate them into my workout.

Thanks, has anyone tried accupuncture? or deep tissue?

**BDTR** · 02-16-2005, 07:25 AM

Deep tissue has helped me a bit, but i think its overrated. Never done accupuncture though.

**BOUNCER** · 02-16-2005, 07:27 AM

I use 30Kg DB's for lateral raises but only in the 10-12 rep range, but then I've genetically good shoulders.

Back to the topic;

Have you tried cortisone shots in the shot yet, or is this just a new injury?. I've done the cortisone and found them brilliant.

I never have. Ill ask my doc later today. I cant even lift my arm above my head.

**G-Force** · 02-16-2005, 07:30 AM

i use 20kg (45lbs) for lat raises
and i am pretty proud of that

u guys are just in another league

**Pale Horse** · 02-16-2005, 07:32 AM

I have genetically superior shoulder and I do 175lb lat raises @ 20 reps

**SonGoku** · 02-16-2005, 07:33 AM

Shoulder damage is very common. I had a problem with my shoulders for over 2 years. Tried all different kinds of things but nothing helped. I would give it some rest for a time. It's not worth risking being unable to train properly for a long period if all it takes is a coupel of weeks of resting. Maybe you could focus on your legs in that period. Definately avoid exercises that provoke the pain. There are a lot of threads about shoulder injuries in the forum try to do a little research. Glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin are said to be good for sore joints. You can buy over the counter pills that contain all 3 substances. Personally deca helped a little bit for me too. But since it's a newly aquired injury I would definately give it some rest.

Marax try icing it and massaging it. My dad goes for accupuncture and loves it....But a Cortisone shot should really be a last resort....They arent good for you...Iv had two in my back and one in the knuckle of my finger....They also hurt like a bastard!

**needmorestrength** · 02-16-2005, 07:36 AM

I have tried deep tissue and acupuncute. They both help.. Deep tissue and ART are awsome for smaller joints like elbows shoulders etc!! I had to take 4 months off even with deep tissue but it helps

I use Gluco samine and msm regularly. I think a combination of rest and therapy will heal it back up.

**Pale Horse** · 02-16-2005, 07:40 AM

**palme** · 02-16-2005, 07:41 AM

Suck me sideways!

Give the shoulders alittle break.
