I seem to have hurt my shoulder? What now? (lemmy.world)

I was doing incline smith press and seem to have hurt my front delt in the middle of set, It wasn’t sharp or sudden but I just kinda noticed it, and i made a chump move and decided to finish the set, instead of racking it immediately, i skipped overhead press and lateral raises, I did some cable flies which didn’t seem to have any affect

Now the pain isn’t sharp, I have full range of motion, and the pain is only there when I place some weight on shoulders, so ig it isn’t really serious but should I still continue my upper body workouts and skip presses? Or should I take a week off and only do lower body?

Yeah I’m avoiding everything in that region for now, then doing light weights later. I didn’t stop the first time, just did lighter and it recovered quite well, so hopefully this more careful approach works.

I find myself decently worried about it because, aside from not having injured myself before, re-injuring is so far out of my zone that it’s worth some concern. I’ll update you when it’s fully resolved though
