ok i just noticed something quite important (i guess):
i’m walking around topless in my house because it’s really hot, and my dad just looks at me and goes ‘what the fuck is wrong with your shoulder?’
And apparently my right shoulder (right side - where my pec is smaller) is sloping down very noticeably. I don’t know how i missed this, it felt if anything my left side was sloping down.
Anyway i know the cause for my right shoulder sloping down, I have been carrying about a 15kg bag around for college over my right shoulder.
So now i have most probably found out the cause, can anyone help me? [/quote]
Refer to my post again. This is not due to your back pack. Its most likely due to a tear in somwhere in your shoulder. Mine never hurt when my shoulder was fucked, it simply wouldnt get as stimulated during training and i would sometimes get numbness going down the whole hand. Simply go to a doctor, get a scope, if nothin is torn then you go back to training in 2 weeks, if not then you foudn the problem. Too many people are afraid to go see the doctor for an injury as if the month they will have to spend away from the gym is worth a year of shitty progress due to the injury
Well I am going to see a physiotherapist on monday…
How did you injure yourself? I never get numbness in my arm or anything and I have never done an exercise where it made me hurt in some strange way.
The only thing I have EVER done in the gym to make me consider that I may of injured myself was when I was doing dips with 110lbs and felt a ‘twinge’ in my right pec, that was about 7 months ago.

exactly what happened to me, i tree planted for 3 years, it was my second year, reached into my back holder for a tree felt a twinge, thought nothing of it and had a 1 and a half of ongoing problems.
think about it like this, if it was your backpack your shoulder would actually RISE because you would have a stronger, tighter trap on that side, it wouldnt lower it. something is messed in your shoulder and it is to hard to diagnose shoulder problems over the internet.

i think it just depressed my scapula if anything, my right trap has became slightly stronger than my left too.
anyways i think i’ve solved the problem now, i did a chest workout yesterday, and keping aware of my shoulder and raising it ever so slightly has put all the emphasis onto the pec, so the movement feels even on both pecs.
now to make it catch up with the other, i will just do a set of decline db presses before every chest and shoulder workouts.
I am still going to the physiotherapist to help with my shoulder.
if anything changes ill let you guys know, thanks for the advice so far.
