Been solidly hitting the gym for over a year and a half now.
Make a point to train all muscle groups equally.
Gradually, started to notice lateral raises were becoming painful, but only on my left shoulder.
Ignored it, and just avoided the exercise, or did it with very light weights.
Then the bench press (only on a barbell) started to produce a sharp pain in my left shoulder when the weight was high.
So I stuck to dumbell bench press and ignored it.
I recently asked a friend for advice, and he advised the following exercise:
Since doing a few sets of those with moderate weight every day for a week...
My shoulder is now fucked.
Bench press is excruciating, not just on the barbell but dumbbell now.
Shoulder / military press caused no problem before, but is now too painful to perform.
This means that I can no longer train shoulders or chest at all until it is sorted out.
To give you an idea, when I move it, there is a lot of clicking and pain.
Right shoulder is fine.
I really don't want any more bad advice which might end up making it worse.
Any one who knows what may have caused this / best course of action?
I'm going to be losing a lot of hard earned gains if I can't keep up my training.
Thanks in advance.
