Update: It's been 9 months from my last post.

I don't even notice my labral tear anymore. I am very careful on warmups and I keep away from certain exercises. I am stronger than ever and I am...

Update: I haven't posted in 5 months and so I thought I would give an update. It's been over a year since my initial injury and everything is doing very well. I always feel the tear in my back...

Updates:

My lifts have been going very well and I am down to 198lbs and dropped several percent body fat as well. I am still very careful and keep away from dips and heavy overheads...but I have...

I've had the same issue before. I had a MRI that found several issues but the pain on the top of the shoulder dealt with my AC joint. I have had weightlifter's shoulder (very common when you lift...

Sounds a lot like my shoulder injury. I am on month 7 (had to take several months off & rehab) after my injury. Take a look at my thread to get more info. "Should labrel tear, distal clavical...

It's been another month and so I thought I would post.

My lifts are getting better by the week and I am definitely stronger now than before on most lifts. I finally started barebell flat...

I am glad my postings on here has helped someone. It has been a very long 6 month journey from beginning, through Physical Therapy, and to now. It's been 3 months since I was cleared to start...

It's been a month since my last update, so I thought I would write some.

I finally quit icing after every workout because the pain has become very minimal. I am still very careful at the gym, but...

I had to take 3 days off after my last Bicep workout because I was in some massive nerve pain in my left shoulder. I added skullcrushers to that bicep/tricep workout...I will no longer do these...

I haven't even thought about doing dips at all. I am not for sure about those in the future. I am taking my time with figuring it all out.

I do have some advantages with my gfriend's dad being a...

I am avoiding dips, heavy tricep pressdowns, heavy military presses, several types of machine pull downs, cable rows, and laying curls (I would lay down on cable machine...the pressure on my shoulder...

After my last chest workout I was extremely sore. I was so sore that I thought I re-injured myself. I took 3 days off and then did a light shoulder workout. All pain was gone the next morning...it...

I did a chest workout last night. I was slightly sore going into the workout and now I am 'medium' sore a day after. I did my normal RC exercises and then I hit decline. I was very careful and...

Good luck and you will love being back....even though the first week back I lifted like a 12 year old girl. lol

I was very very sore those first few weeks back and just did very light workouts...

I decided to lift much heavier with last night's chest workout. I did all my normal Rotator Cuff exercises as my warmup and then started on decline bench. I did many warmup sets and then starting...

That last shoulder/tricep workout did the trick. My shoulders must have been tight and needed stretched...thus that bicep workout did not hurt me. My shoulders were fine after that workout. The...

I did the exact same thing...but I was ok after 5 days of rest. The edema and tendonitis aren't effected too much with a good workout...just caused me some temporary pain. I had that great bench...

I started feeling much better after about 8 weeks of resting. Just remember your first few workouts will blow big time. The 35lb dumb bells felt like 100's. lol. Now I just grab the heavy weights...

Update: My lifts are getting better each day. I am now at 70% of my normal lifts. I put up 300lb on bench easily and have started incorporating more advanced lifts into my schedule. It's amazing...

Yes, the cable crossovers do put a lot of stress on my shoulder joint. I started very light and used different techniques with straight and bent elbows. My PT felt that I have to try it out and see...
