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.
I'm trying to figure out what is going on with my body. There is a distinct difference between the left and right sides of my body. The entire left side of my body feels tight but definitely solid. When I push off with my left leg, I can feel the entire leg work, and my glutes/hip engage. The left side is also tight in areas such as the piriformis and left pec (shoulder rolled forward). My right side feels loose and weak.
I am a retired college hockey player who used to have a sports-specific workout throughout my youth and early 20s. It has been 3 years, going on 4, since I graduated from college. I am 25 years old and have hit a gym plateau. I have been using the gym to manage my anxious, high-energy feelings but have lost a sense of what I am capable of. I feel burnt out and lack an understanding of how much my body should endure in the gym. I am curious about how to get my body back to where I am confident I can perform certain lifts without the long-term aches and pains that tend to follow today.
