I have shoulder pain in my left shoulder. i have tried to work my rotar cuff but still have pain. Any ideas lads??

Stretching,warm bath to relax the muscle.. could get a sports massage.. give it some time to heal but keep it active.. sharp pain is it?

i had the same problem donny, mainly on bench presses and it was affecting the rest of my training. i obviously dont know if its exactly the same problem but i started doing the three different versions of lateral raises, front back and side , using the cable machine just to focus on the area. i just played around with light weights with high reps and after about a month it solved the problem and then steadily increased the weight while lowering the reps.

probably worth a go

oh yeah, i forgot to say that you will probably have to do that with other exercises like bench press and shoulder press or any other exercises that require alot of shoulder strength, and rest it as much as you can to give it time to recover

Rest it's the only thing that'll work for that. I have shoulder problems down to bad form, and I had to just rest and wait. now no probs shoulders fine.

no probs Donny

hello  mate try ice on shoulder sounds strange but bag of frozen peas are good as moulds to shape of your shoulder leave on for 20 min

had something similar when i startde training all in first year, probably bad form too much weight but u learn i warm up really well now before training and never had a prob since(touch wood)

yes maybe i did my presses a bit out of rut. I think i did it doing chins behind my neck. I´m doing my Pull ups palms faceing. It does not hurt so i´ll just stick to them. THANKS LADS...

If i do any exercise behind my head lat pulldowns, chins or shoulders presses I get impingment (dont thinks that the right spelling) of the shoulders. I avoid them now and do not get the problems.

Yeah i have a bust left shoulder too cant to dips or chin ups on chest and shoulders i use dumbells mostly allthough i can still bench press (after dumbells) i would think the martial arts would agrivate it more than the weights just due to the angles and jolts.My brother has had a couple of jabs off the doctor for his over the years and it is fine for a while.might be worth a try?
