Wendler's Beach Body Challenge

Bigger Stronger Leaner Jim Wendler 5/3/1 Coaching

So I’m going to take a break from Wendler’s classic 531 and since I’m going to the beach later this year, I figured I’d do his beach body challenge. The only problem is I’m trying to recover from shoulder bursitis.

The Press and the pull-ups will probably have to be substituted. I guess I’m looking for proper substitutes.

I think I can bench press instead of OH press and not aggravate my shoulder, but lifting my arms over my head is definitely out.

Thanks in advance!

You can use incline press and chest-supported rows as alternatives. It’s in one of his books as a substitute for bigger guys, but it’s also just lower impact on the shoulders.
