Shoulder pain
1. It begain at my shoulder maybe 2-3 weeks ago
2. While doing the jerk part of the clean and jerk.
3. The pain is in the lateral deltoid.
4. Its like a shooting pain when i catch the jerk.
5. Its just in the jerk, i can feel it a bit sometimes if i just move my shoulder around too, and if i do external rotationes i can feel it, but it doesnt hurt half as much as when i do CJs.
6. Jerk
7. cant think of anything that makes the pain better
8. pain doesnt redirect.
9. I still do Jerks, but i cant catch the bar so far behind my head,
because thats mainly when the pain occures.
10. That i wont be able to do jerks.
11. not that i can remember, no.
12. Hasent gotten worse, has gotten a bit better since it first started actually.

I dont get any pain from doing snatches, push press or military press.

Sorry about the other thread, i dident read the sticky before that. heres more info about it, just ask if you need more.

a little addition, i tried some cuban press today, that hurt too, alot more than just some external rotation. It hurt in the rotating part of the cuban press

What about pain during lateral raises? Can you put your finger on a single point that hurts?

pain during lateral rises is minimal.. actually, i dont even know if its "pain"
the shoulder does crack, spechally if i rise it above my shoulder level.
It seems to only hurt when i do things that involve the rotator cuffs alot.

However, during lat rises i do feel something, it doesnt exactly hurt, but its something there, feels like its inside my lateral delt.
Do you want me to take a picture where i put my finger on it?

So, basically, the pain is only from catching (i.e. the eccentric part) of the jerk? I'm a bit at a loss for why you wouldn't have pain during the eccentric part of the military press. How about resisted external rotation? You may have just experienced a very minor strain. If it's getting better, then try a typical return-to-normal protocol--decrease your load by 30-40% and gradually work your way back up.

yeah its weird. i think its because when you catch a jerk you kind of catch it behind your head, as oposed to when you push up a military press you keep it in front. I tried a wider grip on the jerks and it seemed to help, the pain is almost completley gone now. I also noticed when i rolled a tennisball against my rotator cuffs that there were quite a few knots there.
