Does this ever heal on it's own?
What the frick can you do about shoulder impingement? My whole left arm feels loose, weak and shoulder is none stop clicking, tendons flicking and I can't really use the whole arm. Always inflamed. It's been over 3 months now.
a small issue with inflammations? a huge tear? dislocation? depends. it sure as frick takes hell long time to heal though.
Inflammation and likely a minor tear of some kind.
Very likely to heal on its own, but antagonizingly slow. I'd try to have the problem muscle as relaxed as possible, I'd identify which movements use that muscle the most and try to do those as little as possible avoiding flexing and stretching it to high capacity, like as if my entire arm is in a cast. In example I had an issue with my lateral a bit ago, tilting head forward or to sides would flex and hurt for hours. I did all I can, I even slept without a pillow for a month to keep it relaxed over the entire night.

i got impingement as well a couple of months back, probably from weighted ring pushups. since a month ago after visiting a physio i've cut down most pressing, currently only do maschine pressing with limited ROM which lets me push hard and get a good chest pump without annoying my shoulder. i do pump work for external and internal rotation, just do get blood into the small muscles.
you just gotta step back and focus on other things if you can, and do the bare minimum of the stuff that aggravates your shoulder. pulling works for me so i go hard there, same with legs replacing back squat with belt squat. it takes time, my physio said end of summer if i take it easy and keep up the rehab type stuff. see a physio if you haven't.
>probably from weighted ring pushups
Mine were from dips most likely. Similar movement.
unfortunately i'm literally moronic and tried weighted pushups again today, wanted to see if i could do it once per week. but it fricked my shoulder hard, couldn't raise my arm without pain for a while after doing them.
important thing really is if it hurts or aggravates your shoulder, don't do it. some discomfort is probably OK during movements, but if it lingers and especially if you feel it the day after, cut it out. just gotta be patient. and keep up the small rehab stuff to get blood into the muscles.
It's funny that you guys have worse injuries than actual athletes because of your meme ego lifts lmao.
>you don't understand, I NEED to do exercises designed for 100% conditioned pro athletes that are 10 years younger than me because the internet says so!
>Everyone goes down to 90 degrees but I HAVE to go down until I can kiss the back of my hands because it is so EVERYTHING!
lo lmao
Calisthenics is a huge mistake. Especially if youre coming to it from lifting, applying your high strenght high intensity mind into it its a guaranteed injury in some of the worst places imaginable.
Frick calisthenics.
I find that the people that get the most injuries from dips come from bench pressing, or like what is mentioned further up in the thread, they go below 90 degrees and try to maximize rom.
Bench pressing reduces your shoulder range of motion over time, and doing a dip with that reduce range of motion, your shoulders aren't ready to go beyond that range of motion, so you snap your shit up.
Some people are also just unlucky. I did squats and tore my hip labrum, for example.
Yeah thats what I mean. You instinctively try to max out weights and rip. If only you'd take it on the side as a training for mobility it kinda would do things.
>it works as well as weight training for perfomance
I can train my upper half with rows and facepulls with perfectly identical movements that hit the exact same locations and heads, with perfect kg by kg control on the weight I am pulling while being in perfect safety to go all out max out to failure with practically zero risk to injury.
Getting gains in calisthenics as effective as this? Cali cant even hope to dream of that sort of standarts, hence snapcity. Do cali for mobility or functional strenght. I do it when I have to because I dont have access to gym for a time. Whatever. But its simply impossible cali can compete in strenght progress to the super optimised lifts.
What mobility or functional strength? Really what is"functional" about a pullup or pushup? You do yoga for flexibility moron
nice reading comprehension bud. cheers.
>Calisthenics is a huge mistake.
It isn't, it works as well as weight training for perfomance, with a fraction of the monetary costs.
You just have to be of at least average intelligence and think a little about progression, programming and biomechanics.
clueless. actual athletes are injured quite frequently, and a lot of it is much worse than impingement. which a very large percentage of strength athletes experience at some point in their career. stay small you seething loser.
I also got this from dips. My shoulders were clicking for months and with no pain I didn't care and was doing a lot of OHP, and dips daily. I took a week and half off, I tried using my shoulders everyday and by the 5-7 day I think I'd have been fine working out again just not so much pressing.
I got mine shoulder impingent from doing lateral raises about 4 months ago.
Slow controlled full range overhead pressess are the cure.
Just trust me.
I started 5x5 last week and now my right shoulder hurts after squatting. Not even the back, no i hurt my shoulder somehow. Now I'm scared ffs
>right shoulder hurts after squatting
why?
Not sure. I have no muscles on my upper back/shoulders so maybe the bar just rested on my bones and that was too much. Or my grip was too narrow.
Your shoulders have no bones so thats not possible. You mean to say the muscle.

i got this doing overhead press (freeweights) and not warming up properly. It was literally because the gym was packed and i didn't want anyone to think I was a pussy with warmup lifts. Took a couple months for the pain to go away, and several years before I could do overhead press again
