shoulder scope

[afdsaint]

i will be recieving arthroscopy shoulder surgery to remove bone spurs in the AC joint
they are talkin 2-3 days in a sling, and then 2 months before heavy lifting (bench, military, cleans, etc)
what can i do to keep in shape/reduce atrophy during this time?
what about max contraction?

Prior to the surgery, ask your doctor how long could it be before you're able to train with light weights. Chances are, you'll have to work out with light dumbells and machines/cables until you're fully healed. If this is an occupational injury, make sure that you get your doctor's approval in writing to cover your butt.

In the past year, I've had an arthroscopy on both knees, with the most recent being this past June. So I'm in the same fix, somewhat. I have to give up powerlifting and return to bodybuilding in order to prevent any further knee injuries. And it sucks not being able to perform squats or deadlifts anymore.

I was told the same thing - about a 30 min operation.

When they woke me up after the surgery - 3 hours later - they said they found my infraspanatus damn near torn off and they had to cut me open to reattach it .)
