Post Labrum surgery - what will help

[ma_fighter]

All I can add to this is: Whatever exercise you do, always keep your shoulders back and down. This creates the most room inside the shoulder, and its also a strong position for it. Imagine pinching a tennisball between your shoulders.
Another thing I was told regarding my impingement was "Its ok if it hurts a little bit while you're doing the lift, but it must NEVER hurt afterwards"

I havent had any surgery, just a cortisone shot (impingement), but its been almost a year now, and I'm still not 100% ok. Flys, benchpress, incline bench, shoulderpress, lat-raises etc, all hurt to some degree.
I hope you do better

Good Luck!

shoulders back and down is strongest position. It also helps tremendously if you have proper thoracic extension, that makes it easier to actually use the mid trap to stabilize the shoulder, which is correct anatomically. Bad posture/poor thoracic extension wreaks havoc on your shoulders as well as forces you to use your upper traps too much. That's where the impingement comes from, forward rotation. That's why the doc told him all back exercise is ok. Everyone can benifit from excelent thoracic extension.
