Do you have a broken bone or a visible muscle tear??? Just kidding, no shame in being wise / listening to your body or just taking unnecessary risks.

So I hurt myself somehow yesterday on my last rep of my last set of shoulder dumbbell press at the gym. Did 50x10 -> 55x9 -> 55x8 and on that last rep I felt a small jolt of pain at the base of my neck on the left-ish side, extending halfway up my neck. I've probably never pushed out a rep that hard on that exercise before. My form was perfectly normal and I've never had anything like that happen before. Immediately after I got up my neck felt stiff and pained me every time I twisted or move it more than an inch.

I told myself that I'd go in to the clinic today if it didn't feel better after a night's rest and it feels more or less the same, maybe a tiny bit better, but not by much. So I think I'm gonna go in this afternoon and see what they say. It feels reminiscent of when I spontaneously had a muscle spasm in my neck which was easily the most painful thing I've ever experienced. Doesn't quite as much as that, but a similar area and type of pain.

Anyone gotten something like that before?

Training around shit instead of skipping out on lifting. That's the way you get PRs!

I'm surprised at that OHP though. It's still impressive - I've only ever seen two or three guys put up more than a plate, but with your bench and core strength I thought it would be higher. Is it not a lift you've spent much time on, or is it just something that's personally challenging to you, or what?

I used to be bad at overhead press and beyond atrocious at PBN (I had to start with the bar, 30kg hurt my shoulders too much) prolly because I used to bench only until I hit 133kg, because of my technique it doesn't hit shoulders that much; they always hurt though because they were weak, now that I've progressed (abit) this doesn't happen anymore, 75kg was my 1RM.

Also, holy shit

Managed to find a paragliding school where I can get my license in a city that has one of my gym franchises too. Perfect. Vacation starting tomorrow, the next two weeks will be spent eating a lot, flying all day and gym after lunch in between. Not expecting to break any PRs but it would be nice if I can maintain most over the vacation.

After that it looks grim - Mon-Fri grind work in Greece with 0 free time only to arrive home dead tired Friday night. Hope I can get at least one good workout in on the weekend.

Anyone have the outside of your pinkie fingers get really cold like there's no circulation after lifting? Or know why?

That sounds mildly troubling; have you informed your doctor? It is very likely nothing but odd sensations of cold/tingling can indicate a variety of nerve issues. The fact that it involves the pinky would lead me to believe that your ulnar nerve might be trapped or irritated somewhere along your arm. Take a rolling pin or something similar to your arm and see if you can't trigger the sensations that way.

The long and short of it is that you should talk to a doctor.
