FT Questions....

Wish I could do more than play the same old tune here, but really, you'll need to figure out what that pop is in your shoulder, i.e., what structure is popping.

My first guesses would be that it could be a cartilage issue. Secondly, it could be an impingement (supraspinatus or biceps brachii). You'll need to figure out what's wrong before you can go about fixing it.

If the broomstick stretch is helping, in the right measure, that's a good start of course.

Many people with shoulder issues (and other recurring, nagging "niggle-type" injuries) find that they need to do certain pre-hab exercises religiously in order to keep the injury from cropping its ugly head. So, if you can get it under control (some time away from the exercises that give you problem), you may be able to keep it that way (and move to back to those exercises).

So, as always, though, I'd check with a medical practitioner (same sorts of folks as I recommended just a few posts up, including also finding an orthopedist and perhaps an athletic trainer who can help figure out what's going on).

Hope you get it figured out!

(If this helps, I had a nagging pop under my knee cap many years ago that went on for well over a year and kept me from training legs properly. When I finally stayed completely away from doing the things that aggravated it, got the issue under control, I was eventually able to move back to training as I had been. )

Thank you!

I read this and forgot to respond to it.

It's a lot better now. I've started pressing a lot slower and stayed away from heavy direct shoulder presses.

Still beating the logbook on dips MRs [emoji3]...

This cruise I just started should help a lot with recovery. I know what exercise caused it to tbh.

It was the machine chest press which I got up to doing an entire stack+ for a MR, and gave me fantastic growth. I want to get back to this exercise post cruise hopefully...
