>Injured my right shoulder now cant bench press anymore>Cant do any type of presses anymoreIs it over? Has /fit/ ever injured themselves that prevented them from working out? How long did it take to recover and how did you cope?
>>77005072I have a tendency to rekt myself into a forced rest week pretty often but I usually get stronger after 1 week of rest.
>>77005072>Is it over?Don't know. Too many different ways to fuck your shoulder up.
The cope is to assume the worst case scenario, that it is never going to get better, and to find a way to train without pain or making things worse.
>hurt muh back>hurt muh shoulder>hurt muh wristsgod i love being constructed out of graham crackers.
>tension headaches>sore neck>cervical cracking>tight upper trapsAll until the end of time. Fuck
>>77005072Shit, I've had some kind of sprain or strain on almost every body part that required some days to weeks of rest/rehab, but never a serious injury with really chronic long-term rehab that I couldn't fully recover from.
>>77005072going through rotator cuff rehab myself right now from a combination of overuse and ego lifting. it’s a marathon not a sprint so i’ll keep rehabbing and it heals when it heals. keep the faith bro if the limb is still attached to your body there’s a high likelihood you can fix it
>>77005072What exactly did you injure? Any "doctor" telling you you'll never press again is a quack who wants you coming back every week for PT that never actually heals you. I developed osteolysis in my AC joint, and my doctor said that any lifts I could tolerate without pain were A-OK. I've completely recovered and can bench press normally now.
>>77005336Deltoid Medial. I can do shoulder exercises just fine but doing bench press, incline press, push ups fucking hurts. Its not the rotary cuff cause I can move my shoulder fine with zero pain. I can even do lateral raises but yeah, any press hurts. and its just the center of my shoulder (deltoid medial)
>>77005363How did you injure it? Are you going to do PT? I hurt my shoulder at work, couldn't sleep on that side for a year, unfortunately couldn't get workers comp to cover it, but did PT anyway. If you're even remotely strong already, physical therapists are gonna love you; most of their clients are decrepit old people who could barely move before getting their hips/knees replaced. If you're young and take it seriously, you should be able to recover if you didn't totally fuck your shit up to begin with.
>>77005072You can still probably press in neutral grip.Pec deck, lat raise, facepulls, tricep isolation, cable cross you'll be fine there's plenty of stuff you can still do. It won't be as time compact but it works all the same if you can progress in weight.
Inflamed right side back nerve pain from pushing myself curling the 30kg dumbell.It's been over half a year and only now getting better.
>>77005072literally me every 6 months. my chest gains are fucked
>>77005363Are you positive it's not the bicep tendon? It gets mistaken as shoulder pain quite frequently
>>77005417i can do bicep workouts fine. the pain is specifically in the center of my shoulder (deltoid medial) and only when I do chest presses
>>77005072I also injured my right shoulder once, and it put me in a similar position where I couldn't bench without pain. It was a rotator cuff injury, I think, not a deltoid medial thing. I laid off it a couple of months to heal, but it never seemed to recover.Decline bench is what got me well enough to do flat/incline. I chose that exercise because I still wanted to bench, and there was only a very discomfort to it as compared to traditional benching. Maybe a month or two of that and I was able to bench normally again. It was scary at first to see if I could actually push the weight up at first without aggravating the shoulder, but it turned out fine. Shoulder feels mostly the same now, maybe lacking a little mobility as compared to before. Maybe fixable with stretching or something, but I don't have any tips for that.Good luck, fren.
>>77005072Widegrip flatback bench used to be my weak point and injury prone, now it's stronger than arched bench.
>>77005072Sprained my ankle just before new years while rucking by sheer inattentive stupidity. 1 day later after a good night's rest it no longer hurt and swelled on its own and I could go for careful limping walks to the store by day 2 and 3 and even climb a hill on day 4.One week passes and still feeling very uncertain about adding any real weight on my back, definitely cannot run at all, but I can walk okay at least with a tiny limp.Two weeks pass and I can run now, but things still feel funny down there with small, but noticable, swelling around the foot that might fuck me up if I want to put 20kg on my back and go in the woods again, so I rather not risk it just yet.Third week I go for a ruck again and manage a 12 mile over rough terrain at just under 3 hours and no serious issues when I get back home to recover. Safe to say 2 weeks is a minimum for rolling your ankles, 3 weeks just to be on the safe side.
>>77006266I came back to this thread to get a different perspective and you delivered anon. I’m gonna incorporate decline into my rehab now. I appreciate you bro if you’re reading this know that and good luck the rest of the way.
>>77005072>decided to demonstrate my striking speed>no big deal>next morning my collar bone moves around freely, off my fucking sternum >cant do some movements nowAnyone that loves life is wrong
>>77005072Thankfully I fixed my shoulder by doing dumb bell windmills and stretching
my shins are pretty fucked up from muay thai
>>77006410what the fuck? how?
>>77005072i injured something in my left shoulder 5 monts ago, i started liftiing again slowly but i still feel something is fucked, ill never be able to recover from that i think
rolled my ankle walking to the gym yesterday, initially hurt and then kept walking on it, walked on it again today and did legs and it hurts slightly more now
>>77005072>Has /fit/ ever injured themselves that prevented them from working out? How long did it take to recover and how did you cope?I had a stroke and dislocated my shoulder during the associated seizure at 34yo. I was walking 3 days after coming off of the ventilator. After 3 months of PT for the shoulder dislocation I was told I'd likely never be able to lift my previous weights again, but I'd be able to get close. Within ~6 months I was back to workout out and within about 1 year I was hitting pre-stroke maxes again. I'd say I'm in better shape now that I have ever been.Yes, you absolutely can bounce back. Trust me, I've done it.
