I injured my left shoulder about a month ago but increasing pull up volume too quickly. Originally I thought I had aggravated a previously C6/7 radiculopathy but I saw my doctor today and she thought it was just a strain, likely of the insertion of my lat into my shoulder. The result has been discomfort with the arm overhead and with unilateral exercises.
In terms of S&S, I'm currently doing mostly two handed swings with 20 kg (my prior working weight) with 1H swings with 16 kg. (The higher weight is aggravating the shoulder).
I've been substituting naked TGUs just to maintain shoulder ROM as well as doing OS resets.
In terms of continuing to work on strength during recovery, would Farmer Carries (or Farmer's Carries) be a reasonable substitute? I did them in the gym today without any shoulder pain. If so, how would you program them?
