    Went to physio last Wednesday.

    Have left shoulder issues

    rehab is tough enough
    2 push movements, 2 pull movements


    Exercise 1
    Push up - arch back upwards (cat style), touch opposite shoulder x 8
    Add load
    sets with 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg
    tough

    Exercise 2
    Horizontal ring row
    Feet up on box, shrug up, perform row, pause at top, tuck elbows in and push wrists out to the sides, control movements on way down
    6 sets of 6

    push ups using med ball
    left hand on med ball, perform push up putting chest to ball, touch right hand off left shoulder, move ball to centre, attempt push up without "winging" (very hard), move ball to right hand, perform push up putting chest to ball, touch left hand off right shoulder
    repeat,
    each push up is one rep
    5 x 8

    Lat Pull down
    Get into a parallel squat position, bar overhead in snatch position, perform OH shrug and then lat pull down
    50kg - 6 x 8

    Did this on Wednesday, Thursday and Today.

    Had Serious DOMS on friday and saturday from it.
    All the prime movers pretty much taken out of the movements, really tough.

    I'm might consider doing that myself as well. I'm taking a bit of a detour from strict lifting for the next few months and already doing this http://www.urbantrailsireland.com/ so rowing might be fun to do also. I always wanted a sub 1:30 500m.
