Now, when I do shoulders I feel that I can physically push harder but can feel my shoulder wants to pop so I am forced to hold back… frustrating as hell!!
I can also not hold the bar for squads with my bad shoulder so I avoid squads unfortunately, I do the machine squad in it's place. Also, behind the neck shoulder presses are out for me. Can't bend my arm at 90 degrees, l have to do front shoulder presses at a slight incline (slightlty less than 90 degrees).

Geez bud, that's quite a story! Sorry to hear about your accident but it’s great that your not giving up so thumbs up to you! Just for interest sake, do you still ride motorcycle after your accident? Me, I prefer sports cars!!!
