XC ski injuries... hams, delts...?
I might as well pile it on with the XC ski injuries.
First, my hams act up. Not my lower back, thank goodness. Also, I notice that my deltoids get strangely weak during ski season. I can pole just fine. But taking a t-shirt off overhead is another question. My brother, who skis, reports a similar glitch. Only he says his delts hurt. Mine just are weak when overhead. Funny. Are most of these types of problems just a matter of imbalance? Would overhead military presses help this delt ailment? (I do these in the summer, but not in winter.) --JP |

It was a bit painful in certain positions, but like you ok for poling, bad in a lot of overhead lifts. Seemed to be kind of classic rotator cuff symptoms. I mentioned to my Doc during a physical in last September , but it was just annoying then so he didn't do anything. 2-3 months later it became the searing agony kind if I lifted the arm suddenly, or twisted in just the wrong position. I could not get it to heal until I stopped doing push ups (which probably is not coincidental, but was my major arm and shoulder exercise). I started doing the rotator cuff exercises and slowly it is better so it only hurts a little now and then. I am playing with a push up gadget from Herrington that lets your hands rotate as you push up/down, which is supposed to prevent stress on the shoulder. So far so good (the product name is Perfect Push up). gr Are you guys posting about injuries or just aches and pains? |
