Are you incorporating any stretches or mobilizations for the shoulder joint, shoulder girdle and thoracic spine?

Many times shoulder impingement is due to a structural problem from a functional...

It really depends on the severity of injury and pain.

I would personally start with all exercises in a seated position, preferably in a machine as this will place minimal stress on the spine...

Hello there!

How does your exercise program look like? The exercises in your shoulder day are very anterior dominant (the anterior deltoid/lateral deltoid are greatly used). Generally what happens...

Hello Jalz,

Are you male or female? And do you have access to a gym?

Everything looks good right now, but I personally wouldn't be too focused on pin pointing your macros. At this time, I Would...

It's probably your acromioclavicular joint that's causing that "pop" sensation.

How is your push to pull ratio? Are you doing more bench pressing than rowing? Usually if you do too many presses...

Stop strengthening those muscles, you should be stretching those exact muscles.

Stretch: hip flexors, quads, lower back
Strengthen: glutes, abdominals

A little more lordosis. Tilt the pelvis forward (kinda like when girls take a selfie :p)

Never seen them before, but they would work:

anterior deltoid, posterior deltoid, upper trapezius and the biceps.

That's the general hip flexor region. Usually people who adapted to the low bar back squat have pain in that area, but if you're passing your toes, you may be doing a high/mid bar placement (which is...

Yep do it on the middle back as well. There is a lot of musculature, so make sure you take your time to get into the deeper layers.

As for the deep tissue massage, yes and no. It really depends on...

Sounds like a trigger point. They usually feel like knots in a muscle, and when pressed on, radiates a dull, achy pain downwards (in this case, the chest and arm).

If I were to guess, it'll be a...

Pain in the shoulder blade after overhead pressing is most likely due to the deep, paraspinal muscles. If the pain feels very deep, I'd probably say it is. It's a very tender area to work on, but it...

Here's a little symptom list that I just wrote up real quick.

Sharp pain with movement = muscle strain, ligament sprain, joint irritation
Electrical pain = most likely neurological, herniation,...

I've never heard of this, but it's quite possible that the nerve that is innervating the muscle is impinged. Have you tried foam rolling/using a lacrosse ball near the middle back to help relax...

Start with light weight, high repetition exercises. Work on both the wrist flexors/extensors as well as the deep hand muscles.

You can do this by performing forearm curls/reverse curls and farmers...

You're doing all the right things, here's a video/article I wrote up on this exact condition:

It's not necessary, but if you feel like your knees are unstable during heavy squats, then I would personally wear them. On the other side, you don't want to rely on them.

Personally, I'd only...

In addition to what everybody mentioned, I would strongly recommend slow, eccentric leg extensions to build up the strength of different structures (muscles, tendons, etc) around the knee. You don't...

Let me start by telling you that you're doing the right things.

May people roll on foam rollers without knowing the real benefit of it, and WHY they should be doing it. It's good that you don't...

I would personally only take the medication IF the pain was unbearable.

My advice to you is to move the shoulder as often as you can throughout the day (even if it's minimal movement). Arm...
