Thread: Starting after injury

Odds are, you haven't lost that much. Just pick up where you started off...assuming that your diet and w/o routine were on point to begin with. Although, with a shoulder injury, (assuming that is is not serious) I would spend much more time warming up and cautiously ease into excercises involving the shoulder.

You should take an objective look at your grip on your bench exercises. It may be possible that your grip is too wide and your shoulder is exposed because your elbows are too far from your side. I learned that the hard way. When I moved my hands closer together and got my elbows closer to my sides, my shoulder problems eased up. I was also able to improve my bench because my triceps are more involved.
