Ok..so I was going back and forth on this topic with Rowdybrad in the chatbox and I would like to get some info from you folks out there to a possible fix to this.
Little backround, I had orthoscopic shoulder surgery last yr in late Sept. Ive healed fairly well and have been back in the gym four months after surgery and successfully made it without injuring myself through my first cycle. Took it slow, didn't go heavier than I could handle. In Dec of last year I couldn't press the BB off my chest due to the pain. But am now back to 225 for reps and getting stronger weekly. Past month I have been getting the old buring sensation back in my shoulder/top of my bicep and my doc told me early signs of arthritus. Sucks but I have to deal with it.
Now I dont know if this is just me, but my whole left side which was the bad shoulder is more developed then the right. My chest has more shape, my tricep/bicep is bigger..even my quad is more developed. Not by alot, but noticable. I did not have this problem prior to surgery through the years. But I have not been able to go heavy on alot of excercises due to fear of my shoulder separating. Now its stable enough that it doesn't move and I have been going heavier on all excercises where as I couldn't over the past 10yrs due to this injury.
What have you guys possible done to play catch up with a less developed side. Go lighter on your more dominant side and let the other catch up gradually lifting heavier??
