Welcome back !!
Hope everyting works out great for you and you stay injury free !
Well after a lon layoff from any serious journal inputing I decided to go back at it (Just for you Gary!!) Anyways, I haven't been able to do what I've been wanting to do lately due to a bad right rotator cuff. I pretty much have it back to normal other then some slight soreness on occasion.
I'm 27yo about 6'0 tall and 185lbs. I'll post my body fat possibly on Monday or Tuesday, I'm awaiting my bodyfat calipers to arrive in the mail. If I were to guess I would say between 16%-18% mostly belly fat.
My Training split is as follows...
Sunday- Legs
Monday-Chest/Back
Tuesday- Bi's and Tri's
Wed.- No Workout (Softball!!)
Thursday-Shoulders
Friday-SOFTBALL!!
Saturday- OFF.
I also mix in on my workout days about 30-40 min. in my backyard hitting off a batting tee at a continuous rate.
My Supplement intake...
2000mg a day Vit. C
800 iu Vit E
800 mg Calcium
1 Serving Labrada's Liq. MultiVit.
Glutamine
V-12 (will discontinue when I run out)
Syntrax Nitrous(will discontinue when I run out)
Joint Care
BCCA's (Beverly Internation Mass Amino)
I'll update when I change anything up. My goal is to get down on body fat. When softball is over then its time for the bulking cycle!!!![]()
I welcome all advice so if you have any recommendations please feel free to holla'. I won't start to list my workouts until Sunday which will begin the workout week.
Thanks!!
The beatings will continue until morale improves!!
Personal Goal: I WILL be playing "C" tournament ball next year!!!

I've been doing only db incline and flat lately but really no shoulder workouts. The max on the db's were 55x10. My shoulder is still kinda weak to do heavier flye exercises though.![]()

No.. I mean cuff exercises. All you would need is 10-15lbs max.

no cuff exercises! ack!
theyre a must after an injury like yours. actually, theyre a must for everyone regardless of injury... but most people dont do them untill theyre injured (like me).

I would do those 3-5 times a week...

Id do light cuff work twice a week maybe. That area of the shoulder gets very little blood, so it can take a long time for things to heal. You can do shoulder work, but keep it light and keep form stricter than you ever have before. The tendons holding the shoulder together are just so damn fragile.
And yeah, i got a little pain in my cuff... its just some tendonitis/bursitis, not an actual tear, but it kept me out of any movements that stress the cuff for about a week and a half. It's still a little tender, and i had to go really light for chest today.
Anyway, just be careful... the faster it heals the faster you can pack on the beef.
EDIT: or 3-5 times a week, whatever works for you![]()

I use to do those for a longtime after my rotator surgery. Will make a difference.
