I hope you guys read this : i had shoulder pain since a year and it went from working out 5 days a week to 0 . I was depressed and 3 doctor's told me to take Pain killer and rest nothing helped my shoulder. That took my down for a long time since this year i do this warm up and other exercises of you guys mostly everyday and i am completely Pain free i can work out again . Thank you !
More videos like this prefer these to the shorts. Never seen this done flat on face. I searched a lot for rotator cuff exercises at one point when injured
This warm up is actually incredible. I've been dealing with shoulder/rotator cuff issues for months. Yesterday I tried this and it's the first time in months I've been completely pain free the day after working chest and shoulders. One thing I would note, for more novice lifters including myself, you may not be able to complete all of the exercises with a weight. I could only do the first exercise with a weight, and the remaining ones were bodyweight only. I nonetheless reaped the benefits of this warmup.
This channel are saving my shoulders, hips and knees. Last tuesday i did 4 sets of incline bench press without pain, that was awesome. Thank you squat university guy.
@@yourlifetrulymatters the movment felt quite awlard first 5-10 times i did it. After some time i was able to get a mind muscle connection with upper. Start with low weight and focus alot on technique and the mental
Great Warm-up for any type of Overhead lifting. Use a small weight (2.5lbs) with 2 sec hold at top. 0:17 Lying T-Raise - focuses on priming the back-shoulder muscles before lifting. Mid Trap, Rhomboids. 1:28 90 Degrees External Rotation - pick hands off ground as high as possible. Rotator Cuff muscles. 2:50 Lying W-Raise 4:05 Prone Arm Circles - Starts in a Y-Raise position.
I want to thank you so much , you have no idea how much I was anxious about my shoulder pain to the degree that it would wake me up of sleep , a week of those exercises made a huge difference thank you so much 😢❤
Squat University Team, i can't even thank you enough for giving us such accurate and exact techniques to safeguard our joints (no matter which part of our body). I had ZERO knowledge of such warm up drills be it while doing upper body exercises before. I can say the same thing for the warm ups while going for Squats or Deadlifts etc. Just watching your videos i have learned a lot in the past 1 year. Now when i go to the gym and see people not doing such warmup drills, i just feel a little sad of the damage they are doing to their joints in their bodies. So Thank you once again for giving such incredibly valuable tips of how to keep ourselves safe while doing such exercises.
This channel has made my 10+ year weightlifting journey exciting again! Been dealing with shoulder pain for the last 5 years, thank you for sharing all of your knowledge on here!!!
Doing this warmup gave me one of the most rewarding shoulder workouts I’ve had to date. Used to always have popping or pains preventing me from going to failure, but now, my only limiting factor is my strength, not my pain.
Wow i just did this before my workout. My shoulders feel so good. I just started having a slight pinching in one shoulder blade from holding my huge 9 month old. I've never ever had any joint pain besides knees when i first squatting before my form was down. It freaks me out so much to have any pain that I'm super aware of the lack of mobility/priming movements i had been doing. Thank you for these videos!
I cant thank you enough for sharing this kind of important exercises. I did experience some shoulder pain which is probably because of the bad position during push exercises but after applyign couple of exercises you shared such as shoulder 3 routine and wall raises, y raises and with the help of much stable back I now experience %100 performance increase during my push exercises. I know also learn that you need to train your small muscles in the back. I know added couple of exercises for lower-mid traps as well. Thank you for all of the information.
Wtf? I just finished doing this workout and I am now fascinated at how my shoulder is barely cracking at all! For reference, for years my shoulder has been tight, making tons of loud cracks whenever I move it, I literally can’t remember a time when I could move my shoulder without it cracking. Who knew the fix could be this quick, thank you so much for this
DUDE!!!! I got a shoulder injury last yr, it has hindered my shoulder progression since i started lifting 8 months ago, i tried this before my first compound movements today and i had no issues with the overhead press or bench. I will be telling my friends and fmaily about this!!
As a high functioning incomplete quadriplegic and genetically hypermobile, im adding this plus other things from this site to my routine. Figuring out how to do it has been challenging since not all of my nerves work right, but the explanations are what i find most helpfull.
Had front shoulder pain for almost 10 months now. Practically gave up on benching. Started the Lock 3 and this overhead 3 on 0.5kg for 15 reps per set. The shoulder felt better than I had for ages. Gonna keep doing this and see if it will get rid of my should pain.
Great video, thank you so much. I had to start without weights for the first two weeks. My shoulders feel about 75% better after a month of doing this.
How does these three compare/differ? 1. Proned 90° external rotations. 2. Upright forward horizontal humerus external rotations. 3. Upright straight down humerus external rotations.
I am 59 y/o male with right shoulder pain for years due to calcium deposits. So far 3 shots of cortisone still pain persist. I love to hang from the bar but, hurts extremely. Squat University Team #1!!
Thank you so much! I've been doing the Locke 3 before every workout cause even when trying to get the barbell on my back for squats my right shoulder has trouble retracting to make that good shelf. Will definitely try this before any overhead pulling or pushing!
My snow angels definitely need more practice, the pain in the upper arm flares up when rotating the arm after 90 degrees. Thank you for the great explanations.
great routine, much needed with me tweaky shoulders. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with these instructional video, they have helped me through numerous trouble areas of my body's joints/tendons/muscles.
Your point for #2, about working external rotation with the hands overhead is brilliant. Just tried the exercise, it feels like new muscles are awaking.
thansk for posting. im an electrician, and whenever i work long periods above my head, my shoulder goes out the next day, and feels dislocated for the next like 4 days! its horrible, and ive dealt with it for like 5 years now. it happens like 3 times a year at least! pressing my arm against somethin like a door way, when im standing at arms down, pressing sideways, usually helps, but not always. i dont workout anymore, and i should, but working 10 hour days is hard to get the time in the morning to workout. working out after work is like literally impossible lol,, i have zero energy, and once i sit down, im done lol. i need to get more motivation, but ive been saying that for the last 10 years. anyways, ya,,
Hi Squat University ! au vu de la vidéo J'ai mis en place cette routine d'échauffement avant d'aller m'entrainer à la piscine. Pour le moment je viens de commencer mais je fatigue moins sur les séances ! Thanks for warm up routine 🤙🙏
this is awsom. I had shoulder pain for months when ever I did anything. Even when doing a pullup. one set and the shoulderpain is gone. Imma do this for a while and see if it holds up. Thank u so much.
I’ve had shoulder pain for years, feels like it’s coming from the area of the bicept insertion. Going to implement this and see if it helps. Only other thing I did is cut out bar benching and do incline dumbbell instead
Alot of us are doing rows before our pressing now. What you are suggesting now probably works pretty well, but it's something that's already fixed by better exercising sequencing. See the problem is people wanna warm up the bench with the bench to hit the bench as fresh as possible instead of developing some work capacity. That's slowly going away. When it comes to the external rotators I isolate those, and actually progressively overload them. I do 4×10s on those Charles Poliquin twists supersetted with JM presses. When I can do all 10 sets I use a heavier weight for the first one, then add sets with the heavier weight. When they are bigger, and stronger they will stay awake, and firing more.Lifters would do better not to neglect them than to find work arounds in the context of neglect.
Make a video on abs, I can't do them without getting taken over by hips, my lower back feels too stiff and if I try to keep a flat back (pushing the spine as close to the ground as possible) the range of motion is cut a lot and then my abs aren't even moving the legs, I'm trying to focus on lower abs (by doing knee pulls on pull-up bar) but I can't stop swinging, if I try to do them lying, the hips take over
2:35 oh..its burning now.. 😅 Ive been lboydbuilding for almost 20 years.. Im 35 now... and this seems to be tough...wouldn't it tire me out before my shoulder workouts? I just came across your channel..and its been amazing... I also seem to have injured something under my clavicle bone...its been bugging me for almost 3 years now... not sure if you had a video helping this issue? would be amazing if you could point me in the right direction...ive tried so many things without any results... Thank you ..and keep up the awesome work!
So I have been dealing with a loud popping sound in my shoulders during rows and lateral raises (also without weights) for at least the past year. I tried the exercise at 4:04. Right at the point where I rotate my shoulder to move upwards it pops 2x quite loud: when rotating my palms and the first 5cm when moving it upwards. I wish I lived in the US just so I could visit (I live in EU). I could use some help.
As always perfect content 💪🎯 Two questions: Why plates and not dumbels? Is the ext. rot. At the hips intentional? And what is the queing for the abdomen glutes and legs during the perfomance? Thanx
Plates or DBs should not matter. You can always engage core and glutes. But I don't believe either are critical for these movements to have their intended effect.
Really hoping this is the answer to my shoulder aches as of late. I can do heavy OHP just fine but going for a push press/push jerk has the shoulders aching bad for the next couple days minimum
Anyone have any suggestions for what you can do to help mobility for the second exercise? I literally can't even get my hands off the ground its so tight, haha.

Been doing this from last few weeks before my pressing exercise and it has helped me reduce pain in my right shoulder significantly.
Do you think if my shoulders are bad it could cause dull pain in like my elbow bicep area?!?!
Wtf? I just finished doing this workout and I am now fascinated at how my shoulder is barely cracking at all! For reference, for years my shoulder has been tight, making tons of loud cracks whenever I move it, I literally can’t remember a time when I could move my shoulder without it cracking.

This works as a great shoulder warmup routine for rock climbing as well!
The exercices/warmup of this channe are pure gold for shoulder's health !
DUDE!!!! I got a shoulder injury last yr, it has hindered my shoulder progression since i started lifting 8 months ago, i tried this before my first compound movements today and i had no issues with the overhead press or bench. I will be telling my friends and fmaily about this!!
shoulder warm up
1/ T-pose ----- 10 rep 2s hold
2/ 90 Degrees ----- 10 rep 2s hold
3/ 90 Degrees ----- 10 rep 2s hold
4/ Prone Arm Circles ----- 5~10 rep
ok - Wow! Years of shoulder pain. 2 years after surgery and still same terrible pain. This is helping already.
The fact that the person lying down is an olympic silver medalist weight lifter tells you how qualified he is…
Love you Mira Ji ,, great hard-core training Athelete you are ... Thank you sir... I do these exercises everyday..
I’ve always had shoulder injuries and this is a really good warm up and never had issues ever since. Highly reccomend.

DB chest flys were nearly unbearable on my left shoulder, 2 days of this warmup and I feel like I’ve got a new shoulder 😮 thank you!!!!
You guys are amazing. I have been doing these exercises and my shoulders feel great. 💪💪💪💪💪
My knees are hurting watching orange shoe man at 3:30 😄😄😄
Thanks 😅
What was that craziness? Bulgarian Stomp Squat?
Excellent demo! This format is the best 👌 👍

Lu lateral raises, banded pull-apart, lat/pec/bicep stretching cured my shoulder pains

Those prone arm circles at the end are killer. Thanks for the information
My snow angels definitely need more practice, the pain in the upper arm flares up when rotating the arm after 90 degrees. Thank you for the great explanations.
Oh my god🔥🔥🔥 thank you for this warmup fam I’ve always had shoulder issues after wrestling this got me feeling brand new

Yes good idea. I usually injured my rotator cuffs through bench press
@@Shia.Ahlulbayt Check how You take bar from the rack. Maybe bar is to high and you take the bar using shoulders ( you push them forward ).
Have crazy pain in one shoulder when lifting, not sure if this will help but i can't even do these exercises without weight! I'll be trying everyday

Two questions:
Why plates and not dumbels?
Is the ext. rot. At the hips intentional? And what is the queing for the abdomen glutes and legs during the perfomance?
Thanx
Plates or DBs should not matter. You can always engage core and glutes. But I don't believe either are critical for these movements to have their intended effect.
Hurt my right shoulder doing butterfly pull-ups. Gonna try your movements
Plz provide video on elbow pain as I am suffering from past 4 years
can you make a video on neck hump?

Great stuff, very helpful, thanks!
Anyone have any suggestions for what you can do to help mobility for the second exercise? I literally can't even get my hands off the ground its so tight, haha.
Should you keep persisting with this even if it aggravates your sore shoulder a little bit?
I have zero external rotation. Will doing these help me attain external rotation
4:30 is so damn hard i did it as kud for mobility and have trauma about it
Could you please show us how to do a correct squat using elastic bands instead of weights?🏋♂
Thanks
Great explanation
Do you have a video thats already made, or best suggestions on neck and shoulder stretches, to prevent neck tension migraines after a workout?
