Everything Starts With Nutrition

I may give hanging a try. I recently went to several PT sessions for shoulder pain. It started a few years back when I tried lifting up our heavy garage door thinking it was unlatched. I gave it a hard pull with left arm thinking it would come up easily but it was was latched and the left shoulder didn't like that at all. My shoulders used to make noise from not having firm muscles to keep it all in place but the simple exercises they had me do tightened it up nicely.
Lets get on with the hanging!  Have to be careful when you say something like that nowadays.

For my chin-up bar (to hang from) I got one like this that hangs from my top molding, because my moldings are strong enough to hold it:

If you don't have moldings strong enough, you can something like this, but I would put the screws in and not just use pressure and friction to hold it in.  You don't want these things letting loose while you are hanging.

So, they have a rope on a pulley with two handles, you hang it from a door, sit in a chair, and use the opposite arm to help you reach full extension with the weak arm. They're about $10 on Amazon. And they absolutely work.

For me, I couldn't even get my arm straight up and down for a bit.  It was more just holding onto the bar.  And eventually, I could put a little pull on my arm (just a very small amount), then a little more, etc.  It took a couple of weeks.

I spoke with my Physical Therapist about hanging onto a chin-up bar. He said, "Uh, hold off on that a little bit."

I had a young lady Physical Therapist today. She tortured me but was extremely helpful. (I'm sore)
