Today is Monday 24th March 2008.

Yesterday was not a great day.

My little nephew is staying with my folks and as a result the safety gate has been put up at the bottom of the stairs.

I opened the safety gate by pulling up and over with my right arm and suddenly pain in my right rotator cuff.

Today the pain is not good when doing anything that involes outward, lateral movements like putting seatbelt on, doing up belt, putting clothes on etc.

Meant to be training chest today. Went to gym. Not good. Did a few light sets on a seated machine which gave me no pain. Free weights are a NO NO due to other muscle recruitment and stabilisation.

Not really the best start to this particular phase.

I did the exact same thing when carrying the hoover upstairs a couple of years ago.

This will put me back now so shoulders and chest a real NO NO. Back and anything pulling is fine, legs too will be fine but will have to see how front squats feel.

A little down but philosophical.

Everything happens for a reason and although its depressing to think how it was caused, its just one of those things.

On a positive note Matt was very strong today and smashed through his best from last week so all was not lost today in the gym.

I must admit I felt strong today but my shoulder said NO.

Rest is all in need (with a few rotator exercises) and I should be good to go in 4 weeks time (full strength)

Just goes to show, 230 deads and 160 front squats aren't the problem its the bloody stair gate that does the damage!!!:(

Dont worry about the pain mate

It will go just rest it.

I thought my rotator was done in when I had my MRI and it was nothing like that at all.

My surgeon said that it takes a considerable force with guys our size to do major damage to rotator cuff.

Lol! Bloody sods law mate. Don't let it get you down.

kboy · 24-03-2008, 01:20 PM

I feel for you m8, the last thing you want to do is rest, I had a simlair problem this year, thought it was rotator cuff but turned out to be small ligament tear, I went back too early and put myself further back, for me 7-8 weeks of not pressing movements done the trick..
I now take glutamine sulphate on a regular basis, I'm not as young as I used to be

I'm sure you will be fine, just try to rest it, easier said than done I know..
Good luck.....

DB · 24-03-2008, 02:00 PM

sorry to hear that James :(

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Just returned from the pub.

I cant use my right arm but I managed to eat a chicken breast wrapped in bacon, smothered with mozzerella and floating in a tomato and basil sauce, oh yeah and a mountain of chips, with no trouble at all.

Life isn't SO bad.

I looked at it this way; I could have still been dieting too, then it really would have been sh1t!!

jjb1 · 24-03-2008, 05:00 PM

best of luck with that injury, ive had my fair share and know how frustrating they can be

still its nice you can train some things to keep the body ticking

estfna · 24-03-2008, 08:09 PM

unlucky mate. best of look with the recovery, but it's always the way it happens, pressing stupid heavy weights all the time with no probs and then a stairgate catches you...

Hi Tom,

I know you are right mate. I have just strained something there. Altho painfull in certain places (with slight resistance) I do have full ROM so know I haven't done anything too serious.

Looking forward to seeing you on friday mate. Ironically we are training shoulders on friday. Hopefully it will be a little better than and I will be able to do some light pressing movements with machines; I found that last time this was absolutely fine and helped it recovery.

Anyway we will talk some more in the week, just let me know what you ETA is so Matt and I can be there. No probs with you kipping over either.

speak soon

J
