Lifting injuries

Ask around for a real good physiotherapist and go and do everything they say. I had a rotator cuff impingement in my left shoulder for months and my physiotherapist fixed it in a few days
Have great form. Watch https://stronglifts.com/deadlift/ , record yourself. Get people to review your form
Ice treatment, hot treatment. Turmeric (Curcumin) is a good anti-inflammatory. Allmax Allflex has Type II Undenatured Collagen. Helped my tennis elbow immensely

Yeah I screwed my back up too, to the point I couldn't walk right for a few months. Avoid sitting and stand as much as possible. Make sure your sleeping arrangement encourages good posture. Use proper forms on lifts. Get your spinal erectors strong as shit to prevent injury in the future. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWmGArQBtFI

Here's what helped me.

Check out the videos by Jeff Cavalier of Athlean-x on Youtube. It has tons of physiotherapy videos on the issues you mentioned.

Also, his workout program AX-1 (which I'm using right now) does a great job of not aggravating existing issues.

Another source is Moveu. They're on Instagram where they post free short videos. They have a website as well where they have programs and exercises geared specifically towards rehabilitation from $7 to $30 monthly subscription fee.

If you aren't afraid of needles there is a great new peptide called bpc-157 that works wonders for soft tissue (tendons, ligaments) repair. It helped me a great deal when I suffered from a shoulder injury, I was able to get back in the three weeks after I started using it which is damn near miraculous considering it should have taken 4 more months to heal.

I've been dealing with a lot of bullshit with my body. No acute injuries, but chronic postural problems and imbalances.

The best thing you can do is find qualified experts to help you navigate this. I would say that the Functional Range Seminars methodologies (FRC, etc.) are some of the best for restoring, improving, and preserving optimal joint function. They work with a lot of baseball teams, as well as with Westside Barbell.

A good physical therapist well-versed in FR would be your best bet. An FR-certified trainer can be extremely helpful, too.

Do it hurt while doing pull ups? Is the pain on your shoulderblade, area between T1 and T6 spine? Is pain shaped horizontal line?

I had a pretty bad deadlifting injury. Went to Physiotherapy after about a month of real discomfort and she sorted me out in a couple weeks. There is still some tenderness but I’m back doing squats and deadlifts. Get to Physio!

Pay for someone that knows their shit to teach you form. Go multiple times to see them until you get it down. If you don't bench properly, you're fucking done.

And I tore part of my shoulder doing lateral raises wrong. So I'd learn that too if you're going to do them. Have to get surgery, but that's literally the only lift I can't do so I never bothered with it.
