I suffered a grade three shoulder separation a few years ago, likely from weight lifting. I took some time off for rehab with resistance bands, then resumed the weight training. It's not usually painful, but every once in a while I'll "aggravate" it and have pain on certain movements. Although I also Box once a week, it seems that the shoulder only acts up after a weight session. My GP says that I'm not a likely candidate for surgical repair.

My question is:

Is there a safe weight training regimen I can continue without risking further damage? I hate to give it up entirely, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of on-line material as to what reps to do and what reps not to do. Is there a "rule of thumb" on upper body exercises that would not put the shoulder at risk?

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
