me? during christmas break sabi ko pagpasok workout na. pero pagpasok sabi ko sa monday na (yesterday). kahapon napag-isip ko tuesday na lang para exact tapos sa friday. pero ive decided next week na lang... baka mag-cardio na lang ako if ever sipagin...

Shoulder still hurts hehe, it's more prominent near the front delts when I try to reach for my back with my right arm...

Should stop lifting but can't help it :P

Thanks dude,

I was thinking baka ganun nga, but I wonder lang, since it happened (Dec 24) I didn't work out until the second week of Jan na. Nandun padin sya. I'll be going to Batangas again in a few weeks, ask ko sister in law ko, PT sya dati. Thanks.

Well, I believe most of it is psychological.

I firmly believe that a more lengthy warmup is required if you're coming back from a layoff...

When I got back, I actually gained strength, easily doing more weight than before but not until my muscles got fully warmed up and me getting the groove back as to how the weight should be lifted...

Unless you didn't maintain your protein intake during your layoff and actually experienced muscle atrophy, your strength should come back in a workout or two.

Hi theveed, Im not sure but i think shoulder impingement recovery is 2-3 months.

Only at a certain angle (when I try to scratch my lower back, curling my elbow backwards - parang pag inaarrest ng pulis hehe). Other than that, the pain that previously occurs when I lift my arm overhead and across my chest is gone."

how's your shoulder? Im a physical therapist, so I was thinking baka pwede tumulong. you have to go by the way your shoulder feels. kasi pag inabuso mo yan, magiging "Frozen Shoulder" yan, and it will take between 6months to a 1.5 years to recover if it turns out that way. So better safe than sorry. I wouldnt do empty can lateral raises kasi mas lalong ma-ipit ang shoulder mo. if masakit pa ang lateral raises, either you use lighter Db or do a "Scaption Ex". I tried this on many of my patients with impinged shoulders and it has helped strengthen their deltoids without aggravating the condition. Get a dumbell, hold it like you would hold a beer mug (so thumb-side of hand is facing up), then lift it up diagonally (about halfway between side laterals and front raises). While doing it, monitor the intensity of the pain. No forced reps! Just do the reps until it starts to hurt, then stop. Do another 2-3 sets. Do this exercise before u do dumbell/barbell presses. Then every after your Upper body workout, put an ice pack on that shoulder for 10-15minutes while you're resting. That way hindi cya mag-inflame. and stretch your shoulder after every set. Remember: Your priority here is not to grow bigger or lift heavier at this point. Your goal is to "prevent" weakening and atrophy of your deltoids while your shoulder is healing itself from the injury. You can go back to getting BIG or STRONGER when the shoulder stops hurting. Hope this helps...
