hey guys so i was doing chest two days ago, and i felt this pain in my right shoulder (rotator cuff) area...anyway i was putting up 225 for my 6-8 reps and that shit really hurt...so today i had to go the gym, because if i dont i feel like a slob...and i did light weights for my back, some of the exercises i did feel minor ache in my shoulder...he is my question


as long as i decrease weight on any exercise that affects my shoulder will i be able to repair it while still lifting???? i WILL NOT stop going to the gym, and i CAN NOT stop lifting...i train with this dude he advised me not to go today and i wouldnt have it...

anyway one else had similiar injuries and tell me if i am just making it worse....

i would rather sacrifice a couple of weeks on upper body training then hurt myself and be out for a year....

sorry i know that was long...but i need help!!!! my muscles are at stake haha
 
trust me, stop if you can. I was in the same boat as you. Getting ready for a state comp and throwing around 450 fairly easy. I've tore my RC twice back in HS playing football and am very used to pains in my shoulder. Last june I was repping 410 and ended up feeling a sharp pain in my trap and RC area. Not thinking much about it because normally going that heavy you will have some pains. My body was telling me to quit but I felt I couldn't (like you said) Anyways, I didn't take any time off and the next week went to the gym and benched ended up tearing my trap, lat, pec and sub scap. It's been since june 5th and I am just starting to bench 135 for reps! When you get hurt, the only thing you should do is time off. Trust me, 2 weeks off in the gym is much better than me having to sit out for almost a year. What would you rather do? I went from benching more than anyone in my weight class (198), to lifting weights that I lifted in middle school!! If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have asked people what they though on the forums and just went to the doc to check things out. If it is your RC, that's fairly simple to fix. I went to PT and it was a matter of weeks before I got back into lifting. get it checked out, it's worth it.
 
It's quite impossible to answer your question w/o knowing what's wrong inside your shoulder. It may require an mri to actually know the extent of the injury.
