RE: Road to American Ninja Warrior - Day 25

Good on ya bro. I've been meaning to read back through all your posts and see what these tendonitis exercises are about since I've had it in my left shoulder a long time. Funny I had it for about 3 years and did nothing, then I kinda tore it (not a tear but ripped it) and now it actually feels better. Almost like a bad thing made it better but still don't have 360 degree movement. I'd really like it 100% so I can go start Jiu Jitsu. Still gotta work on it and gonna go do some calisthenics after lunch. Thanks for the motivation, works both ways on Steemit!

Thanks dude! I will explain it all properly, but basically I've got golfers elbow and tennis elbow that really flare up with particular obstacles.

Jiu Jitsu is particularly rough on the shoulders with all the locks... you really want it as flexible as possible.. but yeah, it'll be so good once you're back in the groove. I've actually set up my own cable machine with some wire and a light kettlebell and do a series of rotator cuff type exercises... something like that might help strengthen and get some mobility back in your shoulder. So weird that a tear would help... but it kinda makes sense... the body doesn't really know how to handle overuse injuries... it doesn't really see it as a problem.. but the tear was obviously needed to be fixed... so all the blood flowed to that shoulder and fixed all the stuff.

I do a lot of heat and massage and rollering just to get the blood to flow into the areas that need help (no idea if it works... but y'know).
