Great video man, thanks

Nice information! I currently am working with the Olympics weightlifting team as their sports medicine provider (ATC) and can concur with you! It's also nice to watch your videos as review and help some of the Chinese doctors learn as well. Keep it up!

Thanks for the video man. I wish I could find a doctor like yourself around the New York City area. I've been a weight lifter for over 25 years I am constantly struggling with shoulder issues in spite of doing a lot of rotator cuff strengthening work.

Great video .... Finally a unit that's built well , has good posture and sound advice !!!

It could be a precursor to impingement and pain

Hey doc I noticed they're a lot of exercises to retract the shoulder blade. Could you make a video on good exercises for shoulder depression. Maybe scapular pull-ups?

What about anterior impingment of the LHB tendon? My tendonosis has been there for 3 months and it was due over-straining or stretching the tendon doing an elbow body-weight move on the pole. The movement rotates the shoulder inwards. What is your take on hanging passively from a bar in that case?

Do you have any examples of the stretches for prime movers? Good video explaining everything but you don't show how to actually fix the problem.

I keep a lot of resources on my instagram or i do online rehab coaching at www.pre-script.com !

Does this all still apply if you only experience symptoms with over head movements, mostly in the external rotation position?

Thanks for the video. Question: should you shrug at the top of overhead presses or keep traps depressed throughout? I've been reading conflicting advice on this issue concerning the risk of shoulder impingement from OHP exercises. Thanks!

Y Fish I have the same question. Rippetoe says shrug, Pavel and others say pack.

Dont shrug. Currently working as an athletic trainer with the Olympic weightlifting team for China. Dont shrug, it can cause disruption with the scapular rhythm and movement pattern. Shoulder flexion utilizes the lower trapezius in order to help fight against scapular tilting and aids in the ROM lifting the arms up

great video squirrel nuts

Hi doc , is shoulder clicking(no pain) bad?

just found your channel , really apriciate how you are in to what you are teaching.Bless you , beautiful to watch.Btw it seemed like you were running out of breath during the video , you okay?

Great info! I have a quick question for ya... If I lie face down on a flat bench and try to press over head(I have been using a 5lb plate) I feel a severe weakness at full extension and a slight pain in the shoulder. Where do you think this is coming from and what is a good exercise to fix? Thanks in advance!

Where is the pain located ? If you're face down and pressing over head then your isometrically activating externally rotation of the shoulder . If the pain is felt around the back of the shoulder like a "pinching " feeling it could be posterior capsule tension aka posterior entrapment of the shoulder . OR you could have some scapular tracking/ stability issues. Try the rotator cuff progression in my videos as well as the lacross ball myofascial release and see if that helps!

+The Muscle Doc when I reach full extension, it comes from the area of the AC joint, but seems to be deeper in the tissue so I don't think it's the AC joint itself.

You best

Awesome video. I wish I'd seen it 2 years ago. I had surgery last year due to carrying on training with an impingement..

Do supplements like glucosamine help

Medial Delts, Pects, Triceps and Lat Dorsi need the stretch

The problem is that i feel the impingement and the nerve pinch when i retract and depress the scapula. what to do?

Try stretching your rhomboids. Clasp your hands together on front of your body while pulling forward. You can move your arms up and down changing the angle of pull and sensation of stretch. Also, try using a lacross ball to help mobilize your thoracic joints

Chris Duffin believes that mace swinging was crucial for him to heal his shoulders. Do you think that club or mace swinging could help some people with shoulder impingement issues?

hangonsnoop I anticipate that a guy who sells a Mace like product would advocate its use . It depends on what's causing the impingement. Is it primary due to bad posture/ improper loading . Or Is it secondary to some structural pathology?

I really hope you see this comment, do you reccomend heat or ice? You can email me if you would like, thanks!

heat! bec it allows more blood flow. Ice is just something you apply at the very beginning to prevent swelling.
