Shoulder Cure???

Hey Guys! I just started back about 5 months ago. I injuried my left shoulder doin incline DB press back late last summer. I've been takin growth 2iuX5d per wk for 3 months now. My shoulder seems a little better. Still hurts some, mainly just on barbell exercises and I pick up my 5 yr old little boy. I slight pinching pain. I've got a some goodies but wanted to know if doin the growth with deca alone would fix the problem before I go heavy and hard with the good stuff. I just don't wanna waste my goodies. I thought 6 months of rest would cure it. Going to the doctor is a last resort. Appreciate any opinions.
 
Sounds like exactly what I was experiencing. I couldn't do anything with a bar, dbells only. Decline hurt like a bastard. I got fed up and saw an otrhoped. doctor and they took some xrays, mri, etc. The diagnosis was that I had Multi-directional Instability. Basically, some of the small muscles and connective tissues deep inside the shoulder are not as strong as they should be. The major muscles (delts, pecs, etc.) have been growing like hell, but the little ancillary ones haven't kept up.

Doc sent me to a physical therapist once a week for 2 months, and they taught me some exercises to strengthen what needed work. It has definitely helped me out, and I am slowly working up to where I should be. (I feel like a dork in the gym doing leaning military db press with 25lbs on an exercise ball, but what the hell - it helps.)

Time and some strenghening exercises might be just what you need. Get things back to par before you go hard/heavy. Go see a specialist if it is an option available to you.

Good luck bro.

I was in the MMA biz for years and power lifting as well. Struggled for 2 years with torn r. cuff. That plus wrist / back injuries eventually kicked me to the curb. I kept trying the warm ups for shoulder prior to any lifts at all and it no workie. I finally agjusted my routine. No more movements out of line with natural plane, i.e. - bench press, barbell overhead, etc. I began doing heavy movements only with d.b.'s and therefore never keeping my wrists/arms from following their natural plane. Based on my experience I would say that you should insure maximum blood flow to the shoulder prior to any movements and then to stay on plane. The shoulder is affected by almost everything in the gym so be careful and coordinated with all of your movements and eventually it will be strong again.

Good Luck
 
before i even read you were thinking of deca i was already planning on suggesting it. if i ever have problems with joints ill run a low dose of deca for 3 or 4 weeks, it does the trick. 200 mg once a week for a month or so should help alot bro.
 
This won't cure you but definatley help prevent further damage: use more dumbells when possible on any movement when given the option. You have a greater range of motion and flexibility. For example, barbell bench pressess can feel like murder whereas the dumbell bench can feel fine.
 
I agree with bluejay. DB presses are a little easier on the shoulders. You can more easily vary the width of your "grip" (distance between your hands), wider is not always better IMO, and there is also less inclination to bounce a bar off your chest - which usually leads to hyperextending the anterior delts. Good luck in the recovery!
