Shoulder pain after lifting

Thats AC joint, you could have strained it with overhead press/push movements. Back of from overhead pushing movements, put some anti-inflam gel on it am/pm for 1 week, rest, and lots of chest stretches, and shoulder stretches. You could have also strained the rotator cuff muscles, and getting referred pain. Either way, back off weights, and lots of stretching. If not better after 1-2 weeks, you should see someone. May be get a good massage as well.

You should probably see a doctor not lift through it like stated above. If you tare some shit in your shoulder that youd need surgery you'll never have proper mobility in it again

I had the same pain a few years back. It never went away so I had an MRI which showed a bone spur. I had surgery with 6 weeks of recovery. I was lucky it didn't cause more damage. Get checked out!

/r/fitness is a better place for this question.

But... try doing low weight lat raises. I do 10# lat raises. Tons of them. Helps keep delt issues away and flexibility in the shoulder area.

Standing Barbell OHP is king but for many they need to do seated dumbbell OHP until they get some shoulder strength built.

de load and see if it subsides, if not get to a doc

Shit old and pushing too hard will fuck you every time work up to the shit slow Rambo

Is it shit technique or just being shit old and pushing too hard?

Probably all three. OHP is extremely technical. I have to be very careful doing it, and even then I still hurt myself. Get someone to give you a form check.

I have had success getting injuries healed up by using neoprene wraps. Search on amazon for "shoulder neoprene". If it doesn't resolve soon, see a doc.

Sounds like AC joint. Heavy OHP and even bench are the biggest culprit. Just got done with 4 months of PT for this on my right shoulder. I've also read that if you are prone to AC problems you should NEVER do dips.

Try dropping the weight and raising the reps for a while. Rotator cuff exercises are your friend. I have a SLAP tear which put me out of lifting for 2 months. surgery was suggested but didn't do it and 6 months later doing regular rotator cuff exercises and dropping the weight for a bit and now my shoulders are stronger than ever and no pain

If it's not exactly at the end of the clavicle, but about 1-2cm towards the back of the shoulder, it's probably weak rear delts. They usually lag behind, since most movements don't really punch in there.

Yea, I called it a shoulder pointer. I kept lifting through it. I adjusted from a sitting military press to a standing and I took 2 weeks off from my barbell incline press and did push ups with my feet on about a 30-40 degree incline. No more pain. I think I was tweaking it getting my weight out the hole on military press.

I also adjusted my grip on my pull to chins and deloaded there for a week.

My pain has subsided even though my lifts are all at higher weights now.
