Shoulder Rehab

So it turns out that I have shoulder impingement...in both shoulders!  My wife's uncle is a PT and has shown me the ways back to a healthy shoulder, primarily through strength training.  I'm on a two day rotation with one day off per week - A-day and B-day, as I refer to it.  I'm about 9 days in and thought it time to report on the workouts:

A-day consists of the following
Dumbbell shrugs, 2 sets of 20
Dumbbell bent rows, 2 sets of 20
Back flies, 2 sets of 20
Push-ups to overextend, 2 sets of 20
Laying rotation lift, 2 sets of 20
Bench dips, 2 sets of 20
Stim and ice

B-day consists of the following (almost all cords)
Reverse flies, 2 sets of 20
Depression shrugs, 2 sets of 20
Downward backhand, 2 sets of 20
Downward chest flies, 2 sets of 20
Upward backhand, 2 sets of 20
Upward chest flies, 2 sets of 20
Front lat pull down, 2 sets of 20
Outward rotations, 2 sets of 20
Inward rotations, 2 sets of 20
Stim and ice

The focus is to hit the rotator muscles and increase strength as much as possible.  I'm feeling positive results thus far but get weighed down by mundane tasks that can't go away, and are slowing my recovery...like carrying my beautiful daughters!  Since I won't ever stop carrying the little ones, the road to recovery may be longer than expected, but I'm sure I'll get there.

Not sure if anyone ever reads this, but it reminds me to get my lifts in!

Merry almost-Christmas!
