Anyone here tore a rotator cuff?

Do the weights for tone and shape (looks and strength). For getting in shape and abbs, run sprints, that will take care of it together with diet. For diet just do what Gamisch tells.

About three or four months your problem is solved.

Start slow, for a couple weeks to get used to it. By week 3 or 4, run as hard as you can for 100 meter, then walk/jog the rest of the track and do it again. Do it until you can't. Do not do this every day, only every other day.

I do LISS currently 3 days and weights (what little my pvssy shoulder can managed for 2)

you think I should basically do a sprinting programme with weights as the sideline? Worried about my knees with this weight - but never had a knee injury, yet!

I would ease into that I think, get a little weight off before I put big impacts through my legs.

My son tore his labrum in half at 19. Had surgery. He's made a full recovery (enough that he was medically cleared to stay on track into the military (no small feat).

Get a work up and imaging studies at the best shoulder physician you can find. You need an MRI or CT scan to know the extent of the injury. Short of that its a guessing game, and a total crap shoot as far as what will help and what will harm you.

Do that first. Meanwhile rest it. Cartilage, tendons & ligaments have relatively poor blood supply. That means those tissues do not get enough nutrients to heal quickly. It took a full year for my son to recover (at 19 doing PT religiously).

Get an eval and don't make it worse first. Once you know the extent/type of injury then you can make informed decisions about what to do next.

Cheers.

There are some relatively new advances that can speed up recovery including things like Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) therapy and peptides such as BPC-157 which a few competing bodybuilders(one of whom is a doctor as well) I am friends with swear by in terms of helping to recover from various things like muscle, tendon and ligament tears, etc.

yes ease into it. don't go for full speed until about week 3 or longer if you need more time to avoid injury. the sprints are very high calorie burn. does wonders for stamina that you need for other activities.... abbs are going show after a couple months. make sure to drink water alot as your going to sweat like crazy. really stretch and warm up.

after 4 months of this your going to feel like running up stairs and have too much energy.

look at the bodies of professional or Olympic sprinters.

nice thing about this is it doesn't take much time because the intensity is high.

lol I doubt very much abs will be showing in a couple of months. I am 35% bodyfat.

to be fair my weight has always been up and down but the only, and I mean this categorically, the only time I ever got my weight down to health levels was with low carb. Did full keto for a bit but made me ill. Low carb (sub 75g) was the only thing that got me low . For me eating moderate carbs, even entirely from whole sources and cutting sugar makes fat loss a very long drawn out affair.

Keto is insane but any diet where you can’t eat say, strawberries, apples etc to me is just too dangerous . Last time I went full out keto I ended up in hospital with reactivated mono and that was a horrible 6 month recovery

Yes PRP is a big deal. Speeds healing by nourishing the tissue (that normally isn't sufficiently vascular to heal quickly), My son has more pliable ligaments than most people (inherited from me in all likelihood as I exhibit that and have all my life) so he's got to be cognizant of that. It is a blessing and a curse because under some circumstances that greater elasticity is protective but in other ways it makes him injury prone.

Around 4 months ago you posted a thread that you were gonna lose fat.

Now you come here asking for advice, but you mentioned being 35% fat. You pretty much haven't done $hit for losing weight.

Your asian slim wife is giving you $hit and fighting with you cause you're a fata$$ among other things. Take control of your life or soon you'll be another divorced guy giving a lot money to your wife while she enjoys it with Chad.

it will work. it might take you longer, to get going full speed. maybe 2 months if your really out of shape, then a couple more months for the magic to happen. this is one of the highest energy burn activities. I don't recommend jogging, only sprints. your going to feel great after getting into it. maybe in the beginning it will be that you can only do 1 or 2 sets before failure.

when you get to seven or more sets your going to start making progress. at 10 sets, your on your way. the best part is that you will feel great.

if you have never done like this before, your going to be amazed at what happens.
