Injured Shoulder :(

That feel when you're doing charity work and you feel a small tear inside your shoulder pushing something from overhead

Shit sucks, hopefully it will be better by Monday, if not I'll ask one of the doctors at work to give me a cortisone shot and train anyway, ho ho ho

Moral of the story: Don't do charity work, it kills your gains
 
32 hour update:

Feeling a bit better now. Got some topical cream called "heat" that I've been applying throughout the day, seems to be working. Loosened it all up earlier in the day, there was a few cracks and clicks but it did the trick. Will be able to bench tomorrow no problem as the pain has almost gone now
 
Decided that I'm going to OHP today instead of bench. I'm repping out the last set of presses fairly easy but bench press feels heavier. The range of motion for pressing also isn't giving me pain but off the chest in bench hurts a little. I'll be benching on Thursday instead. Squats are on Friday so I should be fine gripping the bar by then also. Not going to do dips for a few months because that would be fucking stupid, so I'll be doing more tricep work as opposed to shoulder work that I normally do. Will probably opt for decline db presses as assistance today
 
No dips for now is a good idea you should be able to bring them back sooner though. Make.sure you aren't going past 90 degrees as that is when the injuries happen.
 
I don't see the point in doing dips unless it's with a full ROM tbh. Strength work in OHP went well today. I'm confident that I will have a fast recovery. Thanks for your consistent help Dave - here is a picture of my cat, also called Dave:

Nice nasty looking eyes. The same look I would give you if you took a photo of me without asking and then plastered it on a public forum.

I heard heat works well. Is it "deep heat"? I used that on my inner thigh once and it worked wonders.
Click to expand...

something like that yeah. Main ingredient is methyl salicylate. I like topical creams, we use them a lot in cycling... works just as good as IV imo
 
Didn't really know where else to put this but maybe it's worth doing this for mobility work/injury prevention.

except Javorek (the coach) suggests 3sets of it, 3 times a week. Is that going overboard?

Hopefully nothing serious, but always take the shoulders seriously. We go way back me and my shoulders. I've done sublaxations, tendinitus, bursitis cuff stress you name it. I always warm up with rot cuff exerises, and am cautious about full ROM on heavy dips. Can really put some stress on the anterior part of your shoulder.
