Shoulder fooked

[glen666]

I was doing shoulders today with dumbells and overpressing 25kg each nothing to heavy my second warm up set.

My spotter wasnt watching and my arm bent back and I tried to correct and felt a ripping then it felt like the bone popped slightly out then back in not to good.

Question is should I get this checked out or just man up and rest? The pain is not to bad when I rest the arm if I try and use the arm in the shoulder press motion its pretty painfull and I have slight pain in my shoulder blade.

If it was serious would I be in more pain? I just dont want to do more damage.

If the weight you use for your second warm up set makes you dislocate your shoulder I'd say your using too much weight.

See your doctor.

Lol... clearly the spotters fault. Yes, get it checked... it's not worth having permanent damage and scar tissue in your shoulder. If your shoulder blade is hurting it's quite possible you've torn or damaged one of the muscles in your RC.

I would've thrown the DB at the spotter's face with my good arm, for being such a dumbass, and not actively spotting me on a warm up set.

It was heavyish but not my max on a normally shoulder day just went up slighty the wrong angle with my arms to0 relaxed and 25kg bending backwards was enough to pop/rip something for sure.

Meh I know, I did say take it so I could reposition my arms but the stupid git was not listerning. I did have the same situation with another friend which I was spotting on incline db press and I pretty much dived on him to protect his shoulders when the weight went at a weird angle.

I do think I have a weakness on this shoulder from BJJ, I will give it a while longer and see how it goes

Thanks for the advise so far..

aww dude that suckssss.... #1 get a better spotter , #2 take at least a week off from the gym. my personal opinion is that if it hasn't turned black and blue give it a week, but if it doesn't feel marginally better after that time get it checked with your physician. i don't claim to be a doctor though, so maybe you should at least call one.

the thing i hate about doctors though is that they rush you in for unnecessary procedures sometimes just so they can make money. my dad was about to pass a kidney stone by himself so they rushed him in to get it shattered. the next time he decided to wait longer and it passed nice & smooth with little to no pain. he later found that one of the supplements he was taking had too much calcium and thats what was causing his stones.

as a side note i fell while running last week and twisted my ankle. i dont have health insurance so i decided to give it a week and it has gotten 90% better... i didnt even stop going to the gym because it wasn't that bad... i just couldn't run for a few days.

Ripping + popping out of joint =/= man up.

Ripping + popping out of joint = see a fecking doctor already.

Exactly. Ripping and popping is going to require a little more then sitting a week out from the gym.
