I personally think it sounds more like an impingement, but shoulders aren’t my specialty yet and I’ve never had shoulder tendonitis, so I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I could explain it to you.
I would stick with dumbells instead of machine… just because machines suck… but hoenstly it’s up to you. I don’t see it being that big a difference
I think the main problem with this is that I keep injuring it and other body parts at work. Minor stuff bombs bruises and such.
I just wrote up a prescription in another shoulder thread, and thought of you, maybe check it out and see if you could structure your workouts like that.
I think it would be great for you.
Cool do u remember what the name of thread was been searching. I think this may have allot to do with my herniated discs. When I get a chance I’m going to start a new thread with more info can’t do it over my phone
Wait I found it I’m an idiot
pullaparts help me 2 and broomstick stretches, well at least 1 of those is helping.
also lots of fresh veggies(raw/steamed), search alkaline foods, they are natural relaxants, better than pills and whatever is tensed will benefit.
Get well soon !
So yesterday I did legs light nothing heavy and the shoulder did feel uncomfortable but not painful. I did I also there in light face pulls and lateral raises and they felt OK. I am definitely feeling way better than when this started. I have been doing the warm up routine that Larry suggested ( wish I purchased a foam roller long ago) as well as McKenzie stretches every 2 hours which leads me to think it was the disc herniation in my cspine ( another work injury)
why would benching with dumbbells bother my shoulder I thought they were good for your shoulders
Maybe neutral grip might be helpfull. Shoulders are complexes what works(neutral grip) for me is not OK for all.

Is it the front of the shoulder near your armpit? it could be a lot of things… could be tight biceps even… it’s very hard to say

I used a quasi neutral grip today and no issues. Used the machine for flat and incline over hand grip and dbs for another 3 sets of incline and jaf np issues. I suspect that I need to us lighter weight and slowly over time work up to heavy dbs. I guess I’m a slow healer. Also added in a few sets of light seated rows as Larry advised
keep updating with progress man… this might take a month or so… but I think we’ll figure it out
OK happy holidays all anyway so far so good. Did db squats rdls and rear foot elevated squats and no issues with my shoulder/neck. I have been following all the advice from Larry and others
