[QUOTE="Saul, post: 88599, member: 16541"] The shoulder take a beating. I had a similar issue but worse a few weeks back. Some days could not lift my arm above my shoulder. I know this trainer at the gym I go to and asked (paid) him for and hours worth of help. I can parrot back as best I can what he said that might get you in the right direction. He stressed stretching and warm ups before working out, which I did, [B]but [/B]he said I was stretching my major shoulder muscles and not the muscles/ligaments/tendons of the rotor cuff. He gave me some specific streatches and lifts to do when I lift upper body to focus on the rotor cuff and the stuff that was hurting. He also gave me a few things to avoid when I lift, mostly arm/hand position stuff to reduce aggravating it. So far so good. I am having less major pain and less achiness, but it is still sore sometimes. Not all the way better, but it has not been that long. I think stretching long term is the key. He seemed to know his stuff as he as a power lifter and had a shoulder injury in his past. Some lifts I now avoid or stop if there is any pain and just move on. . One last thing, I lift on a 4 day cycle mixed in with abdomen with a day or two of rest mixed when I am busy or tired. My days are lower body, back & biceps, chest & tris, and shoulders. He said shoulder days and chest days are hardest on the shoulder so don't lift those parts back to back. He said I should try to get as much separation between those days as I can. . I hope this helps and that you get over this. Shoulders are like your back, they are vital to most all activities. Good luck. . [/QUOTE]
