   | First Pics I thought i'd post a few progress pics although not very good quality, ill try and get some better pics in the next few weeks. I have been doing cardio only for the past 3 and a half months due to a rotatorcuff injury, i was given a cortisone injection and advised to leave the weights alone for around 6 months. However i did do some light chest press the other day and a set of bicep curls and felt a burning sensation up my right shoulder :( I think physio may be the next option?? 18 Months ago, weight = 234 lbs  Now, weight = 182 lbs   Last edited by Lee; 09-08-2004 at 02:27 AM. |

| I also have a rotator cuff problem at the minute (on and off for years actually). I'm currently seeing a physio, and he thinks that he can sort the problem. So it may be worth giving it a whirl. |

 | Yah bro! take it easy on the comeback trail. Dont doo behind the neck military pressed nor do behind the neck pulldowns. Let your stuff heal and do the rototor exercises they recomend. Rotator injuries suck and I have this. Takes time but time heals (trust me). You will be fine. You have been making massive gains and look good. Keep up the good work. |

| GREAT job mate. well impressed. as for rotator cuff,t hey are a nightmar,e and you must take care of them. as hackskii says, no BNP/BNPD's and no heavy benching/pressing in general. Definately go and see a physio and they can give you some good exercises to build them up with these big rubber band thingy's! |

| Thanks for your comments  I have lost quite a lot of size over the past 3 months due to not doing any weights, ive lost an inch off my arms (now 16.5') and neck, lats and rear delts have also come in :( Suprisingly enough the doctor didnt give me any rotator excercises to do :confused: .. i had the injection and was told to rest my shoulder, that was it :( Ill go back to the doctor this week and get reffered to see a physio  To help with recovery ive been taking glucosamine sulphate tablets (500mg) but ive been told to get some glutamine? apparently a few tea spoons a day of this will help my body to retain muscle while fat burning?

| Lee, L-Glutamine is good for catabolism and this happend when we diet (calorie defecient). I take some V12 first thing in the morning. Your L-Glutamine should be taken apon awakening, after a workout and I have heard before bed. Have not tried the after bed thing tho so I cant say for sure but this is what I have heard. |
