shoulder clicking

[theatrain]

Whenever I raise my right hand up my right shoulder hurts. I feel a sort of clicking and a pain comes and sometimes when im resting my elbow on my center consol in my car i get it, its just certain movements. I actually just got sent home by my weight training teacher he said he is not sure what it is, but I couldnt even do incline dumbell press with 5lb dumbells. He wasnt sure what it was , but after attempting to do Incline Bench with my regular weight it was too much. im going to the doctor in a few hours just wondering if anyone knows what it could be

Sounds like some impingement issue, either supraspinatus tendonitis or a combination of rotator cuff stresses. Lie face up and have someone stretch out your shoulder capsules and upper pecs...just have them apply pressure on your shoulders, hands at 45 degrees and push down steadily and slowly, do sets and reps, feel it stretch but dont push so hard the joint pops out!! Bicep tendons will also be tender, so expect a bit of discomfort! Do you do enough work on rear delts, infraspinatus and teres, as all these balance the shoulder joint in the socket. Clap press ups and standing arnold press also help strengthen serratus, which also pulls the scapula into place - again helping posture and shoulder joint position

i had a similar problem. Consistant stretching and excerise is key in keeping mine from giving me problems.

What did the doctor say?

Make sure your workouts are balanced. In other words, if you are doing a like a total of 1000lbs of bench/chest volume, make sure your back workout volume is equal. I had the same clicking issue back then when I over did one group over the other, causing an imbalance. So in other words, work your antagonist muscles.

I find my shoulder clicks once in awhile, but it doesnt seem to affect my lifting.

I had a similar problem. A physio taught me how to set my shoulder correctly and now my posture's sorted it no longer happens.
