Contemplating surgery on my shoulder.. needless to say, I am trying like hell to just lay off it . I’m very conflicted. I know I Haven’t given it a full chance of complete rest so I’m really trying to stick to that now. I know Tino you don’t have to say it ha ha. So today was very modified but I’m proud of myself for the effort and the attitude that I put forth in my training. I gave everything I had and didn’t second-guess my effort because I wasn’t doing what was program haven’t given it a full chance… Read more »

I would get a professional opinion and if you need it get it done now and start the recovery process. In the long run you’ll come back stronger and healthier!

It is hard to train after surgery. Mentally.
Just try to do what you can do. Not put to much pressure on the post injury.

Fun day of work! Not to bothered about how many tiers but just a change in stimulus and that you stay safe.

Did you not see the note for sandbag?

*If you do not have access to a sandbag perform with heavy kettlebells held in the front rack position.
