greppstark Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So I armwrestled pretty much some weeks ago and some days after I had some shoulder pain and it stil hurts when I perform some exercises like bench press. How do i do to get the pain away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Rotator cuff pain? Arm wrestling will hit your tendons hard if you do too much too quick, that's why I'm strengthening my tendons now for later on. Try side pressure work with bands mate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 some ligth resistance exercises for reps (for example exercise band) in different planes tend to help, especially before lifting wts if you are planning on doing that. Also some stretching. I might make a vid for this later to show you what I'm talking about. Seems to be a very common problem. You can modify your bench press for now with elbows in and see if it helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greppstark Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks guys! That would be great if you could do that Evan. Maybe stretching also helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 If it's your rotator cuff, hit the Ibuprofen and just leave it alone for a few days. You want the swelling to go down so you don't continue to irritate it. After that, start doing some light rehab work. Just speaking from personally experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys! That would be great if you could do that Evan. Maybe stretching also helps? yes stretching tends to help from what I've seen and my experience with my injuries. this is just to give you some ideas of different exercises you can try with an exercise band and see if it helps. A little bit of discomfort is usually ok but they shouldn't be too painful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AXu6TFNnR4&feature=youtu.be Edited July 29, 2015 by Evan Raftopoulos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
