*Bunny* said:You can stay away from the heavy weights and use cables, light weight, for a type of active recovery. Sorry so late. I do believe I just answered this question dejavu... anyway I stated somewhere that the shoulder I believe is a synergist to chest exercises (like bench) so I suppose if you lighten the load and move to a cable exercise it MAY be better for you if the shoulder isn't healed and you aren't resting it! and if you absolutely must do something. Weren't you going to get it worked on?
Ice for inflammation.
How are you feeling?
Yes... I don't have the cash at the moment to get work done.... it's not too too bad... I've come to realize that it might also be aggravated by mouse use... so I'm going to try moving my keyboard tray and desk area around to see if this helps... so far it does... I don't feel so 'impinged'... which is nice...
I could try cables... that's not a bad idea... basically... I'm gunna try doing stuff that doesn't aggravate it... if I feel ANY pain at all, I'll stop... we'll see how it goes... For shoulders... I'm thinking I can do pretty much anything that isn't overhead... so upright rows will be good... I'll try front raises, and lateral raises as well.. see what they feel like....
For chest... cables could be the way to go... BB are out, and DB still seem to hurt... although not as bad...
Do you think working around it will speed up recovery though, or should I really just rest it all together? I'm thinking rest might be a better option... I dunno...
