I have a posterior labral tear. What lifts shouldn't I do with it? Can I do curls, pull ups, triceps extentions, pullovers... etc? I have been benching on the floor, as I hear the elbow shouldn't go behind the back with the tear.

3What does your physical therapist/doctor say?– JohnP ♦Commented Jul 19, 2014 at 17:12

3I agree with @John. Your medical team should be directing your rehab, not people on a site with no knowledge of your orthopedic evaluation.– BackInShapeBuddyCommented Jul 24, 2014 at 5:15

What lifts shouldn't you do when suffering a muscle tear, cartilage tear, soft tissue damage, hard tissue damage or broken bone?
Well, until your doctor says otherwise, I'd stay away from:
- Deadlifts
- Squats
- Bench press
- Overhead press
- Bicep curls
- Tricep curls
- Quadricep curls
- The frequently unheard of Quinrecp, Hexacep and Septecep curls
- Running, jogging, walking faster than an elderly person with a zimmer frame
I'd also steer clear of Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and churchbells.
Maybe just stick to bench squats, preferably performed on your couch, at a cadence of 5-seconds down, the length of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Pumping Iron in the low position and 5-seconds back to the starting position.

1So it seems you have stumbled upon the exact reason why getting medical advice over the internet is risky business.– user2861Commented Jul 24, 2014 at 4:44

1@GeoreShg - So...the entire sarcasm of the post goes over your head and you focus on a misworded title? Your question is off topic and asking for medical advice. Offering a bounty on a bad question won't help anything.– JohnP ♦Commented Jul 24, 2014 at 14:42
