You all take into account that I'm an old fart ok, also that for over 20+ years I never really had an injury thankfully.
So for the old injury. About 1.5 years ago I was warming up for a couple good sets of incline barbell bench. I'm at 185, everything feels good, shoulders feel good, good stretch\contraction, I'm in the groove. Thinking that it's going to be a productive few sets coming up. Anyway....185 tenth rep, gonna rack it anyway, thankfully my buddy was getting into position to spot my first real set anyway. BANG, my right shoulder pops, the pain is immediate, he sees it and racks the bar for me.
That entire day I was actually afraid this was an injury that would limit my exercise rotation perminantly. But I swear in two days I had full function of the shoulder and was pain free. Now I stayed away from anything that directly involved the shoulder for some time. But within 2 months I was comfortable going back to dumbbell inclines, as well as the usual assortment of shoulder and trap movements. But I have yet to do another set of barbell inclines since.
The question is what did I do, how did it seemingly heal so quickly, and can I get back to heavy incline bb bench?
New injury. Yesterday doing barbell shrugs. BANG felt something in my right forearm, inner\mid\top area, move and immediately burn and hurt like hell. Rested the bar on the pins and waited for swelling to start. It never did swell or bruise. Ached the rest of day. I dropped the weight to 225 took off the wrist wraps and just tried to do a light set of shrugs. Nope it hurt.
Today it feels fine.
I just am not accustom to injuries, never have researched them and wondered what you all thought about these two.
