    I have been out of commission for almost four months now due to some minor ligament tears in my elbow. I have been getting light therapy and icing it. My doc says to stay away from weights until I am symptm free but forget that! I am done with waiting and i HAVE to go back to strength training. I am like 90% healed and it only hurts a bit when I am in the overhead press rack position holding a heavy weight. I am going to start with the bar and add weight and do some assistance stuff for about three or four weeks and then restart SS. I do not care if im not 100%... Any opinions??

    Be careful with ligament problems has they tend to heal very slow. If you re-injure you could be out for months. If you still have pain a week or two more of waiting is better then months.
