Post-Op Reality Check: 6 Months of Shoulder Recovery

Six months post surgery update — what’s improved, what still sucks, and what I wish I knew early. In this video I break down my recovery honestly: post op rehab, the milestones that actually mattered, the setbacks I didn’t expect, and the training decisions that made the biggest difference. If you’re coming back from surgery (or coaching someone who is), this is the real-world timeline—not the brochure version. Shoulder surgery can be daunting, but you can be successful! What I cover: Where I started vs. where I am at 6 months Range of motion, strength, and what still feels “off” Pain levels: what’s normal, what’s a red flag The rehab/training pieces that moved the needle most What I’m doing next to get back to 100% (and what I’m avoiding) Big takeaway: recovery isn’t linear. You don’t need perfect—you need consistent, smart progress and the patience to stack boring wins. If this helped, drop a comment with: -what surgery you had, how far post-op you are, and what you’re stuck on right now. Disclaimer: Educational only.
