Im doin my chest/tri WO and my joints get sore after like 8 sets or so, and it makes me wanna stop cause it can be almost painful. Anyway to keep goin on my chest without stressing out the shoulder joints anymore or less?

I’ve had this problem and my orthopedic told me that it’s bursitis. The first thing he told me was that you need to decrease the inflammation. He said “If it causes you pain, then don't do it!” He then suggested anti inflammatory medications and a cortisone injection. I decided I didn’t want those, so I did physical therapy for 4 weeks and iced my shoulders 3 times a day and it went away. I also, reduced the weight I was using while doing chest and shoulders, which helped. Now my shoulders are fine, but I still ice them after every chest and shoulder workout. I hope you feel better.

I also ice mine after my WOs. It doesnt really hurt, it just gets very sore. I had cortisone injections and use thera bands to warm up. I am also taking 750MG of cyp a week.

Ice is great and will make a big difference if you use it frequently. Sorry to hear that you had to use cortisone, that stuff sucks all around and isn't good when trying to build muscle. How long far along are you in your cycle of test? If you aren't too far along perhaps you should consider adding Deca, which helps my joints while on it, and it may help yours as well.Originally Posted by Skullsmasher
