I hurt my rotator cuff 3 months ago whenever I was squatting and the bar slid down my back and caught my hand, forcing my shoulder into a very painful position. It hurts now as bad as it did back then, and I believe my rotator cuff may be torn. I was told by a physical therapist that he feared...

I have a weird small pain in my right quadricep that occurs after squatting and lasts around 36 hours. It's not present before I squat, but soon begins after my first working weight set. It's only in my right quad. It occurs only sometimes when I bend my right leg. I can easily work through it, but...

Im currently doing many exercises involving lower back and Im afraid my back will get hurt over the long run.. The exercises Im doing : Squats ( less involvement than a regular squat) - twice a week but the second variation is much less intense. , Romanian deadlift ( twice a week ) , rack pulls...

Although I don't think it's likely a minor strain (only a slight amount of pain) I think there may me something I'm doing wrong with my DBOHP, especially the lockout. Today, I upped the weight and was fine for the first few sets, until the last set where I couldn't kick the weight up at all...

Any kind of overhead extension, whether it is with a bar, dumbbell, cables or machine really bothers and irritates my left elbow. Even a very light load for a few reps (10 pounds) becomes unbearable to do because of elbow pain. Lying extensions (skullcrushers) with free weights or cables or...

So I been on jason blaha 5x5 program for 2 months and started to work on my breathing just recently. I seen the vasala manuever and tried it, and it increased my squat by 10 lbs. BUT after further researching I seen it could lead to stroke, hernias, passing out etc. So my main question is this:...

Hi there, Just a quick one really... So I've been trying to jog recently (to get fit and ready for beginner boxing classes). I've been jogging around our block and in my right foot (which is a flat foot) I get a shooting pain which is mainly at my calf and the bottom of my foot really hurts...

Looking for any help here! Had a desk job for 15 years and I have a feeling it was the cause... I'm right handed so I used the mouse a lot, and looking back, I don't think I kept my shoulders even while on the computer every day. I think I probably pulled my right shoulder forward consistently and...

After getting my squat around the 270-280 mark I started noticing pain in my hips I figured it was doms and because I was squatting more. One day it got bad and everytime I got parallel in my Squat is was a pinch in the front of my hips and got worse the further down I got. I dealt with it for a...

I've had a problem with shoulder pain for 2 years now. It started with a clicking sound and no pain, but has gradually deteriorated to the point I'm having to work from home 4 days a week as just sitting at a desk, walking/running will bring on pain across the top of my scapula. It's like an...

First thing, I have a doctor's appointment but it's not for two weeks. Outside of lifting I play soccer a few times a week. Probably not so smart since you always pick up bruises and twists here and there. Anyway... About 9 days ago I got a knee right into my lower quadriceps. Had to come off...

I'm a beginner, not sure if this is normal. No sharp shooting pain, just a dull pain that lasts a few days. I think the pain is on the side of my spine and I feel it if I'm bending over (to tie my shoes for example). Wondering if I might be going too low or using bad posture on the way up from...

Hi all i'm in need of some advice as my arms still hurting a week after i felt pain. I've been doing a few sets of hammer curls after my 5x5 workout and noticed my left forearm has started to hurt at the back going towards my elbow. I've stopped doing all exercises and rested a week it still...

I've been dealing with some sciatic pain I can't get rid of, it goes away at times after hitting the gym but comes back next day, already tried different mattresses and positions. I've done some hamstring and piriformis stretches but don't help much, maybe I'm doing the wrong ones. Anyone got...

I've been having knee pain on and off for a while, which I only really encounter during karate, and only when doing a side-kick with the bad knee on the support leg. I finally realised today during a warm up in the gym that my right leg twists to the side when doing high leg swings with my left...

Is it normal to bleed after a cycling class? Do I need to get check? I never had a extreme workout like this.
