Oh hey jaunty - I used to do rotator cuff work but it don't make a difference

When I warm up I'll do some work with the stick, press the bar 10 times. 5x30, 5x40, then into work sets

I have ongoing shoulder problems. I tore my rotator cuff on the right side twice last year, and then did something else to it during rehab. Then early this year started to get tendinitis on both sides, especially the left side once I started trying to learn the Oly lifts and was just using my shoulders a lot more. It stuck around for about 3-4 months and got a bit painful at one point, and then suddenly went away in the space of about one week, when I combined foam rolling them, taking a load of fish oil, icing them and taking ibuprofen a few times. Hasn't been back since. So I guess in my case it was just some inflammation, and it needed a multi-pronged attack to make the inflammation go away.

Of course, shoulders are tricky things, very likely you have a different issue. But thought I would share.

Thanks jaunty, yeah it's not as bad as a torn rotator cuff. After I didn't lift for a weekend, the woke up Monday and it was worse than ever, I knew it was from sleeping funny on it. Lifting aggregates it, but that is the cause.

My hip flexor is driving me crazy it just won't heal. Hopefully will go away now I'm not squatting.

Thanks for stopping by, nice to get a visitor :)

Also went to physio yesterday was pretty happy with what he said. My hip problem is probably caused by my pelvis not being upright enough when I squat, I need to stretch it and my ankles more, and work on my form.
