Default Still pain,Still workout?

Well about 3 weeks ago i was working my shoulders doing the shoulder press and i did alittle more wieght then im use to and pulled something in my right shoulder. Its really sore even when i went golfing today my shoulder was aching. Im wondering should i keep doing my shoulder workouts with little weights or should i stop my shoulder workouts completely till the pain and soreness is gone.??

I'd say maybe take a week off.. I would definitely not want to work that shoulder again and risk further injury..

Taking a week isn't so bad...you get your energy back and are ready to go back at it! I'd say take it easy for a while..

I agree with Tripp, take a rest, and that includes golf...!!

Use ice packs, and get anti-inflamatory drugs will help.

Did you warm up properly, including the rotator cuff exercises...before doing your shoulder workout...??

You should rest the shoulder if it is an injury, but you can try half presses, when doing a press like bench or shoulder press, only bring the arms down halfway, so that the arms only come down till they are level with the shoulders....

Maybe go and get an appointment with a sports physiotherapist....

Rest it and see what happens next week.
I've done the same thing to mine and it has been six weeks and I still feel it on heavy lifts.
Haven't been able to overhead press the weight I did before it happened.

Doctor said what Doug told you - ice it and take it easy - half reps.
I went half of the weight and am slowly working it back up.
I also do 2 sets of 10 just to warm up.
