Injured my pec/shoulder

[Mr I]

thanks dna, I saw my chiro/physio today who gave the whole shoulder pec area a really hard massage yikes it was deep. It looks like its where the front delt meets the bicep tendon and pectoral insertion point, and luckily its not too bad. I have full range of motion and it seems like more of a fray than a proper full tear.

I'll wont do shoulders this week now and I'll see how the week turns out, hopefully next week I can start bach with 15 rep sets with slow soft form on chest and shoulders and see how it goes.

Thanks bro, I'm really depressed about it, just had my late meal and walked around a bit, its in the shoulder where the front meets the arm pit. The thing is I haven't flat benced in ages, last week I started and I should have rested more in between, my shoulders were tight and I only did chest tonight because my lower back is still tight after deadlifting on saturday, I shoulda been doing legs.

Hopefully its not too bad tommorrow, its definitely only a small tear at most. I'll just focus on other things for now. I should have spent more time getting used to the movement but I did 170kg last week and thought well I did that so I'll do 180kg this week

I should have listened to my body

I had the same injury (i think) a year back. My doctor said its an inflammed frontal rotator cuff tendon. Bascially connects your shoulder to your pec. I fucked it up while doing DB shoulder press. I heard like 8 pop's and crackles in my left shoulder. It was bad becuz i couldn't lift shoulders for 3 months. My doctor put me on Naproxen, and i was icing that region 4 times a day for 15min. intervals. It killed my strength and i couldn't lift heavy for upper body, just legs i was going heavy. Even to this day my left shoulder will give out and get tired much faster than my right shoulder. Same with bench, curls, and tricep extensions. I recently started lifting heavy on my shoulders, and NOW i am seeing gains, 5 months after my injury is a lot bro. Just be very careful and don't push yourself too much. Take it easy for a while, because shoulders are very important IMO. Make sure to ice that area, take pain killers, and see a doctor ASAP. Good luck.

sucks bro. i would take off for a a few weeks on upper body and start back light. if it is still giving you problems in the weeks to come, dont wait to long to go see a doc.

Haven't flat benched in ages, did it last week and it was fine so thought I'd do it again this week. Anyway I felt something go crackle in my shoulder/pec tendon so stopped right away. Taken some ibuprofen and just resting up now, I don't think its a propper tear but something definitely partially went.

I'l see how it goes and next week do like one plate a side or something for reps and get the feeling back. Hope it recovers fully put I don't think I'll be going heavy for a while
