Mike Rinderle Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 MRI results in. I now know why my shoulder has been so sore the past few months. But they could have saved time by telling me what wasn't torn or injured. Not sure if I should feel proud or stupid that I was able to get my bench back over 300 with all this damage.

Shoggoth Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 What caused this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Probably a combo of a lot of things. The final straw was reaching back over my head to lay my glasses on nightstand while laying in bed. But that was after a day I wide grip benched, which irritated it so... I pitched from age 8 to 16, played quarterback in junior and senior high, hurt both shoulders playing hockey, and now years of lifting. It finally just gave up I think.

Mike Rinderle Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Have to meet with doc this week. I'd like to get it fixed. Typically they don't fix them in people over 40 unless they are athletes. I turn 50 in a couple weeks, and I'm not sure you could really qualify me as an athlete.

You are a strength athlete for sure brother! I would get whatever I can fixed to continue doing what we do my man I you were up to it! Will not fixing it hinder you from continuing?

Mike Rinderle Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Pressing, rowing, and biceps training would be done. Squatting with straight bar too probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_wigren Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 All I could read from the report was ”small biceps” you should get that fixed ! On a serious note though I hope you get it fixed. Like Joseph said, you are a strength athelete. You need your chest, arms and shoulders for more than just sitting on the couch. If you explain that to the doctors they will hopefully consider fixing it through surgery or any other method they have available for treatment.

If you explain that to the doctors they will hopefully consider fixing it through surgery or any other method they have available for treatment. The first time I read it, that's all I saw too. Couldn't focus on anything else. "I'll show him biceps that are small in caliber!" Bwahaha. Did some research. Apparently, when the biceps tendon is smaller than normal, it means there COULD be a partial tear. Not always. They can't image it in that groove it lies in very well, so they use that as a proxy. Basically, I need a new shoulder. Unfortunately, according to modern medicine, the warranty is up on this one due to age. It will all come down to the doctor and what insurance will pay for. I'm hoping they will try to fix it. If not, I'll do some ballistic bench presses and some heavy cheat curls to totally destroy it. Then they'll have to fix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rinderle Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 No surgery. I don't meat the criteria. 4-6 weeks no pressing, prescription naproxin, and the same rehab exercises I've been doing. They did give me a little surgical tube band to do them with though. Lol Basically they don't operate on people my age unless it's debilitating. Call them when rotator cuff or biceps tendon completely blows. Went home and did 315 x 8 ballistic barbell rows.
