    After more than 3 years doing only cardio because of a shoulder injury today I manage to do 8 pull ups, I never though I´d be able to do it again

    @jps729 Yeah, I do a very careful warm up before doing any strength work specially pull ups that for now are the exercise that I´m currently doing that I feel more on my shoulders, no so much the chin ups those I can do Ok. No only do I stretch before but I also do one set of 12 with 35 Kgs...

    @downhomegurl07 Well, yeah, looking back I wish I started doing stretches and working on my form/posture as soon as I finished the treatments for the pain rather then trying to train with some weight, fail, wait a couple of weeks ago, do it again, fail, repeat until I eventually stopped trying...

    @bongiwe Perhaps you are trying the wrong approach to your specific problem, I know I did, and ended up wasting a lot of time and money on the process but on the other hand if you don´t try you can never get better, so don´t give up!

    @dawn16 I know people that work in the medical business, some friends and family, they recommended different people that suggested different treatment and I tried them all, sorry but I don´t know the right terms in English but I tried electrostimulation, acupuncture, massages combined with heat...

    @jumper214 Good to know you are back on track. I watched this video a couple of months ago and I still do some of those exercises (see 1:45 and 2:30) for instance, like I said I watched a lot of videos about posture and correct form during this process to recovery.

    @naomyt English isn´t my first language so sorry in advance for any confusion. Like I said first I did only cardio, often 50´bike and did a circuit of 4 exercises in the end, usually some variation of abs and squats and repeated 3/4 times. Then I decided to include in the final part of the...

    Like the title said just a bit of a celebration. I was always very active, football as a kid (soccer if you like) then swimming, then water polo for 6 years. In my adult life I did mostly swimming or gym. About 4 years ago I had a shoulder injury, it hurt a lot and I only tried to treat it...
