Of course. I'm lifting now. It's just that side will be forever weak and small because I only have 1/3 of a muscle now. Right now I'm doing everything except pull down movements, deadlifts, and heavy rows. I can do moderate weight rowing motions now, but it's only to maintain flexibility and neural function. Doc said I can go harder after 6 weeks once the tendon area heals up and the loose torn muscle fibers start to "scar in".
I cant do barbell bench presses yet because of the the lat involvement in unracking the weight. Dumbbell presses are OK though. Some tricep movements are hard because of the lat involvement in required to keep the upper arm stationary. |

Sadly, 2022 was a down year for my health.

I recently starting lifting and man I was getting some decent definition on my back. Now I’m laid up with tennis elbow and gout. Tomorrow will be a week without lifting and I’m depressed about it lol. Give me some encouraging words my dudes.
Before my injuries I was @ 275 x 1 bench, 315 x 3 deadlifts and 255 x 1 on squats. Only taking BCAAs and creatine. Can’t have much protein bc of gout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It's ****ing annoying (of course, also far more minor than some of the shit in this thread)... tried resting mine for a while and didn't really help. Took a leftover steroid pack from a pinched nerve last year while icing and it helped a ton for that week, but is slowly back and seems more annoying now than ever.
Going to start a routine of grip strength and reverse curl exercises followed by icing a few times/day to see if it helps. |

Only thing that works for me is very light but 30-50 rep pushdown sets before I begin any pushing workouts. I do 2-3 sets of these along with my normal shoulder "prehab" that takes about 10 minutes before I even begin lifting, any time I do upper body lifting.

My issue is my shoulders. Hoping it is just rotator cuff tendinitis, but things like incline curls are murder only my shoulders. Skullcrushers hurt too. I rehab them the best I can, but sleep tends to be where I get my exacerbations. Any time I accidentally sleep with my elbow above my head it is bad news.
I need to spend more time stretching. Ultimately I think it is my labrum, but not at all interested in surgery. Things like lat pulls, shrugs, Arnold presses, upright rows are no problem for me. |
