Why not seated with the back of an adjustable bench positioned so you're sitting upright? Have you tried that or does it feel uncomfortable/unnatural?
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

I've never tried it in the past for shrugs and Its one of the things I'm going to try when I get at it. I'm just not sure If it's something I'll be able to do efficiently and consistently under a load. I'm sure that sounds pussified and I'm over complicating things, but I'm trying to make sure I've got to have every angle covered and backup plans in place. I'm gonna sound old AF, but the hip is definitely taken for granted and you'll never think twice about it until it's trashed lol.

Sitting, standing, laying down....all causes pain. Pain is a normal part of my days. I'm trying to figure out where it's worth the temporary increase lol. For example, deadlines, squats and leg presses would be way to painful and near impossible for pain and ROM. However, i am gonna try to do above knee rack pulls and Farmer carries for traps, back and whatever else they hit. The rom is reduced and I can limp through the pain lol. Seems counter productive, but it might draw a better picture of what I'm shooting for.

Right now, my motivating re entry goal is to start working what really gets noticed just walking around in clothes. Traps, back, and shoulders. Get my damn width back and hide them handles a little bit. I've never had good tris, so I'm gonna focus on Jumpstarting them to. Slowly add and build on that program lol
