Originally posted by nrjizer So I've been getting in the gym again lately, but I'm having the same old problems with one of my shoulder joints and it's really driving me crazy. Whenever I do an incline fly/shoulder fly type motion, I have to really be careful as I'm extending because my left shoulder joint will pop and just let go, and my arm will drop with the weight in hand (I got a nice thigh bruise from a falling dumbell once). It doesn't actually dislocate, it just sort of pops out of position. It doesn't hurt when this happens unless I'm using a lot of weight, but I can still feel it in the joint. Even now, just sitting in my chair, if I sit up straight and swing my arms upward (i.e. doing the Y in the YMCA), my left shoulder joint will seemingly pop in and out of the motion, whereas my right shoulder joint just moves smoothly. I have no idea why this is. I've never had a shoulder injury, and it's been like this for as long as I've been going to the gym. And it's really getting bothersome because it limits my ability to lift weights (what my right arm could easily lift, potentially, would cause my left arm to give), and I'm afraid I will eventually injure myself. Does anyone have any fucking idea what could be causing this?

I get that too, it really fucks me off. Had it ever since I was a kid. That said, I have no idea what the hell it's actually caused by. A loose joint, or something?

Was this pic taken before, or after you freaked out on weed and called an ambulance?

what is wrong with your knee? if you can't run think about swimming.

And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I think all those workouts leading up to that fateful day helped my heart out in order to continue pumping even though I felt like it was gonna literally explode. I always thought if I was a fatass if that would happen because fatasses are more prone to heart attacks and they wouldnt survive 10 hits of weed in a matter of 2 minutes = true story for all those unbelievers still.

Meh, I need to start working out properly again.. in the last 2 or 3 monhts I went probably only twice to the gym. So I went yesterday again, and now I'm 4 kgs heavier than last December, and can only do the 1st set of reps on the weights I was used to. Guess that's not muscular mass then. :\

why the fuck are u running anyway? Ever heard of elipticals, bikes, stairmasters? Much better and less damaging than running. You get even better results from hitting the freeweights and doing core exercises.

Years of downhill skiing and mountain biking has fucked the joint I guess. I realize there are alternatives, and obviously I will modify my workout, I just really enjoyed running.
