For those who don't venture into my journal I have f**ked my shoulder.

So far squatting, pressing, cleaning and snatching have all been ruled out. Leaving me with limited scope for a routine.

How have you guys managed to train around injurys, shoulder ones in particular?

I'm reader of your log and know about your misfortune. To be honest i'd stay away from snatch and stick with power cleans, fronties, back squat, deads, chins. Maybe use this oportunity to increase fitness level if you think it's needed. Cant think of much more movement you could throw in, unless you're ready to go 'fresher'Wink

How about doing hack squats on a machine or smith machine, its pretty close to a normal squat interms of movement and range of motion. This will help keep your squat in some kind of reasonable shape.
If you haven't seen a proper physio yet about your shoulder then now is probably a good time, identifying the problem now will make the road to recovery much swifter IMO.
Hope it recovers soon

That injury sounds officially gay. I read your journal; since when had squats become out of the question?

I'd be hitting things (with my non-injured arm) right now if I was you. In all honesty, if it's got that bad, f**king see someone about it. I can pawn your 292.5kg trophy if you want?

Ok Tony, just read about your aborted squats.

That reinforces what I said in my previous post: SEE SOMEONE ABOUT IT.

You must be f*cking pissed off right now. It doesn't sound like you can just work around it, mate.

Speaking as someone who is currently awaiting surgery on his shoulder after years of abusing it I would say keep away from anything that will directly stress the shoulder capsule until it heals up.

Things I have tried are
Leg presses, extensions, curls, harness sled pulls, hyperextensions, abs, reverse hypers. Squatting with a safety squat bar. If you can find one try a belt harness to do hack squats. Even try a manta ray so you change the level of stress on the shoulder. I even tried a weird front squat device that held the bar for me - damn that was weird.

None of it has replaced the big 3, but it keeps the strength level ticking over nicely and the variations on all the work has even been fun. Though I do get funny looks sometimes dragging tractor tyres a local field

PS - I'll add my voice to the crowd - see someone to get it fixed
