You are saving my life here, I have watched so many of your videos now and I'll start my journey on getting my shoulder fixed. All you said so far I have and now understand. I do CrossFit and I got my shoulder hurt doing snatches as I over extended back too much. Since then the pain comes and goes, hopefully with the exercises you recommended will fix it, and feeling confident it will as it makes complete sense. Thank you so much for offering this information for free as not everybody can afford treatment. You are AWESOME.
thank you so much - really helpful
Thanks EDJ! You're welcome!
HOW!?!?! HOW IS IT THIS SIMPLE! INSTANTLY NO PAIN!!! THANK!!! YOU !! So sorry for the caps, but OMG!!! Instantly the pain dropped from a 8 out-of 10 to a 2!!! I imagine as I deal with this tendonitis that I've had for months and as it subsides, the discomfort will go down to a 0. How have I not learned this through decades of lifting! I would have paid hundreds of dollars for these seconds of advice. If someone could guarantee the results I was just given! Mind you, I have to lighten the weight By 30lbs per DV!! Because my traps Had to work this hard ever!! but I'll take it. And I'll strengthen them through progressive overload! You have literally gotten me excited About training my shoulders again.
Would this be thebsame consept when bench pressing? Because I have the same discomfort in the same place on the same shoulder when I do bench press.
Except for decline, I don't feel it much at all then.
Hey Dan, we are so glad we were able to help you! Thank you for sharing your results with us! And yes, you can apply similar changes to bench press. Instead of traps, focus on using your serratus anterior muscles. You can accomplish this by "reaching" during the press motion. If you cannot figure it out, you can lookup how to perform a push-up plus. It is basically the same mechanics. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the response!
I am doing OHP for years, but the argument about push press is a new to me and that's useful. I am suffering an tendonitis (most probably) I had this before but it didn't get much better after 3 weeks off the gym. So that threw me off and I got a gym session today, I am definitely weaker on the upper body because of that. So I guess I will get back to my daily rubber band exercises.
How can I account for the rotator cuff when doing seated overhead dumbbell presses and I can’t do the “baby squat?”
Dude you are a gem. Dope channel with free info and solutions for variety of issues. I powerlift and have issues with my rotator cuff and your excercises seem to help. I am also not benching so that is helping too. Great work man

We'd love to hear how you are doing as you progress.🙌 Please take care!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thanks a lot! I have seen the playlist not gone through it yet. I definetely will. Thank you for your response.
Found your channel due to my impingment issues and pain i experience in the shoulder. I commented on another video of yours which explain the difference between impingment, tendinits and RC tears.
Also checked your exercises which iwill try to do for the next 6 weeks or so will decreasing my general lifting and dropping certain exercises. Maybe it helps.. My last resort before thinking about surgery.
I really enjoyed watching this video, i was one of those people who in all those years kept the shoulders down when lifting overhead with dumbells, id never let my shoulders get close to my ears. This video explains alot.
Id be interested in your take on shoulder health, bench pressing? The usual debate of scapular retraction vs just slightly lifting the sternum and getting the scapular into neutral position. There is so much conflicting information in the gyms and even on the internet.
Also been wondering if a lateral shoulder raise does more harm than good for people with shoulder impingment patients?
Would be pretty cool if you take the time to reply.
Appreciate the information provided here!
Definitely give the lateral raises a miss till you have fully recovered.
So you would perform db bemch thr same way. Its interesting, I been told to pack my shoulders the whole time. So this was detrimental. I should have been protracting on the top of the lift
what about using Pin Presses to decrease range of motion?
Hey John 👋! Using pins to decrease the range of motion should not be a problem here if you're able to properly execute the form shown in this video. Another thing that is equally as important is making sure that you're aren't experiencing pain while doing overhead presses.
