A member asked:

Can you still powerlift after rotator cuff surgery?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

You can.: With a successful repair and appropriate post-operative rehab, you should be able to resume powerlifting. However, you should be aware that you are more likely to incur a re-tear than most patients, because of the immense forces on the rotator cuff, associated with powerlifting.

I agree: This also depends on the time frame post op. Your physical therapist will be able to give you an accurate time line as to when you may begin this.
