Well as many know I had my shoulder surgically repaired from a torn labrum and rotator cuff. I am currently doing therapy and should be back to 100 percent by the beginning of May. Lately I have been setting up my workout to weigh my options on what I want to do, as it has been months since I last worked out due to my injury. I am still young and don't plan on doing AAS anytime soon and just wanted to get basically as big as I possibly can naturally. I still do not know much about AAS and since I am so young, I figured it would not be a good idea to just jump into it. I was reading through the forum and came across the Slingshot Training System and read the entire thing. What a great piece of work right there. I figured I would give this a try. 8 week reload then 2 week deload. Here is a sample of my workout. Is this a good workout to start with? How does it look according to how Slingshot Training should work?
