Shout out to @Chris! Decided to workout with my wee little 5&8# weights at home. Used the technique he told me about (pinching shoulders together) and it was much easier to control the dumbbells AND didn’t hurt my shoulder as much. Hurt the scar but most things do which is why I went down to the 5# weights.
No cramps on squats. Tried lunges that I see gym goers doing where you touch the ground when you come down. Felt like an idiot but it burned more than usual lol. Also did my own version of the twisty machine, rows, presses, flys... while laying on my back on the floor. Not sure if it built muscle but I’m weak and shakey like usual. The best part is I popped a ton of places on my back! Even pooped a knee and shoulder. I managed 5 pull-ups with both bands and 3 with the little band before the workout. Afterward I managed 5 with the little band. Almost didn’t make the last couple.

Thanks Jeannie! It’s hard finding motivation at home but it’s worth it. Couldn’t get to the gym with the storms and flooding and don’t like going alone.

Me too Chris. I did like laying on the floor as it kept my back straight and I could easily feel what my shoulders and back were doing. Plus it popped so many places lol. Places I have a hard time getting to pop. Laid on my side for a modified bicep/tricep workout. Also did some standing up but at that point I was tired and rapidly going through exercises. Those, roll over and do more fly’s, leg lifts, twists, hip thrusts or whatever they are called.... It’s easier for me to just keep going. If I stop I’ll want to quit lol. A tiny bit sore today but nothing like usual and I’m able to pop between my shoulder blades today. I hold tension there, my shoulders, neck, scalp and jaw it seems. Since I can’t run my own upper back it helps when I can pop it. Seems to loosen up a bit.

Thanks! @Kay, you could do some squats while holding onto a chair for stability. It may come in handy in a few months. (Pregnancy/birth joke there😉)
