Shoulder pain after squats

c130 · 05-06-2005, 07:47 PM

The day after i do squats i have a really bad pain in my left shoulder for about 3-4 days

Its not muscular pain it feels more like ligaments/tendons

I have limited use of my left arm over this time, i struggle to pick things up with just one arm, cant even use both hands to wash my face (it really is that bad)

Ive had a couple of people check my form when squating and they didnt see anything wrong

Last week i lowered the weight when squating and concentrated on form and was in the same pain the next day

Anyone experienced anything like this before?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

could it be that the pressure of the weight going through the bar on to your shoulders that you are crushing something???

i get this everynow and then. dont kno if its the same but mine is caused my scar tissue build up in my shoulder blade. only ever the left hand side. a deep and pretty painfull massage sorts it right out tho.

Worth ago mate.

yeah i,ve never heard of anything like this bfore,

be careful though, you dont want to **** yourself up.

some people use padding or a towel

When I first started doing heavy squats I used to get a numbess or tingling in the arms but nowhere near as bad as you. A good padded towel sorted me out...

Might help
