yes i am a retard i admit it!!! maybe not litterally but in the way ive been training for the last 5 years.

i have basicly had some sort of injury in every part of my body and most of them are still not treated to this day.

so when my shoulders started getting worse and worse to the extent that i can´t train anymore i figured it´s time to chill with the training and focus solely on recovering.

to make it simple i´m gonna list everything that hurts in my body along with some questions.

upper body:

rotator cuff impingement (at least that is what my pt thought) N1 priority!!
soreness on my rhombs
a bad wrist (when it hurts which isn´t that often)
elbow problems

lower body:

2herniated discs in my lumbar (doesn´t bother me anymore)
some kind of groin pain in my left leg( only hurts when i squat, but i feel it during split stretch)
weird pain in my right knee (nothing serious i think, probably from bad squats)
shin splint in my right leg.


my questions

1. how often should i do scupular work to rehab my shoulders? in the diesel crew videos they only did every move 1 time per week,

2. what is wrong with my groin? didn´t think it was serious at first cause i only felt it during squats, but now ive had it for quite some time.

3. any other good things to think about for my shoulders? i work as a carpenter so i have to use my hands all day, it usually doesn´t hurt at work, but sometimes i´m sore when i get home,

Yeah i know it´s fucked up!
but most of the injuries are from bjj which is kind of easy to get obsessed about,

My shoulders have been weird for about a year,
they used to just be stiff without any pain which is why i ignored it for so long, ive also had bad posture my entire life so i think alot comes from that.

The painful part started a few months ago when i insisted on benching heavy even though i sometimes got pains the day after.

ive done external rotations about 3 times a week for a while now with little to no improvement, but i have been lifting light and doing thai boxing also so that could be straining it even though it doesn´t hurt at all at training.

So this week i stopped all martial art training and upped the external rotation work to everyday, i wen´t to the gym today but i mostly did rehab stuff like DB /frontside raise, cubans, scapular stuff like one arm rows and bench. and then i finished with some core stuff.

also i posted everything that hurt in my body, all of it isn´t serious it´s just that these last 2 weeks it feels like myy entire body is breaking down.
Before my shoulders got fucked ive been injury free for along time.

BJJ is making me trash my body right now. My current list of injuries:

Shoulder injury since March 2007
Knee Injury - loose to the inside
Wrist injury

Those are the big ones at the moment. The worst part is i'll have small ones taht i'll train through but that make you compensate in a different way, sometimes leading to other injury.

addiction is dangerous.

i just needed to add that it only hurts at the bottom of the squat kinda like this guy

overcoming groin pain?

[ahheadlock]

how do you go training with the herniated discs?

(ps. the groin pain theoretically could be related to that).

i have 2 stuffed discs and i can hardly do anything fun anymore.

when did you get the injury and how serious is it?

i pulled my discs about 4 years ago and for a while it felt like shit, i could barely bend over 90degres without feeling alot of pain.

but after the worst pain wen´t away i could start training again, try to build up muscle endurance in your lower back, that helped me out alot.

about the groin i don´t know, i had the pain for while about 3months ago, then it just wen´t away and now it´s back, it´s right on the inside of my thigh.
