Every f****** time

[S317]

Seems like everytime I get in a nice groove where I’m really progressing week to week and everything is going perfect the gym I aggravate an old injury and I’m too hard headed to back off until I have to.
Looks like I’ll be having my left shoulder looked at it’s been aggravated off and on for about 3 weeks.
I’m still going to continue on. there will be no shoulder work besides rear delts and no chest work besides activation exercises, rom, and stretches. I’ll still hit my right pec with cables and machines.
I’m 35 with a bad back, achy knees, and bad shoulders, and get neck pain so bad at times I can get migraines.
The crazy part is not a single injury originated from the gym. It was all from manual labor jobs in my 20s.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time for reading this and letting me vent. We all know if it hurts stop but that’s easier said than done when you love this hobby as much as a lot of us on here do.

Sucks bro, sorry to hear this. I presume you’ve tried massage therapy and maybe a chiropractor?

How does your workout programming look? volume, intensity, frequency etc.. how often do you deload?

Maybe if you use some gears that convert to estrogens you can have better joints etc

Thanks bro. It’s not the first time. I know I’ll have to have surgery eventually just not quite yet. I’m good friends with a massage therapist so I’ll be going to see them tomorrow. I already go to a chiropractor twice a week with my neck and he’s been a life saver.

I'll bet the hobo would have had some good training insight for you.

Right now I’m running Creeping Death 2 but I’ll normally take a week completely off every 4-6 weeks.

I’m running npp, test and dbol. Now I typically avoid any dry compounds. Even var makes me stiff.

 

[S317]

Lol

Lol he was taken from us far too soon

I have same issues. Concrete carpenter since 1988. My girlfriend is a trigger point massage therapist. Not sure if your therapist has experience in that field but it does wonders for me. Whatever ails me, whether lower back or knees , no matter how crippling the pain is , she is able to bring me relief every time. The process is very painful but well worth it.

Shoulder injuries are the roughest and they seem to be used directly and indirectly in all the major lifts so that is a rough setback to have. Hopefully you had no major damage to the joint over the years and as you get older the joints get less resilient.

I myself have damage in my right shoulder from when I was a little kid doing dangerous things (like climbing trees), I broke the clavicle close to the tip where it meets the joint structure and it never set right. Never gotten surgery ever since and now I regret it as it gives me shit when I bench. Inquired about it with my doc recently and I was told it would not be cheap (even now having good insurance) and I'd have a longer recovery time. Had xrays done and it shows a large bone growth so I might just man up and get it done.

Planning on having surgery if it's needed?

A good massage hurts like hell and cripples me the next day, but the day after that I feel like a million bucks.

I have an old lower back injury and seeing an RMT every few months has helped my deadlift more than any cycle or program ever has.

I feel your pain dude I never ever felt a single anything ever aaaaaand about 38 years old suddenly

I fell down a flight of stairs and dislocated my right shoulder on xmas eve

Which caused tennis elbow

And then golfers elbow

And then BOTH AT THE SAME TIME

And then recurring shoulder pain

IT band syndrome

Then I somehow dislocated my wrist working chest (all injuries to right arm...except obviously the IT band issue)

I feel in my swimming pool and nearly drowned on xmas eve and could barely move several days later (I cant swim)

Stoked to see what pain is coming next!

Others have mentioned massage and I second that for sure. I'll also add that I find an epsom salt bath once or twice a week to be a life saver too. I buy huge 50 lb bags of epsom salt and I'll throw like 3-5 lbs of salt in there along with some jasmine essential oil and soak in the bath so hot I will start sweating a bit. Sometimes, maybe once a month or so, I will pop a muscle relaxer beforehand too (not super recommended...they are habit forming, but it's one of those vices I just love every now and then to relax like no other).

I know how you feel but less general, I have 2 specific injuries that will bother me that really hold back my deadlifts. I actually was able to heal a very old, nagging injury by running BPC-157 for about 9 months. 2x per day 100mcg. It was pharna shit, so set me back about 2 grand overall, but honestly it was totally worth it to be rid of that fucking injury. I still run BPC for a few months each year; I feel like it helps me just stay on top of recovery even if I don't have anything acute going on.

Hey bud I am 44 and the same thing happens to me some times. I find that when I am blasting you know I want to lift the gym but I have to control myself and try not to go so heavy and focus more on my form and contractions with liter weight.
Is the pain in the joints?
