Just wondering if the exercise is helping or going to hurt me.
I was 42 for the first and 48 for the second. Had been lifting since mid twenties. Not sure how I tore the first time but the second time was definitely incline presses. Felt the pop bringing the bar down.
They say after 40 a guy should not do any heavy overhead presses like military press due to the likelihood of an injury.
Both surgeries were rotator cuff and bicep tendon repairs.
