Hurt my shoulder playing softball and the physio suggested a bunch of exercises, increasing the weight by 1 pound a day. We’re on day/pound 3 now. No idea what I’ll use tomorrow but that’s a whole different day’s problem!

    Water is reasonably dense. One gallon is a little over 8 pounds, so that buys you a few more days. After that you’d need to move to something like sand, but I assume at some point you’ll stop needing to increase the weight. 90 lbs shoulder exercises after 3 months body builder territory.

      Good thoughts and I actually used water in smaller jars for days 1 and 2. My issue is finding things large enough to hold the requisite amount of water (without spilling it all over myself.)

      But yeah, I’ve only got to get to 7 days and then we’re hoping my shoulder should be back to full mobility so I can go back to real exercises.

          Ooooh, that’s an interesting one! I hadn’t considered using a bag to hold several smaller things…! I think you’ve just solved days 4+!
