*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

Best gym in Oxford without a doubt if you don't need all kinds of machines. There is a room full of different machines, but the leg press isn't great and there isn't a smith. You don't need either of those items to get stronk and yoked up out of your mind.

The guys that train there add an incredible amount of value too, but make sure you engage your common sense filter ;)

Also, it's a gay gym. If you aren't cool with getting bummed in the showers by a giant Austrian man then you are probably a homophobe, and possibly racist.

guys any idea on the shoulder pain while doing wide grip pull ups/lat pull downs? its only my left shoulder.

what happens is as soon as i lower my body on pull up there's something pooping inside my left delt/shoulder its as if a muscle tissue gets compressed between bits of other muscles? and its really painful and genuinely kills my pull-ups/lat pull downs in general.

any ideas? not asking for medical advice just maybe some rolling/stretching exercises that could help?

Most likely you have tight pecs because everyone has tight pecs.

Find a diagram and point to where the pain is.

But yeah, it's tight pecs.

Find a better diagram.

It's not massively important to know which part you're slowly pulling apart like wet tissue, as long as you stop doing it. Your pecs need myofascial release and stretching, and you need to start performing all of your pushing and pulling movements with your shoulder back in it's socket.

tbh both of my shoulders feel the same, so how do I know that 'my shoulder is in its socket?'
