It is over.

The moment to act has passed.

You're unhappy about how it turned out. Deal with it and let it go.

That's a good workout mate.

The only thing that worries me is that you're only 15. Your growth plates are still open and I've heard that someone your age should not do heavy weights. I suggest you...

If you train at speed, you'll play at speed.

I can't see the point of doing longer runs for an explosive sport like football.

On the other hand, if you train at 100% every time you hit the...

Wow, what a bunch of grumpy old bastards we are.

I agree: Droppers, groaners, chatters, interupters and perverts are all a downside to going to the gym.

We have a lot of personal trainers at my...

No I think he means its after the pull from th floor when it gets up aboive your knees and you explode upwards with the whole shrug and jump thing, to get the bar high enough so you can get under....

Ensure that you push through your heels and not through the toes, balls of your feet or the middle of your foot. Not pushing through the heels is the cause of a lot knee problems.

Squatting wide...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the discussion.

I'm not doing any upper body work for a while. The shoulder is sore and catches all the time. I kind of feel it moving around a bit in there. I'll take it...

What position do you play?

I'm lifting real weights and have been for a few months.

Bench press is about 80% of what it was before surgery. Same with back exercises like lat pull, dumbell row, barbell row. Forget about...

...and sneak in some calf raises.

I think you should do the program as set out. Those guys seem to know what they're doing. Start from week 1 and move through the program. You'll see, it works.

I had a bankart repair the same time as you, but I didn't have a SLAP lesion, only a Perthe's lesion.

Was your surgery open or arthroscopic?

My experience has been that the recovery is really...

Injury: Torn glenoid labrum
Cause: Rugby
Treatment: Surgery. Arthroscopic reconstruction. "Bankart" repair.
Recovery: 6 weeks of joint immobility. You even have to sleep with the brace on....

Elsewhere I've sought help with wasting and general reduction of shoulder and upper body mass following shoulder surgery.

What do people say about military press for recovering and building...

I injured my shoulder playing rugby. I underwent an arthroscopic repair of a torn glenoid labrum. The recuperation and rehabilitation has been long and slow. As a result I have lost size and strength...

I think its great that you guys take working out seriously. You're only going to get out of it what you put in.

But really, is the grunting necessary? I'm sure the odd invountary squeak might pop...

Hello.

I too am new to this.

I'm 39, 6'1", 194 and have always been active. I've lifted weights for about 10 years but it has only been a bit of a vanity thing until the last 3 years where I...

Dips and especially weighted dips are a great upper body exercise that, unfortunately, I can't do anymore as a result of a shoulder injury. In fact, the specialists say that no-one should do dips...
