Slight shoulder injury: Advice?

[Eddard]

Hello all. I tweaked my shoulder a bit today while doing pushups. Any advice on healing, and what sorts of exercises would be good to do in the meantime? I definitely don't want to get derailed so soon after starting.

Thanks!

1. suck it up and train harder

2. massage, foam roll, ice bath, icy hot

3. Supplementation and stretching/decompression

If all else fails

4. Go see a doctor.

How tweaked?

Basically I'd say the same as Trad_Climb except that I'd replace #1 with "Suck it up and do a bunch of boring rotator cuff exercises so you don't permanently F-up your shoulder."

I always opt for suck it up 'til you can't, now I need rotator cuff surgery.

Good exercises are face pulls, internal and external rotations, front and back pull aparts. Add in mobility, dislocators and wall slides.

Feeling much better this week. I've laid off of pushups and heavy upper body work since Friday. I'm focusing on sprinting, squats, box jumps. I'm training harder, but doing other stuff. Continuing with my pushup, plank, burpee routine is kind of silly if it ends up with me hurter myself even worse. I'm going to start some light shoulder exercises on Monday.

Thanks all.
