The shoulder mobility exercises and stretches in this video are exactly what I've used to go from a desk jockey who could hardly put his shirt on without feeling shoulder pain to a fit 35-year-old who does handstands, dragon flags and back bridges. Enjoy!

Warm-Up Routine 1:00
Shoulder Extension Lifts 4:23
Lat Pulls 5:36
Shoulder Dislocates With Band 6:29

How To Use This Routine: 9:46
Outro (it's not a tractor) 10:50
To really improve shoulder mobility you'll want to work on gradually increasing your ROM on these 6 exercises. However, if you're in need of a lot of work, you will notice some improvement after just 1 or 2 sessions. These stretches and exercises work so well that some results can be noticed almost instantly.
I show some shoulder mobility exercises with band and stick (dowel or broomstick will work), while other exercises require zero equipment or just a wall. The only exercise that requires legit fitness equipment is the scapular pull ups which require a pull up bar.
WARNING: if you experience any pain while doing these exercises, immediately stop and consult with a doctor or (preferably) physical therapist. You may have a muscular imbalance causing an impingement, which should be corrected before trying to improve your ROM on these exercises.

    A little tip here, if you scratch your back be sure to alternate your hands, as I found my left arm has better mobility than right(always holding a mouse), works on your shoulder extension and abduction and lateral rotation if I'm right?

    Most fitness coaches advocate against the behind the next lat pulls because it is uncomfortable, especially when done with weights. Your version should be just fine. I also do the shoulder dislocates with bands.

    You’re welcome 😊 It could be because of something you do in your day to day life. Pay close attention to how you sit, hold the steering wheel, reach for the mouse and keyboard, etc. It’s crazy how much these things can impact us. My left lat has always been a little tighter than my right because of how I reach my left arm across the steering wheel (and other things I do).

    Romina Lazaroff every day might be a bit much. I’d suggest starting off with 3 or 4 times per week. If you don’t experience any soreness or pain (like an impingement) then you could do it more, I guess, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

  • @MinusTheGym

    @MinusTheGym

    3 жыл бұрын

    RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation. So basically, avoid upper body exercises for now, apply ice several times a day for 20 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation, and wrap an ace bandage on it for compression (the shoulder is naturally above heart level so that takes care of the E in RICE). Lay off the exercise and use this treatment until pain has completely subsided and you can do basic shoulder movements without pain again. Without working with you 1:1 I can’t say what’s causing this imbalance of yours. Your best bet is to work with a physical therapist. But if that’s not an option, run through all the upper body stretches to find out what’s tight and then stretch those muscles regularly. Also work to strengthen the opposing muscle groups with bands. It’s very common that internal rotators (pecs, subscapularis) are tight and need to be stretched while the external rotators of the upper back need to be strengthened. This is from all the hunching we do with computers and such. But only a physical therapist is truly qualified to diagnose what’s wrong. And , of course, it’s always possible you just slipped into bad form during the burpee...
