friday started lats with db pullovers...only 80lbs after warmup for my work set...happened at rep 3 or 4 and going for 15, so kinda light...popped loud2-3 pops on top of each other and i dumped the weight right away...finished my back/bi workout but very light and no stretch movements and squeeze type only....no bruising til sunday when i iced it...
 
Oh man... What motions, if any, are painful? Could easily be the Infraspinatous or Teres Minor....depending on symptoms of course but judging by the location of the hematoma and the exercise you were doing i'd put my money on one or both of them....


Itd hard to tell in the pics bc im using a phone, but is there bruising on your elbow as well?

2-3 pops happened simulataneous in the stretched position of the pullover...i was able to complete very lightly hammer pulldowns, hammer rows, hammer shrugs, bb curls, hammer curls on friday after it happened...my thinking too based on the dark part of the bruise being horizontal and up so high is that it's teres also...i can bend my arm when in curl position about 90 degrees but when raise straight to the ceiling only 20-30 degrees...the bruising near the elbow is simply from the lymph fluid and plasma buildup i'm sure and stretching the skin...it actually feels better today than yesterday yet looks worse today lol...i'm a radiography student so i'm somewhat knowledgeable on things, but obviously no expert...also holding the gelpack under my arm by just squeezing it closed to hold it and not using other arm, i can feel a slight pierce in the rear delt tie in area but deep and not superficial

if you look in member's pic you'll see more pics of the injury from saturday and sunday

That sux bo. hope you heal fast but, I fckn love DB pullovers as a finsher on back day. I have always done them and always will. NOTHING gets my lats as sore as DB pullovers. I know it's supose to be a chest exercise, but I have never felt in my chest. Honestly, my favorite back movement!!!!!. But I really do feel for you bro...
 
Damn bro that looks horrible. Do you plan on getting an MRI? I didn't have that kind of bruising on my pec rupture or bicep rupture. I would probably freak the fuck out and pass out if I saw that on my arm
 
That's scary to see. I hope you find out what the hell is wrong and can get back soon.

I've never done them mostly because I don't know what the hell it works out. I see guys do it on chest day and say it's the best for upper chest and I hear guys say it's great for back lol
 
Damm Irish . Keep us posted bro.. I too love db pullovers for the great stretch .. Any fever get ass to dr asap as you probably already know bro..
 
better ROM today...swelling is going down...bruising is lighter color on inside tri today, but up high/inside is still tender to touch it...was able to push away from table in chair on two legs today without pain but it does feel like i did a super high volume tri workout and there's nothing left in the tank lol...
 
I started doing these on the cable pulldown machine instead of doing the DB pullovers. We also have a machine for pullovers as well, this definitely makes me not want to do DB pullovers

i normally do them with rope attachment too and not with dumbell

here's pic from today...notice how high i'm able to raise arm for this pic today...good sign i'm out a month maybe
 
Yeah ..ure on the mend it looks like.. Id still ice and keep flexibilty movement like you probably already know.. Glad ure better bro..
 
well it looks like the bruising made it look alot worse than it really was...alot of broken vessels...swelling is gone completely...i'm able to bend it almost completely again too...still blood and bruising from real delt to wrist, but it's fading quickly the last couple days...the original black dot that showed immediately is gone too...i'll be back lifting next week
 
got a few decent pumping workouts in over the last 7 days...nothing heavy, but felt great...i'm thinking now that it is and always was the shoulder joint and not the tricep...i'm gonna push it a little friday...will be on vacation in Alabama thurs-mon visiting my new girl...can't lift too light in front of her lol
