I generally prefer to train people outdoors in a park setting.The workout outside is just as tough as a gym workout.I can give people a excellent workout using just their bodyweight.I do a bootcamp style class with groups of 5-10 people.

Question
Hi! I have been weight lifting for about 3 months straight and about a week ago my right shoulder started to hurt when i moved it in a certain way(like at the bottom of the bench press lift when i get ready to push up it hurts) Anyways i have done some push-ups and am not in pain when i do them so i was wondering if for now it would be ok to do push-ups for a while until my shoulder heals, and also will i be able to maintain or even gain bench press strength by doing pushups. By the way im 16 Thanks for your time!

Answer
Hi Terry-thank you for your question.
You should probably go to a doctor and see how badly your shoulder is hurt,but if it is not bothering you when you do push ups-then it should be OK for you to continue doing push-ups.You can probably maintain bench press strength by doing push-ups.Try doing push ups in different positions-feet elevated-upper body elevated-etc.
   Thanks,
       Bonnie
