Shameless self-bump

If it hurts to train chest then don't do it. You're fucking your shit up more. Go see a message therapist or even physio fix your shoulder and chest.

I had a lower tricep tear that was kinda small but painful. Physio and Doctor didn't care much and told me to take time off to heal it. In 2 months it never really healed the same and scar tissue formed (which isn't elastic like muscle so it hurt to lift). I talked to a personal trainer that is the biggest guy in the gym and he showed me how to foam roll my arm using PVC pipe to break down the scar tissue and let regular muscle tissue heal it. 4 days later I was 100%

Point is Doctors don't know shit about sport injuries. All they will tell you is to stop lifting, they won't give you rehab to keep lifting and heal. Go talk to a knowledable personal trainer or message therapist. Maybe even a physio just to make sure nothing crazy is happened and it's just muscle related.
Anyways good luck and yes injuries suck ass.

Leg-day it is then.
Fuck I miss working my chest tho

rotator cuff injury maybe?

Right behind the left collarbone. Happened after a hard impact, don't think it's a rotator cuff injury I'm afraid. Closer to the neck than shoulder tbg

tldr: hurt my shoulder playing a sport and got x-rayed but nothing way broken. I guarantee your tendons and ligaments are fucked, and I wasnt even able to comfortably do a push-up for over 3 months.
It has been about 4 months since that incident and I'm able to do push-ups again comfortably and I'm on the road to rebounding, but Goddamn has the damage been done.
You probably have a clavicle sprain if your arm feels better when you put it at a 90 degree angle and hold it close to your stomach.

Wait 2 months, then gradually (and I mean GRADUALLY, unless you want another 2 months off) work you way back into your usual routine. It sucks, but you have to let injuries heal.

>>42688107
this is prolly bro science. but with injuries i always look for a muscle stretch that will make it hurt and then i hold that stretch for 5 sets of 30 secs. in my meme head i tell myself it's promoting healing by sending warm blood to the injured area but i dunno.

Do you feel pain when usikg very high reps and low weight ?

>>42688107

its very easy. If you can find any pressing excersises with a weight where you dont feel any pain, you can slowly ease into it. No need to take a 2 month break if you can find this. If its not possible, then cool it down and let things settle abit. Maybe do some re-hab, possibly go to a physio or something.

>>42688107
Start off with body weight exercises. Retaining proper mobility is important while you regain strength. Doing slow presses against the wall can be a more beneficial route as you experience tissue healing. Also doing poses where your wrists are engaged automatically engages your shoulders, so if you can hold various positions for a minute or so you should then move on. Think of it as you don't need to lift in order to start lifting proper again.
