Title: Hurt my front deltoid from pull ups
Post by: figgs on October 22, 2006, 09:17:36 AM: I fucked up my shoulder yesterday in the gym. Some guy decided to blast Eye of the Tiger from his ipod speakers while I was in the middle of pull ups. All I can say about that set is that the song motivated me a little too much and I overdid myself! LOL Hey, at least my back is sore today!

But what happened was on my 2nd rep, 1/4 of the way up I heard some kind of cracking sound in the front delt on my left followed by sharp pain. It hurt but I continued the set to absolute failure. Stupid me. Anyway, it's not very painful but I have a shoulder workout to do later and I'm a little nervous.

I kinda hurt myself yesterday on my first set of close grip presses and I racked the weight right away and worked around it completley. I didn't do any excersises that I felt any pain doing.

Very smart! Today is shoulders and I felt my shoulder's pain a bit while chinning at gym in school. So I decided to take the day off. I feel a bit overtrained anyway, so this rest day isn't at all a stress on the psyche. :)

Good shoulder day! My DB shoulder press increased 5 reps since the last time I did them!! No pain at all, in fact, I forgot about the injury until a minute ago! ;D

good! i hope the same goes for me with my lowerback and chest. just little "workthrough" pains but it still pisses me off.

Good luck. Just be sure to stretch and warm up thoroughly, although I don't doubt you already do.
