Bit paranoid recently as I have clicks in my knees, arms etc, which I know are normal(ish), but also my shoulder (also normal probably), but then I got paranoid reading about clicking in the shoulder (not painful), have full ROM, but got paranoid about it being a labral tear as I read some have clicks, but I guess with no pain, aches etc should be cool? Overconcerned?

It’s a funtional impingement with reduction.
Your weak RC muscles are not holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid labrum, so when you move your arm, the GH joint translates (moves out of the cup) instead of rotating within it.
As the head of the humerus reduces back into the glenoid labrum, you wil hear a small noise as air is suddenly displaced.
But if you are still concerned, drive over to my clinic in Cardiff and I’ll do a full exam and body MOT if you want

Thanks so much for the reply. What would you suggest to do to help the click. Presumably RC internal’/external rotations can help? I did get an osteopath and physio to look at it a while ago, but they said it was nothing significant. It does not click that often to really worry me, although my osteopath made an interesting comment that the reason as to why all these clicks were occurring were because I was growing (which I have been recently in height), and as my bone4se grow the tendons have to catch up. Suggestions would be great mate. There is no reduced ROM, pain or anything except for that click. Lots of people get clicks in the shoulder who do weights I know that much, The click does not occur on any of my exercises and the only OH exercise I do is DB bench press. You’ve made me worried now with that word ‘impingement’!! I only do my arms, chest, abs, rear shoulders and legs, and try to limit all OH pressing movements to avoid injury, as I want to lift well into my 30’s with any luck. I am never gonna compete, just want to have a good physique.
Thanks in advance.
bump, waiting for your valuable reply BBB.

BBB obviously knows his stuff, i hope whatever he can tell you is enough to help.
i did have a training partner though in a very similar situation as yourself, he had clicking in many joints including his shoulders and didnt think it any big deal. he was reassured that it was partly air and partly nitrogen bubbles by his physio, no worries. we talked over all this stuff while training, i got the whole 9 yards on it. he was 20 at the time and finishing his growth spurt like you.
however, apparently the nitrogen story was correct and he had a very bad experience, they (doctors etc) are not sure what caused it but apparently the nitrogen levels in his food were too high and this caused too much in his joint fluid which combined with some heavy training actually caused a sudden onset of local swelling in the joints that clicked. he was in bed for days and couldn’t move. they actually had to put him in a decompression chamber like they use for divers to get rid of the excess nitrogen. even worse, the inflammation restricted blood flow to the joints in parts and a great deal of the tissue in the joint capsule surface that excrete joint fluid apparently died, and dont regenerate quickly or at all. long story short, my mate now has chronic arthritis in many of his joints, some recurring and others constant, and he hasn’t been able to do real exercise since.
i’m sure that was a freak occurrence, but possibly, if you are really conservatively minded you might want to have your joint nitrogen levels checked or perhaps your diet with a nutritionist, and lay off the heavy exercise until you’re certain you don’t have elevated levels or the risk of something like this happening.
i know you say you dont get clicking in any of your exercises, but neither did my buddy, just during normal movement.
