Recovery on that is a bitch. Every year we have athletes (mostly football) that come in for post-rehab therapy. Their injuries are usually caused from trauma such as a dropping a shoulder on a  tackle or hitting the ground.

I posted a video of me doing flat DB presses and Natural Wonder kept asking to "correct my internal rotation". I didn't answer because he didn't know any better and I was in no mood to explain but I am now. I don't and nor do I teach to keep elbows wide. I AlWAYS teach to press (if using DB's) to turn them in about 1/4 to change the path of the elbows to take the force off the labrum. Same with regular bench. It millimeters to save your shoulders. I know people that have been training for 10-15 years that still don't know proper mechanics when benching either with a straight bar or Dumbbells.
Title: Re: Looks like I re-tore my labrum,
Post by: Mawse on April 29, 2015, 07:36:51 PM
this is why I stopped benching with the straight bar

I've torn my hip labrums in a couple of places, had the frayed tissue cut off instead of stitched back. IMO the stitching is never going to fully heal as there's virtually no bloodflow to that area (which is why it doesn't heal by itself) and it can always retear.

good luck on rehab and don't bench the bar anymore

Shoulder labrum tears are a bitch. I tore both of mine, maybe 7-8 years ago within a year of one another. Opted for rehab as opposed to surgery. I'm able to workout real hard now, but in a very different manner than before. The strength of my shoulder isn't what it once was, nor is my bench. You can work around it in most cases but it will require you to alter your training as well as throw in a bit of upper back mobility work before a chest or back workout. Quickest way to recover is to work out your back and do a lot of pulling movements to strengthen rear upper posterior.  However like others have noted, it depends on the level of tear.

Just my experience.

I dislocated my shoulder 5 times. I actually started working out because of this. Shoulder has been healthy for 6-7 years after I started working out, then it dislocated again during boxing.
Finally got a bankart repair in the beginning of this year, labrum was torn on the front being the cause of all the trouble, fell on it when I was 16 years old.

I believe strength training helped stabilize my shoulder tremendously, and I can recommend to you incorporating stuff like exo/endo rotation with resistance.

I think it always will be a weak point though and you will have to keep it in mind.


Btw... You cannot already know for sure you have re-torn it. So try to keep a positive attitude and maybe it's something else.

I just caught you thread title at a glance and I thought you said you re-tore your rectum.  lol.

I had to do a double take.  That sucks about your shoulder though.
Title: Re: Looks like I re-tore my labrum,
Post by: MONSTER_TRICEPS on April 29, 2015, 11:06:08 PM
I had the surgery. Recovery took a year and a half. I know a guy who rehabbed without and was young enough for it to work. Will always be more susceptible to fuck it up again though.

Did you get the open procedure or the keyhole one? How long since your surgery and how have you been since?

What kind of sports do you do except for lifting?

Beware of the heavy barbell bench press.  I still do them, but only sparingly.  As you age, it best to use dumbbells most of the time.  If your shoulders hurt at all, do not even attempt barbell bench pressing.  Leave your ego at the gym entrance.

Post by: oldtimer1 on April 30, 2015, 03:27:37 PM
Not giving advice concerning surgery. Just telling my experience. My right shoulder throbbed for awhile and was really stiff. Then my left shoulder went. I was doing pullups. Pain was a 10 out of a 10. I thought I was going to pass out when I moved my arm. I saw an orthopedic surgeon and he did an MRI. Told me I had a torn labrum on my left arm. I remembered how long it took me to regain strength back in my arm after getting a complete bicep rupture repaired where my bicep rolled up my arm like into a ball to my delt.  I held off on the shoulder operation and the pain began to dissipate.

This was about 2 years ago. Where am I now. I can barely bench without pain and weakness. When I use dumbbells I can find a sweet spot by twisting the dumbbells. I use to hit the heavy bag and now it's a rare event.  I really want to hit it regular but I don't think my shoulder could take it. I see many guys that have minor shoulder operations and they are back in the gym benching in 3 months. I'm just wary since my complete bicep rupture and the length of time and work it took me to get back.

I got the keyhole arthroscopic surgery mate. About 5 years ago now. I was a boxer and endurance athlete. It fucked my boxing really badly because the rehab was so long. I always done weights too but it took about 2 years until I could really train shoulders and chest properly.
It's never been perfect since, I quit the boxing last year but still do gym/swimming and everything else fine now.

Damn thats a long recovery time, glad youre fine now though.  Did you fully recover on the boxing eventually?

Injuy's suck in a major way...
I tore my rotator cuff (supraspinatus) and was advized to have it operated on...
I doubted and had a university 2nd opinion: advise was not to have surgery and see what happened after proper time. Turned out that after (a long) time my shoulder kinda re-arranged and I was able to build it up with higher reps (15 or 20).
I am very glad I didn't have surgery, my strenght is back and I went from 20+ to 15+ to 12-15 on DB bench.

Clue: don't get an operation too soon. Most surgeons don't know shit about BB...

I am sorry to hear that you are going through this.

I had similar not too long ago and it sucked. I am finally able to lift decent weights with the affected arm and it's still not 100%.

The combination of Weak strength genetics and low I.Q  are to blame here. some people are just not cut out for lifting. Tedim is suited to more soft hand hobbies like washing up and embroidery, which is a more honest reflection of his personality.

MVA, head on at 65 mpr, kid crossed the median and we went corner to corner seat belt held body but the shoulder and arm pulled forward and dislocated ripping the labrum....I was 40...
