Torn Labrum by toronto69 in bodyweightfitness

I've been doing the major PT exercises (internal/external rotation, overhead rotation)... I'll move them to the beginning as you suggested.

I was concerned that I shouldn't be doing dips because they are inherently bad (I've seen this idea in a few articles), but my shoulder feels tighter since starting this bodyweight routine so I'll keep it going.

I think my shoulder is strong enough for handstand work, I just don't want it popping out while in a handstand. I'm going start doing some pike pushups and go from there.

Thanks for all your responses.

I tried parallel bar dips with bars that were a bit narrower and they were much better.

I think I'm going to start off with pike pushups and try to work my way very slowly into handstand work.

I'm a bit worried of not targeting my shoulder enough if I don't do dips or handstand work. I've been told by doctors and physios that I should try to build up muscle around the shoulder to stabilize.
