Shoulder substitutions?

[gvaughn]

My physical therapist doesn't want me doing overhead presses because of the extension that they require in the lower back. I'm currently doing a Pure Strength rotation, and need help deciding if I should do additonal sets of lateral raises, or if there are other exercises I could try to build size and strength in my shoulders.

I have a barbell, dumbbells, a balance ball, a step, and a variety of xertubes with door attachments, etc. What would you recommend Cathe? Thank you for your help!

Hi Gretchen! You will get plenty of shoulder stimulation by simply doing all of the other shoulder exercises.
