ok so i was working out with a friend of mine. i usually bench 150 lbs 4 times. i wanted to do a faliure set at 150 lbs. well i was able to put the 150 up 5 times by myself. when i told him i wanted him to help me on this rep he said ok so i brought it down. when i got to the bottom my left arm went limp i dropped the weights on my chest. my buddy helped me get it up. its been bout 2 weeks now and i went to work out cuz it didnt hurt anymore but i put a small amount of weight on just to make sure. i couldnt even lift it and then my shoulder started to kill me again. do u think i ripped a muscle of pulled something? like its kinda hard to put my arm straight up in the air. any help would be great. thank you..

Sounds like a cuff problem. Did it feel like it slightly dislocated?

Oh and prob should be in the injury section :P

Hello Mate

I doubt if you have torn or ripped the muscle as you wouldnt have been able to do much at all in the 2 weeks since you done it.

The pain would have been to much and you would have gone to your GP.

I expect its a nasty sprain, i think you mean your delt yes, not your shoulder?

Leave all upper body weight for a week and then slowly get back into it, starting light and working back up.

Remember to stretch and warm up well before you start.

well it hurts more torward the top of my arm like on the front of my shoulder. its weird. if i do to much with it it does kill. or if i reach up for something it hurts. theres no pain unless i do something. im able to move it around and stuff like that just not upward. thats whats confusing me. im glad to hear that you dont think its a rip. thanks guys ill def stay off the upper body for a week. thank you.

Ditto. I have that problem, although mine was due to playing football (soccor to the American's).

ok so i now have someone with the same prob kinda good. ok so do u work out with it that way or do u try to sty off it for bout a week then get back on it? i have ankle injuries from playing my soccer (your football. we shall just call it football. but yea if you could tell me how you deal with your arm doing that that would be awsome.

I rested it for 2 weeks and trained lighter than usual. In reality, you don't have a choice to train any heavier because it kills.
