Ok, so I just moved to NY, and I get a free membership at the local YMCA because I'm in the military. So I go there for the first time, ready to hit up shoulders hard and heavy. I start out, as usual, with a light warmup set on front shoulder press with 135. However, this shoulder press rack is a little different than the one that I had been used to. The bar is a little farther back than normal. I thought nothing of it and then started the set. On the liftoff... *CRACK* goes my left shoulder. I have never broken a bone, but I must say, for a split second, I thought I had.
Anyways, I figured out how to get around the liftoff problem (just stick my ass out and lean like I'm doing an incline press), but I was wondering what I should do for rehab. I tried to hit flat bench this week, but my shoulder said no and that was that.
Should I just wait it out, or should I see a doctor? I don't know what the symptoms would be for a torn rotator cuff, but my shoulder only seems to hurt (from what I've found thus far) when I do flat bench.
