Eddard Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hello all. I tweaked my shoulder a bit today while doing pushups. Any advice on healing, and what sorts of exercises would be good to do in the meantime? I definitely don't want to get derailed so soon after starting. Thanks! “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.

thatgirljj Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 How tweaked?Basically I'd say the same as Trad_Climb except that I'd replace #1 with "Suck it up and do a bunch of boring rotator cuff exercises so you don't permanently F-up your shoulder."-jj NF: Treedwelling assasin.

Sloth the Enduring Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 "Suck it up and do a bunch of boring rotator cuff exercises so you don't permanently F-up your shoulder."-jjI always opt for suck it up 'til you can't, now I need rotator cuff surgery.Good exercises are face pulls, internal and external rotations, front and back pull aparts. Add in mobility, dislocators and wall slides. “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
Eddard Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Feeling much better this week. I've laid off of pushups and heavy upper body work since Friday. I'm focusing on sprinting, squats, box jumps. I'm training harder, but doing other stuff. Continuing with my pushup, plank, burpee routine is kind of silly if it ends up with me hurter myself even worse. I'm going to start some light shoulder exercises on Monday. Thanks all. “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness.
