Naw ... I'm fat enough that my gut would muffle the sound.

The sound of the initial snap maybe, but not the screaming. There would be lots of screaming...

T-Bar slipped out of my hands with 5 plates+ on last week, just glad my feet weren't in the way. Just got some good natured grief from my buds at the gym, and I could give a **** what the posers there thought.

Right there with you, bruddah!

I've got a bit of a burn on my back from where the bar scraped me on the way down.

Anyone have a suggestion for a very sore shoulder? It kills me to bench, flye, etc. I just wish I could get a cortisone shot, but that ain't gonna happen. I even purchased a $100 pillow with a cavity for my arm to put less pressure on the shoulder. Any OTC gels, sprays, etc any good? Front/side of shoulder is what really hurts.

icehog3 · 01-11-2010, 08:25 PM

I had serious shoulder problems in both shoulders years ago. Is there a reason you can't get a cortizone shot, Hugh? I had two shots in each, about 2 weeks apart, and haven't had shoulder problems for many years, just from the one series of shots.

There's not a lot to go off of from that. What happened? Need a little more detail. Have you gone to a Dr. yet? Is it just extremely sore? Is it caused by repetitive motion i.e. from work related tasks? Gym injury?

With all that said for temporary pain relief I would say advil or generic equivalent and some icy hot or something like that.

Monday's Training
Squats
537x3,3,3 Felt like I was squatting a little high, having some hip issues. It's due to my new drive to work ( 90min+ per day )
Pulls
315x1 405 x0,1(both done with quaded minis)
Leg Ext
Abs
Calves
GHR
Reverse Hyper...

Played around with a few band set ups tonight. 4 plates + quaded minis was pretty brutal form had to be spot on for that. Tried to do 3 plates with quaded minis and quaded micro minis and it was a ****ing mess.

Just pounded a huge steak with some leftover carb combo mess sort of casserole.

Yes, I have talked to my doc about this. He just told me to take it easy. I told him I felt maybe I had a torn rotator cuff, but he didn' think so. I don't think he would be willing to give me a cortisone shot, but I might ask for one, as this shoulder has been bothering me for a good year now.

Not really sure what happened, can only surmise that "pitching" without proper warmup might have contributed. And perhaps sleeping on that side? Dunno, other than it really does bother me. Sometimes I move wrong, and boy, I almost yell in pain!

I wonder if working out through the pain actually makes matters worse, but I know that two weeks off(when I was away from home) didn't help matters.

The more I think about it, the more I think I should insist on a cortisone shot.

I would honestly get a second opinion. If you have the option I would see a specialist. Pain for almost a year is a little fishy. I would wait for the shot, until you have exhausted all other options. Could you pinpoint where exactly the pain is coming from? or is it too much radiating pain? If it's from throwing a baseball there are a lot things that could have gone wrong with your shoulder.
