I have lifted weights since I was 15 years old and will be 63 in October. I was following Starting Strength's NLP for the past 3 years and made good progress until a nagging shoulder pain turned into a full thickness IS tear and an 80% SS tear with bicep involvement. I had surgery this past November. I started going back to the gym in January, but I feel like I am floundering. I found your podcast while I was sitting at home during recovery. Now I want to jump right back in and start lifting heavy but do not want to cause injury. Any advice you can give this old gal would be appreciated? FYI: I do have some health issues that I have to consider (but try to ignore), including 2 low back surgeries in 1990/91, Lupus/Sjogrens disease, and Osteoarthritis.
How can I fix my shoulder issues?
I messed up my shoulder doing body weight dips the other day. I came into the gym today to do a 25 shoulder mobility routine using some physical therapy exercises and some stuff you guys recommend, and 95% of my pain is gone. What could have happened to allow me to recover so quickly?
