Well /fit/, there goes my entire lifting career. I have a impinging nerve when I depress my right scapula, meaning no more squats, no more deadlifts, no more heavy rows if I depress my scapula doing them, no more OHP over ~110lbs, no more pullups/lat pulldowns, and no excessively pinching my back when I bench/incline bench because it could pinch the nerve.

That's basically lifting in general. Any continuous lifting like this could cause permanent nerve damage.

What do I even do at this point?
>>
yank it out with a pair of pliers

Just learn not to depress your scapulae.
Its not that difficult, is it?
And it doesnt mean it lasts forever. It mostly means you fucked up, technique wise.
>>
>>40257477
You arent suppse to depress scapulae during the squat, OHP, rows, pull ups or bench. You dont need to depress it during deadlifts. It helps your deadlift to depress them. But its not a vital part of the tecnique.
Stop being a bitch

>leg press/leg extension (both)
>rows, back extension
>don't depress scapula/do seated low rows
>ohp <100 lbs and do other shoulder exercises
>use that weird high rows arm swinging machine
>don't pinch back all the way when benching, just enough to keep scapula flat and not flaring

You can work around it op. There's literally no reason for you not to continue lifting. You'll never powerlift, and will probably never be a bodybuilder, but you can still lift without agitating it. Find shit you can do and do it.

Remember, lifting is about the end goal, not what specific lifts you did to get there.

I don't actively depress my scapula when I squat, but even a high bar squat pushes down and pinches the nerve. Do a quick OHP and come down with it, no weight just move your arms. What do your shoulder blades do? Now imagine that with weight. I'd have to settle for pendlay rows because bent over rows are going to depress them suckers. Pullups depress and bench also pinches the nerve for some reason.

I saw an orthopedic specialist about this, it's a done deal. Got an MRI and everything. I don't think you know better than a medical specialist that probably sees athletes every day.

It's kinda fucked up considering the fact the guy probably (definitely) died. It should not be this funny, or funny at all, and yet here I am giggling like a preteen girl unable to stop laughing when I see it.

What the fuck is wrong with humans?

>Do a quick OHP and come down with it, no weight just move your arms. What do your shoulder blades do?
I had a issue with this. I got long forearms so i cant do a full ROM with touching my chest as it gives me shoulder ain. which is why i just learn how to keep my shoulders in position and keep getting Rs wihtout any pain.

Its really simple.
MRI are known for being shit. I will happily post pictures and resourches to show how shit they are at discovering pain and reasons for pain.

If you want it, you will find a way.

The physiotheray community and doctors are currently struggling because people in pain doesnt have higher frequency of structural problems and asymptomatic people.

>>40257548
idk but i love the way the picture captures the motion and urgency of the guy, like shit's going down

but then there's that girl freaking out over there and it cracks me up

And surgery arent any more effective than sham surgery. The most effective methods are strength trainign for the vast majority of the pain population.

>>40257623
i wonder how this changes in people who lift
>>
>>40257634
not much. People lift with these issues. With no pain

>>40257477
Thats what you get for doing crossfit

You're a genetic failure if your body can't even put its nerves in the right places to avoid impinging itself.
>>
>>40257528
So just front squat? Zercher squat, bulgarian split squat, behind the back deadlift, see if you can find a safety squat bar. Tried weighted pushups?

I had a shoulder impingement, i was told i would be on anti inflammatries and painkillers for months, and to go gently, don't do anything heavy.

I watched a few youtube therapy vids and fixed it myself within 2 weeks.

don't believe everything your doctor tells you.
