- In my imagination.
I can't do bench presses, incline presses, decline presses, shoulder presses, or dips. Any of those motions hurt my shoulder like crazy. I want to take a month or two off from shoulder intensive training, so I need to fill the void somehow.
My pulling movements do not hurt at all so I have been doing pull/legs/pull/legs. I am starting to feel like my legs and back are taking too much of a beating during the week.
I liked my push/pull/legs routine and I would like to go back to that or something like it, but still have something to do on my push days.
Would it sound stupid to add more isolation, just until my shoulder heals? I was thinking of doing an arm day / leg day/ back day spacing armday and back day by at least 5 days to prevent over training of tris and bis.
Sunday: Straight bar curls
Hammer curls
Triceps extensions
Rope pull downs
Forearm exercises
Tuesday: Squats
Leg Presses
Leg curls
Seated calf raises
Standing calf raises
Thursday: Dead-Lift
Pull-Ups
Chin-Ups
Lat Pull-Downs
I know that my Tris/Bis will be taking a beating being hit directly on Sundays, and indirectly on Thursdays, but this is the only thing I can think of to keep me busy until my shoulder heals and my arms have always seemed to recover much faster than the rest of my body.
