How's your shoulder doing? I haven't been to the gym for a good 2-3 weeks now, the longest stretch since I started lifting in 2014, mostly because I'm not sure what I should be doing and I'm quite concerned about worsening the pain in my shoulder. I've only done push-ups and dead hangs, neither of which seemed to help at all and, if anything, made things worse. Without knowing what's going on in there, I'm not comfortable with the idea of benching or pressing, especially if I can't get an explanation as to why those movements would be good for me. I can understand the Starr protocol for muscle tears, and have seen personally the positive results of that protocol, but I think this is different. But if I go to a doctor, will he be able to say anything other than my shoulder is in some pain, don't do things that make it hurt?
How did you hurt your shoulder, how was it diagnosed and what exactly are you doing for rehab?
Thanks.
