AC Ligament

[Fudomyo]

That's that silly bump on top of your shoulder. Mine is sore as hell.

DB press just pisses it off, but that's my favorite exercise now.

I can hear my Mom now .... "Don't do that", which is what you should tell me.

Anyone know more about how to make a ligament happy?

Thanks,
Fudo

I'm sorry Fudo. I couldn't resist.

Most AC difficulties, that aren't injuries, are due to strength imbalances in the shoulder. Rotator cuff work should do the trick. That and a targeted exercise for the pectoralis minor to help stabilize the shoulder. I would probably suggest seated external rotation, Cuban rotations, and the scapula depression.

This just killed me last night. I don't know if it was the added ice, but it felt like I'd been hit by a baseball bat.

I'll have to quit DB Pressing for a few weeks. Hopefully I can still row and deadlift, though those put a lot of strain on the old shoulder girdle as well.

I'll work on the RC's for sure.

I hate being old.....
