Extra protection to protect a shoulder?

[Cowart69]

Every so often my kid has been having problem with getting hit in the shoulder and straining a joint in the back of the shoulder which then takes him out of commission to lift heavy and takes a while to heal.

For anyone who has issues with this or knew somebody that did....is there something you can where along with the pad to give a little added protection?

They started making under armour like shirts with built in padding on places like the shoulder. I would try something like this

G mane...that looks a little complicated. I know know if I could get him to where that.

The mcDavid shirt was interesting. I have another question. I was originally going to get him a "ribbie" shirt to keep his pads in place a little better.

That mcDavid shirt look like a better way to go?

it can also be worn on two shoulders at the same time. i think i'm going to buy this one for the season. I'm really trying to find this really popular shoulder brace that I see on NFL players and NCAA football players. I've been trying to find it online but no luck. I'm probably going to call or visit one of the local D1 schools and ask their trainer what shoulder braces they recommend to the football players with shoulder issues because my team's trainer doesn't know the name of it. If I find out, I'll relay here but so far I'm leaning towards getting the Cadlow shoulder stabilzer. I've heard that neoprene braces are suspect.

had a hurt shoulder my senior year and it really sucked. wore the pads "SIP" or skeleton pads. i think it is exactly what you are looking for. There was very minimal loss of motion and since he is a DE like me it wont affect him too much. Really added extra padding and was very good to my shoudler.

Yep i was gunna say a shoulder wrap or harness, but its already been said.

Bumping this for more information as I will need to order this pretty soon.

His shoulder is not hurt right now......so I dont think the harness is necessary.....but what is the "SIP" on top of that? What does that abbreviation stand for? That looks like something he could wear under his pads without too much restriction to perhaps prevent it from happening in the future.

And where do I get it?

Thanks in advance.

Also someone suggested getting a "spider" but I have no idea what that is. If anyone knows or could provide me a link I would greatly appreciate it.

S.I.P stands for Shoulder Injury Pad. It is made specifically to reduce the damage the shoulders sustain during contact. They are available in nearly all major sporting goods stores.

I was at a football camp and a running back had one of these that connected to his shoulder pads. It kept him from moving his shoulder too much.

Wouldnt the harness restrict your range of motion. I dislocated my shoulder a while back so Im also in need of extra protection for my shoulder

check this one out. it's made to not restrict motion, it secures to a harness you wear around your chest (like suspenders) and some shorts that you wear under your football pants (like sweats). it's not bulky and it can also be used during shoulder rehab programs. if you add up all the factors that a shoulder brace should have, this one has all of the necessary factors the others have and then some.

yeah, its pretty expensive tho

i might just get the skeleton

I got him a SIP.

I guess they are getting custom shoulder pads this year first time I have ever seen it. Instead of just throwing them a set out of the equipment shed they came in, took measurements, and ordered them.

[ThaCarterIII]

yeah imma just get a SIP too

will it permit the full range of motion in my arms?

I used a regular McDavid shoulder brace, but its kind of hard to breath with it on...
