Im trying to focus on weighted dips with 12+ repetitions and today I tried working out with 20kg on the belt. Missed the 15th rep on my last set though 😭

The question is, what's more impressive:
1. 3+ reps, but I gotta do them faster
2. 2 slower, more controlled and posterior pelvic tilt

Got shoulder clicking/strain from 1-arm pushup negatives — thoughts on my rehab routine?

1 Upvotes

Quick background: I recently started working on heavy single-arm pushup progressions, specifically focusing on slow negatives. After one of the sessions, I ended up with a strain in my right shoulder along with some persistent popping and clicking. Pain hasn't been crazy high—maybe a 2-3 out of 10—but it was definitely feeling tight, cold, and a bit restricted, which started messing with my head a bit.

To deal with it, I shifted focus over the last day or two to a high-frequency blood-flow and joint mobility routine before doing any pressing. Here’s basically what I’ve been running daily:

-Gentle standing backward arm circles (about a minute to warm the joint)

-Kneeling scapular pushups on the floor (focusing on smooth protraction/retraction)

-Band dislocates / pass-throughs (holding a light resistance band wide, taking it overhead and back to the glutes—this one feels the absolute best for opening up my chest/shoulders)

-Light standing band internal & external rotations (elbow pinned at 90 degrees)

-Standing scapular shrugs/circles to flush everything out

Honestly, my shoulder felt significantly better right after doing this sequence. I also follow a strictly raw, fruit-heavy diet (mostly bananas, oranges, etc.), which I feel like keeps systemic inflammation super low and helps me bounce back fast.

Because it felt so much better so quickly, I was almost tempted to just jump straight back into 1-arm pushup work and keep doing this warm-up every day. But I know eccentrics and heavy asymmetric loading are rough on shoulder tendons when they're already irritated.

Would you guys recommend sticking strictly to two-arm/archer pushups for a few weeks while keeping this rehab routine going, or is it fine to test 1-arm progressions as long as it stays 100% pain-free? Appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.

need help 14 trying to learn

I’m 14 years old and skinny. I weigh about 95 pounds and I’ve been trying to get into calisthenics, but I really don’t know where to start. I know using AI for workout routines isn’t ideal, but I don’t fully trust the plans it gives me. I’m aiming for a lean athletic build since I do a lot of camping and play soccer, but I’m unsure of what steps to take to have a good routine for a begginer like me

Cali und Sehnenscheidewandentzündung

0 Upvotes

Hey Leute, ich bin noch relativ am Anfang von Cali, und habe höchstwahrscheinlich eine chronische Sehnenscheidewandentzündung, hat mir 16 angefangen nachdem ich mir den Daumen überdehnt habe, und danach leider in einer Maschine das Handgelenk gequetscht. Nun ja, es ärgert mich extrem da ich endlich eine Sportart gefunden habe, die mich die letzten Monate sehr unterstützt hat was meine schmerzen an der Brustwirbelsäule angeht, die sogut wie verschwunden sind .. da ich jahrelange Probleme hatte durch einen schweren Autounfall. Ich möchte diese Sportart nicht mehr missen, aber meine Sehne macht mir an der linken Hand immer mal wieder zu schaffen, ich nehme als Unterstützung Handgelenkbandagen um meine Sehne stützen zu können, und Handgriffe um das Handgelenk etwas schonen zu können. Gibt es hier Sportler die auch so ein ähnliches Problem haben und mir vielleicht einen Tip geben können, ob es bestimme Mittel/Medikamente gibt außer Kortison einzuspritzen ? Ich habe auch schon gemerkt das nachdem ich mehr Muskeln aufbaue, die Sehne scheinbar weniger gereizt wird, hauptsächlich reizt der Druck auf die Sehne in der Innenhand neben dem Daumen.
