Close Grip problem

[G Rambo34]

i was doing a close grip bench press yesterday, doing like 8 reps. i was doing it fast and all of a sudden my left shoulder cracked and shifted into a different postion. immdiatley i started feeling alot of pain and had to rack it up as my shoulder popped back into place. i now realized that this happened because i didnt position my elbows against my side. but now when i attept to do a military press my shoulder hurts coming down and when i do like a tricep pushdown my shoulder hurts, but there is no pain when i lift it up. anyway everything is fine, its just soreness now and everything feels back into place. but has anyone ever expericned this?

sharp, shooting pain is nature's way of telling you to cut that the **** out.

stop all upper-body lifting, immediately, and investigate what really happened to your shoulder, take the time to make sure you know what happened & what will fix it. i suggest a doctor, this is the sort of thing they're good at.

if you insist on self-diagnosis, start here:

ask crazyasian why trying to lift your way through a shoulder injury is a Bad Idea

basically what happened was i disloacted it and it immidiately popped back in. which is why it is sore today. should i not lift today?

scroll down my link. a dislocated shoulder is nothing to sneeze at.

I know what your talking about. The same exact thing happend to me when I was doing incline dumbell presses a while ago. it scared the **** out of me. I stopped lifting for a while and after 3 weeks I resumed lifting. I say warm up before lifting weights.

i agree with guaya although 3 weeks might be long if you're on a strict regimen.

the next session (try to give yourself a few days break, seems like it's been 2 days since this happens so maybe another day or two) start _really_ slow with low weights warming up, and start to up it from there. if everything seems normal, you should be good.

if it still hurts like a *****, i think a doctors visit is going to be worth it in the long-run so you dont seriously **** up anything and take months to fix
