Did you have pain in both shoulders on on just one side?
Hi James This video is so awesome. You wont imagine how this has helped my shoulder activation. Could never get it activated that accurately before. Cheers mate.
This video literally changed my life. Been in and out of PT for years and have been working with a personal trainer for almost a year now, and this is the first time I can execute a push up without shoulder pain 🥲 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! 👏🏼♥️
Awesome video! I'm having issues with my left shoulder. You explain things very well. Without a doubt, best video on this topic I've seen.

terrence teagle how long you had pain in shoulder?
Fantastic video. Just started w/ 15 push ups and you know what ...? Pain free! Yes! Feels great. Muscles pumping. Will do this on the daily basis progressing on technique and reps.
WOW! I Just did them and they're by far the best exercise out of the many I've tried. I usually can't do more than 5 pushups, but with your 3 step posture technique, I was able to pull a PR of 20!
Twenty years away from exercise due to pain and very recently I started doing exactly this and regained my trust in my body. Thank you.
Many thanks for this Mr Braithwaite, this is exactly what I wanted to see!

Well DONE!!! I am a PT. There are so many videos on here that to not stress posture and my biggest pet peve they stress doing them at 0 degrees
I am 8 days post-SAD on right side. has kept me out of the pool for a few years and wanted to get back in, so I went straight to surgeon and said fix it. I was doing pushups wrong the whole time, so havent been able to during the same time frame. I have most of my mobility back, cant wait until I am able to do pushups again! Great vid. thanks
Thank you. Very thorough, and knowledgeable.
Thanks. I’ve been looking for a safe push-up method. It was overuse of “T” push-ups that aggravated my shoulder impingement tendinitis.
I’m on it....thank you, exactly what I was looking for 👍🏻
This is just best of all the push up shoulder pain videos on youtube. The tilting(tucking) of shoulder blade instantly got rid of my shoulder numbness. Thanks a lot!
I will try this. Thanks for the tips, sir.
Thank you so much, this helped a lot. Really great advise and well explained ☺️
That's a damn helpful and well presented video James thanks
I was confused for a very long time if I should tuck the tip of my shoulderblade in or not. I kind of always imagined I would help with opening up the subacromial space for all the tendons to be able to move more freely (please don't quote me, I'm no expert). You are the first i see to point that out, thank you for that tip! I have a very angry shoulder for now almost 6 years and I'm not able to pass the point of a 50kg bench press pain free... Shoulder issues are very humbling... I will empathize the shoulderblade cue starting now! 😊
Dude amazing advice, ive been trying to figure this out for ages. Works like a charm
PERFECT demo and explanation. Thank you!!!
Thank you James. Super helpful guidance.
Keep space between chest and floor? Done and done! Most welcome advice I've ever listened to about push-ups!
Finaly got pretty much no pain during push ups after using these cues for a couple of months. Many thanks for the great video.
Keep up the good work James
It didnt really help my impingement issue but it sure felt good to do a set of pushups and only have my muscles hurting (burning good). So DEFINITELY thank you for that sir! P.S: For taller people (longer limb'd) people, it really helped me when I stopped doing chest/shoulder exercises and going past 90 degrees with my elbows. Pushups for example I dont lower myself past bending my elbow to 90 degrees, and if I wanted to go all the way down my elbows would be bent more along 45 degrees.

I got a pain at my drawing arm from archery right at the ac joint. I feel it when i touch the top of my shoulder. I think i get it controlled. Good posture seems to be important. Good posture means also balance of back and chest muscles.

Well done!
well, i have to say i think it reduced my shoulder impingement, but it also made my front shoulders sore... probably because i hadn't done a pushup in decades...
I did 40 pushups in a day (not in a row), while maintaning proper form and my serratus anterior was sore like it has never been before for 4 days straight! My pain in the right shoulder improved a lot when I did that. I waited the soreness to go away to then start pushups again. I am trying to recreate the proper position I was doing the pushups before, but it is not that easy. From my point of view, my problem is in fact recruiting the serratus when needed and basically changing the neuromuscular pattern.
Thank you😮 I just tried and my shoulder did not complain!!!
Really interesting,also the paper you wrote!what do you think about pull up with aching shoulder?i m think that using handles to supinate/pronate help,also not going fully dead hang but keeping scapula engaged at the bottom
Good video thanks.. I have a quick question. There are certain motions that my shoulder does not allow but notice that I can do most of my TRX exercises without any pain. So, if there is no pain can i continue a certain exercise. Thanks
I will give you all props LOL..This video is a joy to watch and it has good information as well. You provide awesome information and are funny. Thanks
Thanks. I've had it since the mid seventies alternating between left and right. Performing dips at the gym I think made mine flare up.

Hi, if i well understood, "rehab" push up should be done with only shoulder width's space between hand and also palm in slight external rotation ? Am I right ? Thanks for your thoughts
Hey man I do pushups correctly and I get a pinch under my left armpit. Where my arm and chest plate connect a pinch in that area. Any thoughts on it.
Great video love the posture adjustment techniques
I love the funny written commentary.
A lot of shoulder issues are from right pecs. Won’t this exercise make that problem worst? Are there not ways to make the posterior muscles stronger without also working the pecs and anterior deltoids?
Thanks for the video, it's helpful. But I find it very hard to do "to tuck my shoulder" when on fours. Could do it when standing.
This was very helpful. I tried it and didn’t feel my shoulder pain at all. Although it was much more difficult

Hello fatma
Yes, i can confirm. I started doing bands after my shoulder hot snapped. Then started to do push-ups. 1 year later i can do as many push-ups as before. Also try pullups but after a while. Couldn't do one. Hell, couldn't hang even. Now i can do 10. Almost as before. Dips still hurt me...
I'm dealing with a left shoulder impingement, so this is very useful information.

My left elbow pops when I tuck my arms closer to my body during a push up.
What should you do if you have back pain while doing it
Awesome I so want to keep training
Nice video thanks !! from your expertise would you say dumbbell bench press is good for rotator cuff or bad or potential for injury over time ??
External rotation hurts at the posterior. Lateral raises and presses hurt. Rowing and pulling don't hurt. Can someone help please?
Thank you so much you talk real it really worked
How wide should our hands be compared to our shoulders?
How many sets and reps should I do please?
my problem is kinda reverse to this one. I have no pain at all if my elbows are flared, but painful when tucked in, when doing a push up

Push ups make my shoulder issue worse?
It doesn't hurt, but my shoulder cracks and pops a lot now, when it didn't before. How do I stop that from happening?
I have had some impingement . I also have seen videos on hanging at full drop to stretch the shoulders. I've been doing it for about 3 days and it has relieved a lot of the pain and impingement. I'm hanging for 30 seconds then rest 2 minutes for 5 to 6 sets. I love push-ups and have been doing them for years I boxed when I was younger and they taught us to keep the elbows as close to the body as possible. Do you think this is part of my problem? I also transport cars for a living so I'm constantly doing a lot of overhead movement tightening straps and I also drive all day. I'm going to try your technique keeping my elbows out a little bit more than I normally do. I would appreciate your advice. Thank you

As far as I know it's the T-shape push ups that cause shoulder impingement, but try an inch width away from the body at least. Any where in between your arms touching your body, to your body making a T shape is correct. Just stay in between those, and not do those ever, and you should be fine.
GREAT VIDEO
This model applies for pullups too?
Thank you so much
Great video thanks!
Pushups destroy my shoulder (which i injured a decade ago) but for some reason incline bench doesn't. I have no clue why, but it's something that I've figured out over the past several years.

It has to do with your shoulder architecture. Over head presses should also feel good for you. Bench pressing is a shoulder killer for many especially those whos shoulder anatomy dont like them. Great news, they arent necessary!

Try to do a push up with your arms making your body look like an arrow. Do not form a T-shape when performing push ups, as this directly causes shoulder impingement.

@D Jam Only to a certain extent. If we go off of what you're saying, then doctors are guessing everytime they open someone up. The T-form will cause a shoulder impingement period. We know this because everybody's structure is in fact the same, except for dimensions. You have some issues of some kind if the correct form is hurting you. Perhaps to weak in the proper muscles. The wider push-up uses your bicep more than your tricep. You should go see a specialist.
Rely interesting! Have not heard some of these tips. Thank you. Self note: tip the shoulder blade, direction of inner lower corner. Rather than picturing as moving the shoulder blade back and down.
Is this going to interfere with proximal bicep tendinitis in the shoulder joint?
hello can i use push up bar
Nice video. Thank you.
Watched this dorky video a while ago when I was first researching my shoulder pain and ignored it. Maybe even scoffed. Now come back to it and think it’s awesome. Conclusion. Great video! Ha.
Those pants fit you really well.
Does this help for a torn labrum as well?
How many sets should i do?
A lot of people are pointing out that chest/front delt work (like pushups) will make rounded shoulders worse, and that is something to consider. However, if you're in the military, you have maintain your pushup ability while working on other posture issues. I found this video to be extremely helpful.
Thank you Sir
I have pain with I just lift my shoulder in front of me with no weights. It pops and HURTS A LOT, like 7/10 if I do it once and 9/10 (almost unbearable) if I do it a few times. I'm worried, I think something seriously torn. I've gone to multiple doctors and get different answers. I think it's this: Torn rotator cuff and bicep tendon is loose and rolling back and forth, along with torn labrum. I'll try just doing push ups but I think I need surgery on this

ANTHONYPAOLICELLI Go to a massage therapist and have them massage it out. You have the both pecs, bicep and some serratus at that spot so many people get tightness. Also, if you have an imbalance in your back you NEED to address that. Many people have weak rhomboid muscles. You have two of them. Many people have one shoulder that is rolled forward and this leads to many things. Check your posture. Make sure you get to a massage therapist. They will help you out. This video has great information as well.
best advice ever
First time this happened to me i did 200 pushups and woke up after 2 hours after feeling i have a broken shoulder this is currently as i type what to do
Crazy thank U on it👍
My shoulder grinds no matter the type of push up. What is this?
That was interesting! Every now and then, I encounter a shoulder impingement! Before, it was that I sat at my desk a lot without exercising! Now that I am exercising, based on your video, I think it is that when I do push-ups, I go all the way to the ground, till my chest contacts the ground! I could feel a little bit of discomfort after my pushups, but couldn't pinpoint what it was! However, I am also suspicious of my pull-ups! I think sometimes when I am tired, I just let go in the positive phase of the pull-ups. Can they create a shoulder impingement? (I know about the elbow impingement created by chin-ups and pull-ups)
@ryancortez8486

Yeah pull ups could be a culprit of impingement too! Try changing the grip to chin ups if you still have pain. Also watch some of athlean x videos about shoulder pain they are great!

its probably bicep tendonitis.i recommend doing some rotator cuff work ( mostly external rotation) and cut the range of motion and tuck your elbows when doing push ups if you are doing pull ups i would stop ( they are probably the worst excercise to do with shoulder problems) i hope this helps you
Wouldn't that be an anterior tilt?
i do that down and back posture when i do push up and end up injuring my right shoulder..got a chiro to fix that..will try your triple tuck..thx a lot!!
I’m trying this on bench tomorrow
I’ve noticed that the position of the shoulder blade will mimic the position of the hand placement on the floor
