Injuries
Hi I am an x highschool wrestler who has suffered from torn and missing labrums and torn rotator cuffs on both shoulders. I have had 5 shoulder surgeries and am currently recovering from a fractured clavicle. I got pretty strong doing the traditional heavy free weight lifting in high school but that is not what I'm looking for. I have tried cross fit but found it to be very hard on shoulders. I want to maintain weight at 190 just tone back up as soon as I'm healed. Any tips??

Try removing around 10g Carbs from all the meals in your diet and replacing the calories with Fat.
This creates a maintenance, but the Carb deficeit will force the body to use Fat for energy, so you might find this helps reduce Carb to fat conversion and subsequant storage, if you lose some calorie burning potential, because your workouts are less intense or even stopped.
Unless you're consuming 20g or less Carbs per meal, in which case don't cut, but I am guessing you have more than 20g a meal, so you could cut and replace with Fat.
Just make sure the Fat is from healthy sources obviously.
Also try checking this out and see if it helps. There's a section on Labrum injuries.
