Going back into gym for first time in a year

Other than TRX and cardio not sure what should do
Have had shoulder issues, Covid shutdown, and personal depression issues
Any suggestions or tips
Always like hearing from this board and trying to adapt what can do. It’s a Planet Fitness so no real free weights and they won’t let me use the HS room due to Covid restrictions right now.

What’s the issue with your shoulders? Stay away from the smith machine if you don’t want to aggravate them. I always found that the fixed position using the smith for presses can really frick up your shoulders.
I have a shitload of different machines you can use for lifting.
Use the DBs for flat and incline. I think they go up to 75 at PF. Follow Jim Stoppani on IG as he gives good advice on flat and incline DB positioning to protect your shoulders.

Extension issues rotator cuff issue and pec major tendon tear (Luckily was not something that required surgeries just one)
My issues came from a cable crossover machine and poor technique along with stubbornness on my part.

Good job going back to gym

awesome job getting back in the gym. Depression is a hell of a thing to get over. You'll find that exercising will clear your head.

It’s so awkward trying not to lift weights but TRX has worked and it’s correcting my technique
The cardio is hurting more than anything right now.

Couldn’t ride stationary it hurt for some reason. My quads were like no. So walked 30 minutes
I was close to giving in to the not good enough demon at first

Everyday you have a choice to get better or not. Don’t be a bitch.
At least that’s what I tell myself. Keep getting after it!

Gym helps me through a lot of issues. Keep pushing yourself!

Wednesday was my first day back in the gym since early March. Been too sore since it was my first time back but I'm gonna try to go tomorrow morning.
I'm doing a beginner 5x5 variation with the big lifts like squats, bench press, and deadlifts with some other lifts like bent over rows, lat pulldowns, overhead press, and curls when I have time.

I so wanted to give up yesterday...The Baws were like no dude you can't use this machine etc... I know not lifting heavy but it irked me. Just probably going to cardio and figure out something else to do?
Because of the injury the weight im doing is not heavy but it's also wrecked my confidence.

frick what people think. They sound like assholes.
Posted on 9/23/20 at 12:56 pm to sms151t
What George said, FRICK DEM!!! You go in there and do your thing, block everything else out. I get in a mode where I'm in my own world, someone could be standing onside of me with a knife about to shug me and I wouldn't see them. I am so focused on what I have to do.
AND.....I was a fat sloppy beast 6 months ago, but I fricking owned it. Yea people looked at me doing burpees and box jumps in the middle of the gym, doing farmer's walks around the damn perimeter, but I said FRICK DEM!
Like CT Fletcher says, you are either gonna be a beast or bitch, choose. And the gym aint the place to be comfortable, that's your couch at home.

Dumb Question...
Steering Wheels would give me delts and some foream work without hyper extending correct? Or is the Steering wheel a trap forearm?
Thinking of incorporating those somewhere in workout...

Damn that sucks but don't give up. I got a lot of looks when I first started lifting and could only squat the bar because of my knee.
Just realize the muscle dummies that treat people like crap are the most insecure. Become friends with them and wait a few weeks and then tell one of them "dude, how come you quit doing curls? You were looking so jacked."
He'll be fricked up in the head for years
