@Zorachus shoulder problems are definitely an issue. I tore mine in my 30s. I am very careful about going heavy. It is a situation where you may never be able to go heavy again.Hello, new to this forum, looking forward to this website and reading the logs and articles here. Thank you for having me.

It will be important to juggle that shoulder issue with how you train. You can absolutely get great results training light. I can guarantee you that. @ZorachusHello, new to this forum, looking forward to this website and reading the logs and articles here. Thank you for having me.
