Quick background: 46 y.o. male - I tore my supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons late last year and had surgery in November. Didn’t do much of anything except PT for about 5 months and then found Rip’s video on shoulder rehab which made so much more sense than what I was doing. Figured I was sufficiently detrained enough to be a novice again and started LP. My press has progressed from a broomstick back up to 125 lbs x 5. However at this weight it is apparent that my injured side is still significantly weaker than the other (bar travels unevenly through the press). I missed reps in 2 out of 3 sets for two sessions and subsequently reset the weight by 10%.
My question is would there be any value in doing more than the two or three resets recommended in Practical Programming knowing that it’s partially a rehab issue? Or would it be better to move on to intermediate programming? And this is assuming I’m micro-loading, resting enough, etc.
Thanks - I’m really enjoying the content you guys are putting out there
