Not the most relevant post, but I'm just so darn excited!!

Ok, so guess what I did today. A pull-up!

Alright, alright, you're thinking "whoop-de-doo, what a weakling." Not true.

Actually, it's a big milestone in the recovery of my torn rotator cuff. A month to two months ago the strain would've pulled the shoulder at least partially out of socket. But not anymore!

So why does this matter? Well, now I can cock a springer again!      

Folks, I've been doing my physical therapy religiously. To all you out there who have bum shoulders or knees or whatever, keep up that PT! It works. I might have an age advantage over most of the folks here, but I can guarantee that going from having the shoulder easily pulled out of the socket to being able to take half my body weight wouldn't have happened on its own. So do your exercises, and no excuses!

Eric Glad to haer you are doing better but when I first read you post, reading very fast, I thought you said you were excited because you got a pull up. I was thinking, what like depends or papmers. I had to slow down and read a little closer. Ok, I'm sorry. I did just wake up from a nap and nursing a hot cup of coffee. Glad your doing better.

lol thanks for sharing that Paul, I got a laugh out of it

Hmm.. who knows, maybe when my shoulder is as good as it gets I might get so excited I wet myself

Congratulations! It gets harder as you get older, slower, fatter and heavier. But I agree, I did 10 pullups tonight myself to end my workout.

That is great! I think it is very relevant! Good work.

Glad you are recovering Eric. A few years ago I had to rehab my right shoulder. I must have thrown that tennis ball 10,000 times against a brick wall over a 12 month period. At the beginning of my rehab my right shoulder was weak as a kitten. 10,000 throws later I had full use again. Stay motivated and you can reach your goal and surpass it.

Great job! I agree keep up the training. I know if I don't work out I get all crabby and start to hurt all over. Exercise is a great thing for the mind and body.
