I am a brand new member. 53 year old male. Last summer I started to try to do some body-weight exercises to deal with lack of body strength and developed pain in my shoulder that made it so I went from 3x15 pushups to not even being able to do one. I just recently became a member here in hopes to increase overall flexibility and strength, but also to help with this shoulder pain. I have been recently avoiding pushups, but still doing pull-ups and also some Mobility/WOD massage ball techniques which seemed like it helped my shoulder, but as I have very gradually started back into some pushups, the shoulder pain has increased.
I got into the crab position today for day one of the Fundamentals course which I just bought and though I could almost get into a good 90degree, I could not have my shoulder in that position without pain.
My question is, should I continue to try to do this or will I be adding to my injury? Or... will doing this position eventually relieve the shoulder pain?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
