Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

Delvis · 14 Oct 2013 at 14:44

Generally if your AC joint gets to a certain point of broken, there isn't much that can be done I don't think. It's been knackered since 2010 and it's still pretty knackered, so it's taken 3 threes to heal so far and counting!

Just need to keep working on it and hope for the best.

How can I make sure I don't get mongy shoulders?

Is it just a case of keeping elbows tucked?

Delvis · 14 Oct 2013 at 19:14

Tucked? Regarding what? Most of the time people neglect to stretch their pecs, which ends up pulling your shoulders forwards.

Pro tip. Warm up, always, warm up.

Erich Kriegler · 14 Oct 2013 at 19:34

I mean keeping elbows tucked in on flat bench, isn't that what damages a lot of people's shoulders?

Shoulder dislocations from day one

In all fairness, it hasn't taken Delvis' 3 years to heal, it's just that he neglected to see further professionals after his initial diagnosis for 2 years

Well, no, I saw someone about it, it fixed itself relatively well then it snapped again earlier this year, where I've attempted to see someone about it but I don't have the funds at the moment to carry on

Annoying me now though, attempted the 26's on incline DB bench, couldn't get them up without my shoulder feeling like it wanted to drop out of it's socket

SNAPPED? :O That sucks dude

I've heard of guys breaking their bones/joints and what knows else and repairing though right?

MoNkeE · 15 Oct 2013 at 09:28

No again, he doesn't literally mean snapped

Steedie · 15 Oct 2013 at 09:37

Slight twinge = Snapped for Delvis

MoNkeE · 15 Oct 2013 at 10:17

And also cant afford it right now = going on holiday to China for Delvis

Delvis · 15 Oct 2013 at 10:21

I forgot only a handful of people are allowed to use the term snapped / snapped up, my apologies.

Nate, I don't literally mean snapped, just royally knackered. Moving slightly in bed on my back was causing me grief last night for instance.

Might ask syla5 to give me a hand next week with the 26's, ill see how it feels. Squat today where naff, ah well.

Syla5 · 15 Oct 2013 at 12:19

Then why say you can't afford it? It's almost like you're deliberately trying to catch people out by more or less lying about your situation in the first place :confused:

grudas · 15 Oct 2013 at 12:33

if I was you I'd rest it instead of pushing it!

I had a problem with my shoulder when doing chin ups and lat pull downs.. left it alone for over a month and its been fine since..

MoNkeE · 15 Oct 2013 at 12:37

Terrible advice grudas, go back to grooming young girls.

don't worry about the girls, they're doing fine.. how is it terrible explain yourself!!!! DO IT NOW.

Leaving something alone is not address the root cause of the issue. It'll eventually come back and cause serious damage. If you have a dysfunction with a joint or a muscle, resting it is more likely to cause more issues than fix them.

What happened in my case was I simply lifted/pulled to much at the wrong angle and that caused the pain which for some reason wouldn't go away if I kept on training that part of the body..

I guess dovis has a different problem then?!
