I've seen a hundred "muscle heads" in the gym that work out in a way that perpetuates shoulder injuries.  I typically reccomend doing military presses (if you do them ) to be done with your elbows slighty in front of you not out to the side as i always see.  I also recommend keeping your elbows near your body whenever possible...i.e. bench press, ect.  I also rec. doing external rotation exercises for the shoulder as a lot of exercises work the Internal rotators, which set you up for imbalance.  This can be done with dumbells with you ina side lyig postion, with your arm bent at 90 degrees and with your top elbow againt your rib cage lift/rotate the arm toward the cieling.  Ask a trainer how to do it.\n"No pain" ranges of motion with lighter weights until you can get to a normal ROM with heavier wieghts.

There have been several studies conducted on teen weight lifting that suggest that certain types of weight lifting may damage the epiphysis, or growth plate, of your bones. There is evidence that lifting heavy weight could speed up growth plate closure, which would stunt your growth.\n\nThat does not mean that you should not pump iron, you just want to avoid power lifting, competitive lifting and maximum lifts. You should use relatively lightweights and do 2-3 sets of no more than 15 repetitions. You should also try to limit your workouts to 3, half-hour sessions per week.\n\nIt is important to learn the basics of weight training from a qualified instructor and get medical clearance from your doctor before you begin. Learning the proper technique will help you avoid future injuries associated with weight training. Your instructor can also give you pointers for getting the most out of your workout. Check with your school, many physical education teachers are qualified in this area.\n\nHow long you should walk, how fast and what incline all needs to be determined by you. Keeping track of your heart rate (beats per minute) during exercise is the best way to meet your fitness goals without over doing it. Heart rate training is the pre-determined heart rate an individual should reach and maintain during exercise in order to improve the efficiency of the heart and lungs. The maximum heart rate for any one individual is dependant on many factors such as age, current level of fitness and goals to be achieved through exercise. The general rule for finding your maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. Your target heart rate would be 75% - 80% of this number.  \n\nTeenHealthFX recommends that you check with your doctor to determine what would be a safe heart rate since all individuals are different. Your doctor will also be able to advise you what to do if you have any medical conditions such as asthma.\n\nOnce you have determined a safe maximum heart rate you can begin training. If you are a beginner with the goal of improving overall fitness, losing weight or reducing stress, a healthy heart rate zone would be 50-60 percent of your maximum heart rate. You should gradually build up to a work out of 20 to 60 minutes. As your aerobic fitness increases the intensity of exercise will have to increase to keep the heart rate in the target range. Once you are in shape you can increase your performance to 70-80 percent of your maximum heart rate.\n\nIf this sounds complicated, do not worry it will come easy after some practice. In fact many aerobic machines such as treadmills, stationary bicycles and stair climbers have heart rate monitors built in. You can even buy a portable heart rate monitors that are no bigger that a wrist band, for outdoor training.\n\nRemember if you are going to exercise regularly always do a warm up followed by some stretching. After your workout take 5-10 minutes to cool down and do some more gentle stretching. Studies have shown that people who warm up and cool down adequately have far fewer injuries.

Working out to the point of being in pain is not good. Lifting until you can't lift any more is not good for the muscles. You are doing more damage that building. Your body uses the nutrients it needs to build muscle to heal the pain. \n\nIT is true that the muscle needs to reast before it lifts again. If you give your muscle a minute to rest between sets you'll be able to lift the same amount of weight more reps. \n\nIf your 'HUBBY' is trying to bulk up and is already in shape try superlifting. You start with the max weight and lift till you can't any more. Then drop the weight five or ten pounds. Lift that until you can't. Repeat process. This will use all of your muscle and build it up. Don't do more that once a week. Strain is bad.

That means you worked a little too hard.  You should be sore the next day and possible the one after that, but 3 days is too long.  Take it a little easy since youre just going back.  Also, make sure you stretch a lot because that helps with the soreness.  You should lift weight that you can do at least three sets of 8 with.  If you can't maintain that, go a little lower.  Once you get into it, you'll figure out what's a good treshhold for yourself.

Had to laugh at your expense, but I guess I owe you a serious answer.  One idea is that you could have overstreched your bum muscles (glutes) from lifting too many weights such as squats.  Did you help someone move recently and have to squat a lot?\n\nAnother idea is that you shoveled and twisted.  This is the kind of action like shoveling snow.  Lifting something heavy and twisting will hurt your bum/back muscles.\n\nI seriously had this pain while working in a foundry and went to massage therapist to get it worked out.  It still bothers me from time to time.  Go get it properly scanned if the pain continues.

Your body usually tells you when you have overdone, and yours apparently is.\n\nIf you have been doing nothing else that might bring on a backache, such as heavy lifting, it sounds like you just overdid.  \n\nMy home (not medical - as I am not a doctor) advice is put an Ice Pack on your back when it hurts.  Read the instructions on the Ice Pack so you don't cold burn your skin.  Then, in about 3 days, start doing your sit ups again - but do them in graduated amounts.  Like one set of 25 the first few days, and if the pain does not return, go up to 2 sets of 25 in the morning and 2 sets at night.  Then, in about a week, go back to your 100 at night, but still do them in sets of 25, with a short (about 5 deep breaths) rest in between.\n\nGo to the library and get yourself a book on exercise, as it take exercising more than the abs to get six packs.  Diet is also very important, as your body fat ratio has to be really low so the abs show.

You have totally tired out your muscles. If you want your muscles to grow, this is not the way to do it. You should do lift heavy weights slowly. \nFirst, select a weight and see that it is suitable for you ( meaning you won't feel that its so much of a strain that after lifting it for a few times, your muscles might tear). You can do it by lifting it a few times (SLOWLY) and see if your back aches, etc etc.\n\nThen you slowly lift it up 15 times with one hand and then switch to another and do the same. Do a few sets if you want but be sure to know your limit or you might tear your muscles.\n\nThere are different ways of lifting too to work your different muscles. \nAlso, when you feel that lifting that weight is getting easy (its not supposed to be too strenuous but it should not be too easy), you can just add more weights!\n\nHope I've helped!

Muscles can sore for a number of reasons and outside of overworking them and conditioning them for regular exercise there are a few other things that can be the culprit.  One BIG one is not performing the exercises correctly or not positioning yourself (setting up equipment) correctly.  Then using too much weight can cause damage so be cautios.  Using too much weight usually causes you to use ballistic movements to complete repetitions (jerking the weights to complete the move).  Then there is the buildup of lactic acid that the body gets from exercising the muscles - this is where massage can help too move the lactic acid out tof the muscle fibers and also break apart twisted and tight muscle fibers.  Then consider propere hydration - drink a lot of water, you will feel better.   Be sure you are taking in a proper amount of proteins and have a good diet so that you muscles recover and rebuild properly.  Don't forget to stretch and warm up before a workout AND don't forget to stretch at the END of you workout.  Lastly, make sure you have a well rounded work out and use a regular schedule; you should never let more than three days lapse between a workout and if you are serious you should try for every couple of days.

You're overdoing it. Be sure to do as much as you can without hurting yourself. Try to do a long set. You may have a hernia. Better get it checked out.

My daughter & I both get a sharp shooting pain through our right shoulder. It feels like your being electricuted. I asked the doctor about it & she said it's mild nerve damage that should correct itself with exercise.

it could be muscle soreness, but this usualy occurs the following day.\n\nthe most likely factor is that you are not following proper form doing your exercises. this is generally 90% of the problem especialy if your back and neck is involved.\n\nif you go to a gym where there are trainers, i would suggest you take a quick course on proper exercise form, it will save you a lot of pain and will help you build muscle faster. dont feel bad, all newcomers at this make the same mistakes.\n\nto help in your problem, you can also apply ice for no more than 30 min to the area that hurts, it will help stop the swelling. after that apply something hot for another 30 min, this will cause increased bloodflow and will help repair the muscles that are in pain.\n\ngood luck!

Odds are good you are under a lot of stress. Many people carry their tension in their upper shoulders and neck. I would suggest that you should see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

Consult a sports medicine doctor and find out how to strengthen your shoulder muscles.\n\nAlso could be some kind of nerve problem, but I suspect it's a strength problem.\n\nGood Luck

I've been playing tennis for 6 years, so i think i can help. Now with your aim, just watch the ball at all times and make sure you step into the ball. Keep your racket straight and hold on tight as you swing through over your shoulder. Lifting weights doesn't have any part in tennis. To swing hard, you need strength in your wrists, not so much in your arms. So just keep practicing. To make the ball go further, be positive you have your form right. Then one of the most important is to remember to swing all the way through. Yes, all the way to your opposite shoulder. This will make the ball go way further. Much of this you achieve with practice though. So good luck with it all! *Val*

You could have bursitis or a calcium growth on your shoulder blade which is inflamed. I've had both. An operation took care of the 'bhur' on the blade. The bursitis persists.
