You got it. I'll send you the link separately from the routine I do. If you have any questions, we can use that to talk over (less clicking through pages).

I got x-rays done on my left shoulder after I hurt it in September last year. There was no way I could afford an MRI and the docs said there was no muscular damage.

They concluded that I was suffering from 'rotator stress'. I went to two different rehab guys and they both had me do stuff with the big rubber bands. I was out of the gym for a solid 5 months.

When I went back into the gym, yeah, I had lost a lot of strength but I gained it back quickly. My back and my legs are my strongest muscles because, I too, am still weak in my pecs and delts. The only things I know to do are stretch before workouts, take my vitamins, and eat a lot of food so my muscles can perform the hypertrophy I'm demanding of them.

Sounds like you've already recovered a lot of your fundamental strength with those pushups and pullups.
