Muscular Imbalance - Shoulder

[Guest guest]

My fourteen year son has suffered his second shoulder injury in the last 6

months. This summer while attending a wrestling camp he separated his right

shoulder at the AC joint. His pediatrician diagnosed a class 1 dislocation.

Since

the season was over he time to rest and do the rehab exercises the doctor

recommended. In about 3 weeks he was ok and began normal activities. Well last

week he re-injured his shoulder at practice. This time I decided to take him to

a Orthopedist. He performed x-rays and did a Mri.

The diagnosis was the same a class one separation of the AC joint. But the

one thing he pointed out that my son has a muscular imbalance. Noting that his

pectorals and front deltoids are far more developed than the lats, rhomboids,

traps and rear deltoids. He stated that can make him more prone to shoulder

injuries. He will be starting rehab tomorrow with a PT. I have a couple of

questions :

When he gets healthy what type of weight training regimented should he go to

? I was thinking a push pull type of program ?

What exercises should he avoid with the shoulder injury type of history ?
