I'm on the verge of injuring my right shoulder, no outright pain yet but get a weird feeling in it every time I lift my arm above shoulder level. Started off barely there so I ignored it and kept lifting but over a week it's intensified to this point.
What's the best way to manage this potential injury without giving up lifting for too long? I'm thinking I'll give benching and other shoulder-involved exercises a rest for about a week and then lift really light, just enough to maintain my current muscle mass till it heals, but that's based purely on my personal brand of bro-science, so I'll take advice from anyone who's been in the same situation before.

I was in the same boat and fish oil and multivitamin saved my ass. Also i think you are over training your shoulders and they are not getting adequate rest so look into your routine and make some changes there

Yep. Overworked tendons shoulders or just the 'strong' side over activated.
I did the same thing, eased back weight for awhile.
But I was making so much gains! Ohp, snatching, rows, benching. It felt good but I noticed a small sharp pain in right shoulder deep in joint somehow.
One day doing bench warming up to max something went and it felt like a hot knife stabbed me inside joint under the muscle.
Rested a week. Tried lifting and the pain was hot, on any lift middling weight.
2 months off pain was still there.
A couple more months I could lift 40% of what I was doing but the pain was there to remind me of a certain threshold that I wouldn't cross.
Many years later I feel like I'm about 80% and feeling good about lifting.
But I figure I'm as strong as I'll ever be, big as I want to be, which is far beyond everyone I can think of in my life.
I do alot of mobility work and kettles and heavy mace swinging with shoulder rotation exercises.
I flew too close to the sun. I didn't listen to my body. I do better at it now.
Don't take your body for granted.

Do more presses vs raises, the deep tendon fibers are lacking. You're stressing the wide grip shits without building a base where you're weak. Also try different grips, neutral is always less likely to put the strain on fibers or rotate your joints weird. Full rom is your friend for super light rehab work. Also look into muscle imbalances, but this is how I fixed my shit after spamming rear delts did nothing.

>super light mid delt and pec fly circles and shit
>chest supported rows
>Y raises and facepulls and shit
Add weight at your own discretion. Also stretch, I can basically go from it hurts to do a jesus pose to able to have a decent workout in a day or less.

I fucked up my right shoulder recently doing ohp. Right shoulder makes a weird clicking only when doing ohp. Biggest mistake I made was working through it the next day and I made it way worse. It’s been 3 weeks of just working legs because there’s still a light dull pain and I don’t want to fuck it up even more. Going to probably try light upper body stuff this weekend to see where I’m at. Sadly will probably never do ohp again though it’s just not worth the injury.
