Guys,
I was doing standard dumbell shoulder presses yesterday, 70 lb dumbells a hand (about 15 more pounds then I usually do) Was trying to keep up with my buddy... now.. On my 4th rep, my left cuff GAVE completely, and the weight went down, i had to bend with my arm and let the weight hit the floor full force, it didn't "snap" or "tear" or anything, the pain I'm experiancing is minimal I suppose... It happened yesterday.. I can keep my arm paralell with my leg and stick it out all the way, and even into the air, i can put my arm behind me, i can push out forward with my arm like doing front shoulder raises... but, when i go to swing my arm in a windmill type motion, 3/4 of the way around, a certain spot in my cuff starts hurting... the question is... is this a long term thing ? or can it be healed with rest / ice+heat ?
Thanks in advance guys

It's pretty impossible to diagnose something like that, best bet is to rest it for a few days.
you have suffered at the hands of your ego!
Do a google search for an article called Shoulders: an owners manual from hardgainer magazine it will tell you exercises to strengthen the cuff and how to keep it safe in future.

If it isn't better by next week, go see a sportsmed doc.

If I do really heavy workouts for awhile I start to have problems with my cuffs. I just sit out a week or take it really really light and it usually fixes itself. also everyday try moving it to where it hurts then a tad farther just to get it nice and stretched out. that is what i do when i have problems
