hi guys new to the site. i dont know if anyones heard about external rotation exercises but aparently thay can stop these nasty shoulder prolems. i was searching around internet cause i get some clicking in my left shoulder sometimes when doing benching or my shoulder warm ups (swinging arm around in a circle to my side). well just saw alot of sites saying these exercises help with shoulder problems so im giving it ago maybe it will help some of u too.

Think thats a bit of an old wifes tale mate!

Doing that will not take ANY of the stress of your shoulder joint when working out in the gym.

Welcome to the site BB, if your sgoulder is giving you pain lay off upright rowing, seated pulldowns to the back of the neck and press behind the neck as these can all lead to shoulder problems  

oh ok but im going to try it ayway just to see for myself no offence. and i dont do all them exercises i have read there bad for you and im very carfull about bb i dont want to be big if i mess up my body. and thanks for the wellcome

p.s dont get pain just clicking in left shoulder area

have u ever tryed them for a long time pj? cause u wont know if it works till u try it for a long time. also it said it will make u stronger in pushing moves like bench cause it stablising the shoulders. anyway im going to try these exercises and ill let u all know if it helps

Bigben - is the clicking actually in your shoulder joint - or is it in the clavical/rib joint?

yeah i think its that.... is that bad?   it feels and sounds like its on my shoulder blade just under coller bone

Yeah ive had the same problem - its to do with tightness in the rear trap area and other back muscles that are pulling your clavical (collar bone) and top rib joint too tightly together and restricting movement - will feel like a snapping/clicking pain. You need to deep tissue physio work mate - had the same prob myself - scrap the exercises and c a physio...

oh dam it ok mate thanks. should i stop training till its sorted? i got a traped nerve in my left trap too will that sort that out as well?

Regarding stopping training - I would just try and work around it - but it all depends on the severity of it. Get youself booked in witha good sports physion asap! As for you nerve that may be a separate issue - u need to get a consultation mate - You need to be seen in person to accurately diagnose...

in general,how much does a physio cost? do they charge by the hour?
i get this click every now and then but its nothing permanent.

ok mate will do.  im not going to stop training cause its not that bad only happens now and then and dont get any pain. thanks for the help  

I have suffered many shoulder problems because of weights and impact scrums/tackles in rugby.  There are many problems experieced with shoulders so much going on in that area and the very best advice has been given

I once had some clicking and a dull pain in my right shoulder but not i think in the same area as you , and went to a physio friend of mine , he stated on some occasions tendons can get pushed/pulled put of place and result in a clicking sound as they go back. I was advised to do some rotation exercises that help straighten everything out before training.

The exercises was touch your shoulder with your hand, then raise the elbow up straight in front of you
level with shoulder. Then circulate in small cirles clockwise and anti clockwise, this puts everything back in place.

It actually worked for me but i did work around the injury for a while and did not do any exercise where i felt pain. After a few weeks i restarted and was fine
i still do rotations as a warm up before i lift and have not experienced further problems.

ok thanks for the advise. sorry took so long to reply a was on hoilday for a while
