Lizard - The stick exercise has made a dramatic difference to my shoulder pain and my ability to battle it whilst training.
I'm currently doing a set of 25, taking 30 seconds and then another 25. I'm slowly edging my hands closer together maybe every 2-3 days.
Every week the pain lessens and my mobility improves, I can finally flat and incline bench again. It is liberating to actually have close to full functionality and be able to embrace my physicality again. I'm getting back to the point I was at before the pain crippled me. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing. I will continue pushing with the stick exercise trying to get it to a straight 50 set and all of this will hopefully allow me to peak in time for summer. I got a lot of pick up rivalries that need taken care of.
Huge thanks to you man, seriously just one little thing like this can make such a difference. You can't fathom how appreciative I am, my physicality is everything to me.
The ankle is ok, I have implemented a couple of the rehab and prevention exercises you suggested into my leg routine and the braces I bought are excellent and I do think they will prevent further rolls. However this last sprain is still not quite healed yet, I took a few weeks off but I played the other for maybe 3 hours of on off physical pick up and it swelled a little that evening, I iced, rested and watch the playoffs and it feels a little better today. It's a delicate joint I know that so I will probably just hit the weights hard this week and rest it until the end of the week.
