Hope his shoulders will be fine again.
Guess shoulder decay runs in his family.
Well, the way he told me is this: He worked his side caps on his delts more than most guys worked their whole body. He did this for well over 30 years.
He used them all up. The pain became so bad that he couldn't do ANYTHING without them hurting... not even writing.
Now, the pain is so bad... he's pissy as hell. Even after they heal, they will never be the same. You heal them with a box so that your arms are at 90 degree angles. Once they heal, the box is removed and your arms are stuck out to the side.
Then you have to have "manipulative therapy" which is basically breaking away all the scar tissue that developed during the healing process...
Also.. while they are healing.... you ain't doin' shit. Someone else has to wipe you ass... and do pretty much EVERYTHING for you.
sound like fun?
He said if he had it to do all over again, he would have lifted much lighter weights, and spent much LESS time doing it. He believes he would have still had great delts.
so do I ~
