You Need Moar Lube

(or a more accommodating partner that goes the extra mile)

It could also be that you are stressing yourself out too much. Muscles repair far better if not always tensed.

I agree with @deadlyapp , massage guns can yield unexpected results, and not all are the same. I would recommend getting some practice with it and if you know that you have tender spots then go at them in your off days. Like after the workout for your shoulder maybe, instead of before.

I will say the should is one of those tougher spots to get to, for me at least. I can get my traps and outer shoulders ez enough, but below that is not really doable

My theragun says I can use it preworkout, but I don't think it gets me ready enough. I prefer the Limber 11 and extra foam rolling to get ready.

Just updating my own experience. I've had success also using my theragun during workouts. As a middle aged guy who didnt keep up with this stuff, getting back into it means muscles and tendons cry a lot. So I'll have a muscle start crying during a set, then I theragun that area during rest, and it's ready for the next set.

I've been using this for over a year, lots of power (claims 30lbs/12mm)

I own a few and have given away a few for my family members, this one is clearly the strongest one and I would be scared to use it on my neck/head at full power haha. It's slightly heavier (2.2lbs) but that comes with having the most power I guess.

Be careful, you don't want to have to come up with a story about why you're walking funny.
