A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

Can you point me to exercises for supraspinatus muscle. I had a partial tear of its tendon and wold like to get it in shape again.

Does the tendon recover at all?

I have been rehabbing my shoulder and speaking to friends with similar shoulder issues.

One of the better guides we have found was this guy: https://youtu.be/4Gli-tybcyw?si=6NwRkgrxFOXRZ641

His general approach is very cautious. His big issue is giving the tear better conditions to heal. Putting the arm in a sling whenever you can immobilizes joint and takes the pressure off the tear. Then strengthening the traps will fix things more than rotating the arms under load - because the ball of the joint will sit higher and more centred in the socket putting less stress on the tendons.
