Pop and SNAP!

nbh101 Posts: 39 Joined: 2002/01/27	2002/03/06, 06:18 AM My Shoulders are popping and snapping when I do Side laterals. I'm not doing alot of weight (15 lbs) and I stretch my shoulders out real good before excersising. Is the popping normal or am I doing something wrong? Thx, Nate

Not sure, probably the rotator cuff. It feels like it's in the middle of my shoulder. It doesn't hurt or anything. Oh, and it's both left and right sides.

He specialized in sports medicine before joining the Army. He told me that it is normal in a lot of people and to not worry about it unless it causes any pain. If it hurts you might want to get it checked out. -------------- "Without the will, there's no way" Stan
