Pulled my shoulder

[Ry_B]

In the gym last night I benched too much but I was with my mate so he took it so I thought all was goodish...

Anyway it proper wrecked for about a minute then stopped but I've woke up this morning in agony :( don't think I'll be training for a bit, any tips on how to stop the pain as it is fooking killing and I can't do much :bored:

or go to your local vet and get put down......

hehe, made me laugh.

I'd see someone about it mate, my dad did some nasty dammage to his shoulder in a similar way, had it opperated on eventually.

I've already had 2 paracetamols lol and they've not done anything

As for the vet lol, can you reccomend any decent ones round here?

Best thing u can do is rest it 4 a couple of days maybe weeks, if its a recent injury ice it 4 about 10min twice a day. i've got shoulder injury from the gym and its taken 3months, just started getting back in the gym.

also the vet on marshal lake round is good

anti inflamtries for any swelling and also paracetimol will help for the pain!

bench press is very simple to do! your elbows shouldnt go past your shoulder joint by much at all... if they do you will damage your shoulders! as you r experiencing now... also you find when performing a bench press action on the bench, when you bring the weight towards your chest, your shouldblades adduct and acually push into the bench! - what this causes is an arch in your lower back if your not carefull.... this lordosis will cause lower back pain & possible serious injuriy... the common saying is "big bench - bad back!" If i were you! id start bench press on a lighter weight with correct technique and use the swiss ball to bridge from. as jerry say's " look after yourself and eachother "

but thats just me LOL

Its good you had a spotter with you, ive seen sum nasty things happen & i really dont like the thought of hearing that 60kgs was on your throat! let alone seing it again..... LOL

:thumbup: :err:
