Anyone have any good medicine ball routines?
we do drills where you get in the deep end/diving well with a partner out of the pool. you tread water and he drops the medicine ball to you, then you have to throw it back up to your partner. do 1 minute on 15 seconds off for 3 times through, and then switch
I have started weights again to compliment the swimming and recover from an ailing RC.
I have found that I can lift dumbbells with out pain, but the machines hurt my RC. Not sure why, but I go back to my Ortho next month and he'll probably want to give me a cortisone shot. I'm not sure I want that.
The machines shouldn't hurt your RC, if you're doing lower weights and the correct exercises! What are you doing? No bench pressing right? Did your PT show you what to do with the machines?
I don't have a PT; maybe, I should ask for it? I can't do Flat or Inclined bench Bench or preacher curls with a bar or machine. I do dumbbell flat and incline bench, Dumbbell pull-over, and seated dumbbell curls, Lat pull-down, seated cable row, and my RC exercises.
It hurts in the front of my shoulder and a spot half way down my upper arm on the outside. Both areas at hurt are small, about the size of a golf ball.
