I don’t know what I did to my shoulder on Monday, but it wasn’t good.
I’m still in pain today. Doing a lateral raise? 99.9% pain free. Doing a front raise (no weight, just lifting my arm in that direction), hurts a good deal, tho each day it’s less than the day before. Trying to move my arm across my body, ouch.
I also hear/feel something moving funny.
I do think I did something bad.
I may never do another chin-/pull-up again. I always have something eventually go wrong with my shoulder, and this is certainly the worst. I cannot say precisely what happened, but it certainly happened as a result of the chin-ups. I still want to try one more time, doing rope/towel chins, since that would put things in a more neutral and “free to move” position. But I’m not sure how wise it would be at this point — just chalk it all up and move on.
I opted to just sleep in and not go to the gym. My body obviously needs more rest, less beating up. Likely will skip Friday too. Beyond that, no idea.
See if this one is of any help.
No, it wasn’t much help… or at least, it may have been of more use before this happened. 😉
Still, it did make me wonder if it is an impingement problem. For sure, I want to reexamine things once I can get back into the gym, and this video did give me some things to consider.
Thank you!
