Re: healing
Take it easy on the shoulder area, can take about a year to heal.

Re: healing
Dips between chairs can be quite strenuous on the shoulders, I do 3 chair dips and notice it works my shoulders. You can do kneeling 2 chair dips to ease any stress, I've done floor push-ups where when I reach my max I'll go onto knees and then after I've reached my point of no more I'd use a box to...

Re: healing
Depends how serious the injury is, even mild shoulder strain can take a long time. Do you have the Atlas Dynamic Tension System ? it has many helpful exercises.

Re: healing
For me the Atlas self resistance exercises are very therapeutic for strains, you can't over do it since you'll get a signal to how much tension you can apply. The Dynamic Tension shoulder lesson has movement which helps a lot in blood circulation.

Re: Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy
Over the past few weeks I experimented to gain weight by eating much more carbs, I gained about 2 lbs but don't think this is muscle but feel it's around the middle since the waist is an inch more. Thing to do now is to just stay where I was and not eat more to think I'll put on more muscle size, th...

Re: Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy
I'm working towards doing them in one set each which is very hard and may not make it but it's a goal. I mainly work doing 5 sets of each but not that many yet. Atlas dips are hard for me since I have long skinny arms, easier for stocky guy maybe. I can do 15 to 20 Atlas 3 chair dips in a set so it'...

Re: Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy
I don't know how long such goals would take or even if I get to that level. I do 4 easy sets then on the 5th set do as many as I can but my job can effect my workouts since I'm a labourer, so there's no set date.

Re: Getting rid of belly fat ~ easy
My wife and her brother go hiking every Saturday morning for about 3 hours, the snow here in SW Ontario doesn't stop them. They plan to do the Camino de Santiago trail this Summer, 791 km (490 miles). I've maintained my body weight of 138 lbs, most guys at work think it's ridiculously low but I was ...

Re: Lesson 3 Exercise 3
True when doing a forward bend the knees should never be locked and just very slightly bent. Because of my studies in exercise, movement is always done slow, this reduces any kind of momentum and over stretch. At 62 and work on construction sites I have zero lower back problem. My job calls me to li...
