Using cables, light DBs, and doing supersets/trisets to pump as much blood into the delts will also increase recovery by circulating fresh oxygenated blood to the injured shoulder. Keep things light, high volume, and strict form letting the muscle do the lifting. You’ll be back in no time 💪🏼
Thanks fam
Check the ego as quickly as possible. Re-learn the movements and increase resistance as you progress/feel more comfortable. It sucks to use “baby weights” but the muscle memory will come back quickly. I would personally avoid Olympic style lifts until you feel you’re 100%.
As a bodybuilder, I can tell you that shoulders don’t require much weight to grow. As a ball joint, keeping that joint healthy and strong should be the primary objective.
See a good physical therapist and get their opinion.
Yup thanks all finished my 12 weeks of physical therapy and still scheduled once a week sessions going forward. Also lifting minor weights under PT supervision plus light running and resistance band work in the gym on my own. Slowly but surely will get there. I absolutely don’t want to rush this
Tempted to get back to lifting but resisting the ego lol. Looks like I’ll have to wait a good year before I can think of lifting. 5 months into injury. Any insight and advice during this challenging phase would be appreciated. First major injury in life thus far. Mid 30s
Who is telling you to take 12 months before you can start lifting after a dislocated shoulder?
Major ligament / muscle tears (e.g., ACL / Pec) are much more traumatic and can typically be recovered within 8-9 months at 100% capacity. Go get a second opinion.*
*EDIT: Maybe not 100% capacity, but definitely 80%+, but you’re definitely back to moderately heavy lifting by that point if you take recovery seriously.
