That sucks bro!!! I hope you're ok. As an aging gent my flexibility has become so limited I can only use dumbbells especially on shoulders. In fact I use cables for shoulder presses. I feel ya. Be well and see a doc.
Thanks dude. I’m hoping it’s minor.

Thanks guys, now I have the shoulder to match the knee. I’m running out of areas to focus on that aren’t broken! Seriously though, I’m gonna heal up and attack the bench and go back after squats again. I appreciate everyone’s responses.

A good rule of thumb...if it seems like a bad idea it probably is......

I hope for a minor tear & you heal up quickly.

I know my shoulder is ****ed. If i reach into my back seat the wrong way it dislocates. Thing is im not ready to do anything about it. Example being on short term for 6 months. Just not in the cards. So my point. An mri or specialist just to tell me what i already know that my shoulder need surgery and im gonna be out of work and the gym. Neither of which in ready for right now.

S30W i'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. I tore all the ligaments in my shoulder and have been unable to lift any upper body weights for 9 months..... Good rule of thumb never do anything behind your head. Pull downs, presses etc, puts a lot of extra pressure on the shoulders and just from an anatomy standpoint much easier to tear something. Now you just need to heal which is the hardest part, DO NOTHING. If you make it worse like I did your recovery will be that much longer. I may even have to have a second surgery which will be another 9 months of no lifting. Just speaking from experience, things can now get much worse faster than they will better. You will be ok, Ill follow thread.


Side note on the pain meds when i had surgery my pain was so bad I HAD to take 3-4 oxy a day otherwise I could not function due to the pain. If you need it you need it. No shame in taking it. Too much pain can raise blood pressure, increase muscle tension, fatigue etc., decreased protein synthesis which leads to decreased healing.

Thanks for your reply man. Interesting thought on the pain/blood pressure relation. My BP is quite a bit elevated since the injury. Like 169/90. It’s usually far lower. Even on cycle. I can feel it, face is warm, I feel my heart beat. Today the pain is the worst so far and my arm is incredibly stiff. It’s falling out of socket more too. But then, my wife really pissed me off yesterday and I spent the day working on the house. So I tried to use it as much as I could and I’m paying for it now.

Well i have to focus really hard on proper technique when doing any kinda overhead press. Dumbell flies are out of the question but i can use a machine. And my bench i havent been able to push myself past 315 without fearing it giving out.
