I seem to have hurt my shoulder? What now?
I was doing incline smith press and seem to have hurt my front delt in the middle of set, It wasn’t sharp or sudden but I just kinda noticed it, and i made a chump move and decided to finish the set, instead of racking it immediately, i skipped overhead press and lateral raises, I did some cable flies which didn’t seem to have any affect
Now the pain isn’t sharp, I have full range of motion, and the pain is only there when I place some weight on shoulders, so ig it isn’t really serious but should I still continue my upper body workouts and skip presses? Or should I take a week off and only do lower body?
You're viewing a single thread.
I've been told that as long as there's pain that shouldn't be there, don't do that until the pain is gone. I'd still move the affected muscles a bit to see if it hurts but don't overdo it. Use smaller weights or even without weights and see if the situation improves in a few days or so.
That’s actually what I am trying to figure out, should i skip arms, chest (fly’s only) or even back if my shoulders feel a little funky
You have the correct answer. Rest the muscle group until you don't have pain. If the pain persists for longer than normal or gets worse, definitely see your doc.
