Left shoulder, same problem... After seeing this video and doing that warm up before push day everything has changed. Idk but it really works

[chrisolson]

I like to work out my rotator cuff muscles prior to my workout. I see and feel the stability in my shoulder complex during pushing and pulling movements.

[andrewlittles]

I felt that look in the very beginning especially if you know you need to workout your chest but, you know your shoulder is gonna suffer for it.

[curlyies]

I love these but i always want to know how to work this into my routines, before or after bench and for how many reps/sets

[arpitshivhare]

Tucking in my elbows instead of flaring them out worked for me 👍. Also a good shoulder warm up before chest workout.

[acason]

This is one of the biggest issues I’ve been having in my right shoulder for over a year now. So frustrating.

[tonysamaniego]

That 30 lb kettle bell looks tiny in this man’s hands 😂

[abdullahali]

I switched to dumbbell, now having the best painless chest workout

[zorw]

This doctor is amazing! I wish he would take me under his wing to learn everything he knows 💪🏽!

[speedweednfeed]

Thank you man. This piece of advice was absolutely amazing.

[ephaimortiz]

[NateWaldron]

My pain in my shoulder isn't when I'm lifting but the next few days after.

[cobaltblue]

I tried with the kettle bell and man this is so damn good

[daniels-mool]

Generally speaking I think it's a combination of many things, for me it was an issue with serratus anterior not holding my shoulder blade tucked (winging) and weak rear delts causing tremendous pain in my shoulder when benching or doing overhead press. A few push-up-pluses and some face pulls later it was fixed.

[samuelsolomon]

Thanks very much sir
This exercise has helped me a lot

[yourmomsfriedgravy]

I'm definitely going to do this! My intuition is telling me that this is perfect for my shoulder pain while pressing. I think I'll also try the band and one-sided weight with the overhead press 😁

[SweKelt]

Do you recommend to do that exercise before benching as warmup?

[randommcranderson]

I dunno if the music at the beginning is necessary or enhances in any way.

great video otherwise - this is something I struggle with a lot and will try this drill.

[MrEazyE]

What's with that opening video though?! 😅
