    exercises timestamps for myself:
    2:50 shoulder squeezes
    3:20 chair push down
    5:23 - doorway stretch
    7:58 grab pillow or towel to put under your forehead - lie down, stretch out arms then lift (different variations)
    9:08 - use resistance bands for external rotation, can do both or one arm - use towel under arms to make sure you don’t bring elbow out too much
    9:42 - internal rotation
    10:07 - resistance bands downward pull
    most of the important parts ;)
    also welcome to the shoulder impingement group ;P
    Update as of 27-10-2024 - so when I first put this comment down 4 years ago, I actually slacked off and Covid completely put me off doing these,
    However, as of this date, I started working out a month ago and couldn’t lift even slightly heavy at all, same as 4 years ago, but I started doing these straight after and it has definitely helped, I was able to lift much higher than I was able to previously, but… I can’t lift very heavy, which isnt surprising as physio isn’t meant to cure the problem in a week or 2, I was told by my doctor I had “mild” shoulder impingement, so it should take at least 1-2 months of consistent physio, remind me at end of 2024 for an update 🫡

    Thanks Guys! Testimonial here! I had a shoulder impingement that was so bad, I thought I may have possibly torn a rotator cuff tendon; it was like a hot poker jamming into the top of my shoulder even at rest. In fact, there was no comfortable position that I could hold it in without excruciating pain. Luckily, you guys are so famous, I was able to find you. Moving my arm at all was extremely painful, I was able to do the exercise to push my shoulder blades together and down, which although sore, it actually felt pretty good. I was scared to death to put my arm out and grab the chair and push down, which admittedly was sore, BUT, I pushed down and walked back, just as you instructed and amazingly it felt pretty good. I repeated the 2 exercises every hour or two over the next 24 hours and just about a day and a half later my shoulder was almost completely back to normal, the pain went from 10+ down to 1 or 2 and no pain at all with the arm at rest. I could not sleep for 2 days the pain was so intense and the effect of these exercises was miraculous! I watch you guys all the time, you always have so many great tips, if I could I would give both you guys a big hug, God bless you!

    As for as I can remember I had this pain from 10th grade and it's been like 9 years of hearing clicking, popping, accompanied by minor pain in my left shoulder and out of nowhere it started to give me pain even without rotating today. I did your exercises and I can feel the relief.
    Still got some pain and at least I can help no hurt too much until I visit the hospital. I told my parents but they neglected it saying it's my imagination and everyone gets popping sound and pain. I've been neglected emotionally my whole life so this sudden pain feel like I deserve it and it's all my fault for being passive about my pain.
    Please don't neglect any child. If a child is sitting alone go and speak with them.

    Oh my god. I hurt my shoulder yesterday, I have no idea how. But the pain was so bad I could barely lift a drink to my mouth, I had to use my right arm (non dominant) for everything. I could tell this was something I was gonna be dealing with for weeks or months.
    But then, my friends linked me this video. I tried the exercises, and i already have a massively improved range of motion. I still have pain and dont think i can lift or reach for a few days, but I am already convinced that this will be a much quicker ordeal than I anticipated. Thank you so much guys. I am seriously in tears right now because of the gratitude I feel. Thank you thank you thank you

I woke up at night in pain and even got some exercises from a physical therapist (for my $55 copay) that didn’t work! I finally avoided working out all together. ONE DAY I did 5-an-hour shoulder squeezes and 5-an-hour chair pushing moves, like you demonstrated, using my desk at work and the pain is GONE! Yesterday was day 2, same thing!

    3. Isometric push with counter or chair walk out
    4. Chest stretches (doorway pectoral stretch - mid, low, or high, lay on back on foam roller - chest/shoulder muscles relaxed)
    5. Prone Y's, T's, extension
    6. Resisted external rotation or no monies (towel roll under elbow)

    I had a case of shoulder impingement along with a minor bicep strain around October last year. it really sucked I relied on the advice of some of your old videos during my recovery process. I'm happy to say that both have healed after 4 months of doing your exercises almost every day. I've been back at gym for about 2-3 months and I'm almost back to where I was ito of strength before the injuries. I want to thank you guys for the great work you are both doing. it's Mich appreciated. all the way from South Africa.

      That's good to hear. Unfortunately i'm in the same position now as you were and it sucks. I can't bench press with a barbell anymore and i can't hit my side delts as lateral raises are to painful. Did you still train with this injury or did you wait until it had healed? 4 months out the gym for me will be total torture, i miss a couple days and i'm tearing my hair out

    I got some great advice from these guys on another video around golfer's elbow - I've been struggling with shoulder pain that had caused me to back off lifting, on another video from Bob and Brad I could concur it was shoulder impingement (which is what I thought but I wasn't sure) and even just a day of doing these excersizes I can already feel the benefit. Amazing. Thanks guys ... I know they are a bit goofy but this information is golden. I really appreciate the effort to do these videos and put this information out there. I suppose it's time I finally try to address my terrible posture properly!!

    This is gonna be a long comment, whoever wants to read the details can go ahead, and i'm gonna leave a TLDR here for those who dont feel like it
    TLDR: Had tendonitis,extreme pain, took Doctor's advice, layed off the gym for 2 years, but pain returned as soon as i returned to the gym. Found these videos, did the movement shown at 3:43 as well as some dead hangs shown in other video, and tendonitis VANISHED.
    Hey guys I just came back here to say that you saved me a whole lot of trouble, pain , expenses and general suffering. This video and the other one with the dead hangs literally saved my shoulders. One week in of simply doing these two things and the pain was 90% gone. So was impingement, and exercises that used to cause pain at the gym are now pain free and with no post-workout inflammation and pain. In general my tendonitis has almost vaporized. 3 weeks in right now I keep getting better and as soon as I address the issue that causes this, which is probably my shoulder rotation, I'm sure my tendonitis will be gone for good.
    I've had this issue for a total of 3 years. When it first started I went to the doc, he told me usual crap, stay off it, take these NSAIDS, ice it, relax on the gym, stop working it so much, blah blah. All useless bullshit and that was confirmed when I took the next two 2 years after that incident completely off from the gym (not because of the tendonitis but because of life). At least I hoped now that i layed off for so long my shoulder issues will be gone. But NOPE. 1 week back in the gym I was already crippled by pain. That's when I looked on the **GOD BLESSED PRODUCT OF CAPITALISM CALLED THE INTERNET** and found your videos. As I already said, 1 week later my issue was 90% gone. No drugs, no laying off from the gym ,nothing. I kept going hard at the gym and just did these 2 exercises. poof. pain gone, simple as that.
    So thank you again for putting these out there. This would have fucked me up if it wasn't for you people. i'm deeply grateful.
