First day back hitting the iron. Gym was pretty crowded for noon time. Getting acclimated to the typical judgmental vibe from the regulars. I did some extra stuff for shoulder, but I'll have to do a bit more research and see what I can do to alleviate the shoulder impingement and strengthen it with some extra shoulder exercises.

Today is the day.
Doctor's given the green light for getting back to lifting the iron and swimming, BUT no pull-ups, or any overhead pressing movements or anything involving reaching behind me overhead.
Monday will be Day 1. Here we go!

Close, but no cigar.
I've had 21 physical therapy sessions, 3 a week, so I've been in PT for approximately 7 weeks. I still have a little bit to go. My overhead shoulder flexion is at about 93% of full 180 degrees. External rotation not quite a bit there as well. My strength is at about 85%.
In summary, the doctor's prescribed another month of pretty aggressive stretching.
