Shoulder was very painful this morning. I went for an ART treatment this afternoon. I sure helped,going again Wednesday. The dr who lifts,told me to hold off on presses and bench. He said ok to try some LIGHT laterals to,get blood into the area. I guess I will start presses again in a week or so using linear progression for beginners. Getting old sucks.

Kettlebell Halos have resurrected my bad shoulder.

Good luck with the recovery. Things can go south quickly for us geezers. It's hard to go slow and steady with increases, but injuries are a real setback.

[Strega]

Hang in there, being injured sucks....

Keep the faith Jerry. I've rehabed myself through knee problems from martial arts many years ago, and shoulder problems from competing in Firefighter Combat Challenge several years ago. Then there was that minor issue with the heart attack, but I'm right as rain now. It looks like crap when you're injured, but sunny days are ahead.

Thanks Farback. It feels good now, but that's what happened two weeks ago. After benching some pain, it went away and I felt fine pressing . Then the next week it didn't feel right on warmup for the bench. I am going to try the Starr rehab next week, maybe just use the bar. Then going to try what Hurl wrote bench, press, sqt and DL ever other week. And thow in some bro work on the days between .
