anywho...getting used to doing lots of cardio lately. Looks like I got a lot of rehabbing on my shoulder ahead of me. Not sure how long it will be until I'm back to full strength. Thankfully the MRI showed no tear in the rotator cuff. Guess it's really time to concentrate on the core. You guys have any suggestions on working the biceps/chest without putting too much strain on the shoulder?

I had a really sore shoulder maybe some three years ago. No torn stuff though. At times it kept me awake at night. Motrin 800's were my salvation. I could barely lift a glass of water off the table.
So... I bought some girly dumbells. Six and ten pounders. Did lateral shoulder raises by the dozen. Did girly pushups, (knees on the floor). Light dumbell curls, 30 pounds, if memory serves.
It took a while to get back. Still can't bench like I used to (can't do anything like I used to
). Max out at 225. Incline bench is still a little painful and use minimal weight on that. Decline bench is the least painful, can load up the weight on that pretty good.
So basically what I have done is work around and avoid the painful joints, and give the rest of them hell. Deadlifts, rows, lat pull downs, tricep work, etc. Big hurdle was training myself to be patient, and slowly work back into it.
