I took Wed & Thurs off this week. My left shoulder isstill aggravated and I know it is because it is difficult to support my own bodyweight in the pushup position!
You see, somehow I either strained or slightly tore a stabilizer muscle called the infraspinatus, which lies underneath my rear deltoid.
Having said that I am planning on doing a rehabilitation program to strengthen that stabilizer. As much as I want to train intensely to build muscle, this injury could become chronic and have longterm consequences, like the inability to workout as I age. It's that serious because this muscle is very slow to heal.
My rehab will entail a great deal of resistance band training and isometrics. I plan to refrain from training in a gym environment and training at home with my own equipment, my own bodyweight, resistance bands and light dumbell work. I will be training my legs and cardiovascular system with intense bike riding on my stationary bicyle (using resistance).
I will update this blog from time-to-time as I plan to re-start P90X as soon as my rehab is complete! I'll be posting before and after photos, maybe!
