I developed adhesive capsulitis in my right shoulder about five months ago. It took a couple of trys to find a doc whose answer was not, “i will give you a cortisone injection but you’ll just have to live with it because you are old” but I did find that doc. After a surgical procedure, I am doing PT and making good, if slow, progress. One of the limitations: I can’t bear weight on my should for at least another month, which means I can’t do muscular endurance training that involves wearing a heavy pack.

What can I do instead? I mean I can do box steps or steep incline hikes without a pack, which is better than doing nothing at all. Are there any other options?

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, have you tried the UA gym-based (at home) ME program? https://uphillathlete.com/strength-training/at-home-muscular-endurance-workout-with-progression/

Jane – I have. But for the same reason that I can’t carry a pack, I can’t do burpees, turkish getups, goblet squats, etc. right now and that is a substantial portion of this workout. Worst case, I will do what I can using this as a starting point. Thanks!
