Looks good. Suit up. 

 

Seriously, this is encouraging.

Well at least his triceps are OK...

Surprised he didn't shatter his arms. The guy missed 4 games after getting his foot stepped on afterall

Is there a physical therapist in here that can tell me if Ed Oliver is supposed to be using such limited range of motion for rehab? Or does his pushup form actually just suck?

Im just assuming that you don’t want to extend the arm fully with tension just yet.

 

But not only that, that is also a type of push up.  It works the hell out of your chest because it stays flexed.  You just don’t want to only do that because it will limit your range of motion.  In prison, they call it bouncing.

Do you have experience in prison cells?

I think front of delts is heavily involved here as well, which could be intentional for rebuilding muscles surrounding where the tear occurred (without putting too much strain on actual repaired area)?

My neighbor in high school used to deal and tag buildings/bridges.  He is a good guy now, just a little wild when he was younger.

I am assuming they pay you to clean up after those?

Why are you assuming there’s clean up?

He's going to be awesome in the playoffs

All humor aside, the video does look encouraging.

I am still laughing out loud. These look pretty close to whatever Oliver was doing there.
