Default Shoulder substitutions?

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!

Default RE: Shoulder substitutions?

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