Thread 76588634

Whenever I do upper body workout (pushups etc), I hurt my right shoulder near the neck, over the next 24 hours it shoots up and becomes a terrible headache. I'm thinking about giving up strength training and just doing cardio because of this. Any tips? Don't tell me to fix my form. I already fixed my form. My form is fixed.

I have that problem with pullups
You might be gripping the bar too tight or have your head in a weird position, but that's just my 2 cents
What upper body workout?

>>76588672
Pushups with feet on bed

ur right serratus is way weaker
push-up is retarded anyways but u will get errything u want from pushup and more and fix your serratus if u do
>>76588720
>Pushups with ARMS on bed POSITION
yes, like decline bench, arms straight and spine controlled and neutral (keep double chin everything will fall into place)
then protract shoulders all the way, bend arms slightly and flex pecs holding yourself in this position
>decline pushup, protracted shoulders and pec flex - got it
pair of dumbbells in neutral grip for support would be nice also

ur right scap is flopping uncontrollably and pinching nerves cause serratus is weak

>so if i fix serratus and scapular control will i be able to spam pushups like an retard?
yes, but that's retarded, necessarily retracted shoulders in pushup will deform pecs that won't be able to contract in the middle cause rib cage is rubbing on them
>can't i do pushup with protracted shoulders?
no that's insta shoulder fuckeroo
>so now pushup is retarded?
always was son, always was

this is megos, megos doesn't bench
>he does he loves ze bench
no, he doesn't want pecs to blow up, he don't bench
>but i thought u said pushup bench doesn't build pecs
doesn't build full muscle yeah but megos is concerned bout pecs pushing him off wall, so he don't bench, and pecs look quite blown out just from cloombing
do u know what climbers do not do?
>what?
they don't RETRACT SHOULDERS basically ever lol :D
here's another one:

Sounds like a nutritional problem. Make sure you're getting enough calories and 1 gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight (weight - bf%/100 * weight)

also everything he says is just wrong and centers around shit like "if you curl, your delts are taking the load and it's a compound so you're not isolating the bicep" but that's true for 100% of exercises, it is impossible to purely isolate any muscle. It's like saying you can't isolate quads with a leg extension because your forearms are under tension when you hold the grab-bars... he's absolutely clueless and is definitely pathetically small. He also never posts body and he's barely incoherent. He shits up every fucking posts with his autism and I wish he'd just die

>>76589152
>>76589168
all lies bot :D
>"if you curl, your delts are taking the load and it's a compound so you're not isolating the bicep"
if u curl without support under elbow - rest your torso through arm on elbow/forearm, just lean on elbow with dumbbell in hand sitting
if u curl (preacher included) without this setup which i believe is my own invention, never heard of anyone doing it then delt is flexing holding humerus upright or trying to flex shoulder joint in preachers and it blocks long head of biceps shoulder tendon from moving freely
resulting sputtering contraction will bring u injury and no biceps

no it doesn't

yes that's called a preacher curl you moron, jesus christ try to write properly nobody knows what the fuck you're trying to say

Thanks anon! I'll try these out when I heal. I got a couple questions.

> keep double chin everything will fall into place
What does double chin mean here?

> then protract shoulders all the way
> >can't i do pushup with protracted shoulders?
> no that's insta shoulder fuckeroo

Pushups with protracted shoulders is safe or not?

And what other exercises do you suggest?

Start with small dumbells. Or bags of sand. Or bottles of water. Work yourself up.

Go to a physician .
I fucked my shoulder doing stupid incline dumbbell shoulder press with 40kg dumbbells. I warmed up well and just tried to do them till failure several times.
After my shoulder clicked and felt pain when i picked anything up (like from my stomach area to side). I stretched as i felt, did supermans stretches which usually help, tried sleeping it off, stopped doing chest and shoulders for a month.
Pain still there.

Went to physician and with one simple bent arm backwards stretch it suddenly felt good. Apparently i had slightly dislodged it and only this awkward stretch helped.

I really feel like i accidentally got decent lats from spamming curl bar. Havnt targeted them until recently

>>76590013

Oof. Dam! Hope mine heal on its own. If not, Imma go to the doctor.

>>76590647

Well, what do you do?

>>76590692
Shitpost on /fit/ all day

>>76588634 (OP)
Bring up your torso so the tendons dont stretch.

>>76588634 (OP)
Dynamic warm ups

>>76588634 (OP)
I know it might be just a coincidence but I developed a bunch of pimples on my right shoulder after I got injured. My left shoulder is clean like mr clean's head. So strange!

>I really feel like i accidentally got decent lats from spamming curl bar. Havnt targeted them until recently
Most people do full body curls, and lats are a big part of that. Launch your elbows back, that's them.
