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.
