Sometimes you gotta bring the gym to the gym!
I’m nursing a shoulder labrum injury from basketball and I love the ski erg setting on the VOLTRA from Beyond Power for situations like this.
The resistance is smooth and pretty close to a real ski erg machine.
Shoulder extension (pulling down) is always easier early on with an injury like this.
The goal is to keep using as much range of motion as possible, in this case pulling instead of pushing/lifting through the range.
Another great exercise at this point is a D2 flexion diagonal pattern - think drawing a sword.
Diagonals are a great bridge to pure vertical pressing exercises 👌🏻
