    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! 😊

  • @Seattlefan77
    @Seattlefan77 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    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.

      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!

      @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.

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

      You are doing it right then. The plank push ups and push ups in general workout your chest, triceps, and front delts. They are also good for core workouts as well. If you are still experiencing shoulder impingement. I would suggest doing rowing exercises to workout the rear delts. Like inverted rows and back widows on the floor or against the wall. The man in the video should have mentioned about working out opposite sides of the body. Whenever someone works out their push muscles (chest, triceps, front shoulders) , they need to workout their pull muscles (back, biceps, rear shoulders). To avoid muscular impingement and muscular imbalance.

      @matthewostien2898 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@pulidoc888 Ouch. :/ You could try back widows against the wall then, since you can stand while doing the exercise. Or you could you use a rear delt machine at the gym. It's a lot more comfortable, since you can be seated during the workout. I hope these help. Using lower weight with height reps should suffice. The easier the load, the more safe and comfortable it should be. I recommend doing 3-5 sets of 15-20 reps twice or three times a week, with low weight. I wouldn't want you to overwork your muscles. Your muscles shouldn't be sore for more than 2 whole days tops after your workout, because protein synthesis only lasts between 24-48 hours. However, first time lifters in general will tend to be more sore at first because your body isn't use to working out. If you need more time to heal, do so by an extra day or two, but keep the workout volume (3-4 sets, 15-20 reps) consistent. You can even increase the wright overtime if you want to, as long as it's not too difficult, and you are able to do the target estimate rep count. If you are still having issues, it wouldn't hurt to go get a check up with a doctor or do some research online about shoulder pains and impingement. I really wish for the best of you, Cristina. 🙂

      @@pulidoc888 I forgot to mention. With shoulder impingement. I wouldn't recommend doing any tricep dips or plank push ups. The only exercises you should focus on with a bad shoulder(s) is doing push ups on your knees and back widows against the wall or even on the floor or even rear delt flies on the machine. Dips are terrible on your shoulders because the position you put on your front delts as you lower, it's like taking a ball and pushing hard against rubber, trying to grind through it. Very bad idea. Stick with simple stuff until your pain goes away. It's way better to train safety and easier than with high intensity.

    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.

      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.

    It was this exercise and daily across the chest band pulls that finally after two years of pain has stopped the impingement of my left shoulder. For me I’ve identified the culprit exercises after many years... the first to go was the bench press which I stopped doing years ago... no matter if bar or bells, as soon as I got near 250+lbs I’d start getting the niggle in the shoulder. Even parallel grip Dumbbells.. but unlike most I could parallel dip really heavy so that has been my mainstay exercise. The latest one causing the latest impingement was believe it or not the pull-up.. even with elbows slightly locked at extension.. chin ups or rope chins don’t effect my shoulder at all! So my personal conclusion after 40yrs training is that it’s just how I’m put together! some can bench and can’t dip without shoulder pain same as the pull-up.. some guys came pull-up straight away without pain and get a lot out of it but can’t chin up for toffees! Press ups are fine at the 60deg arm angle, no pain at all....I tried to replicate it with Dumbbells on the bench instant pain...Horses for courses...

      **So my story is for 1 year I lifted smart, the. I tested my strength at the end of the hear and I found I had a bench press addiction.. not only should a bench press/ chest workout be performed once a week since it's very intense on the body, which I did a couple to a few times a week at some point .. and I also pushed very heavy very frequently like something I was able to lift only God knows how but shouldn't it was like the adrenaline rush if someone being able to lift a car to save a life "for to say"
      My heavy and consistent bench press to the gym visits led nearly 2 years later to randomly experience very tight pain out of no where while pushing a small warm up amount
      Ever since I am now just turning 25. . ... The injury occured at 19 .. I started at 16.. went excessively at 17 ... I got diagnosed with shoulder Bursitis and it's worst in the right shoulder ....it permanently set me back from working my chest , which I feel terrible about I lost my entire chest muscles ... Even the traditional push up murders me after XYZ. Repetitions it would eventually keep getting tighter and tighter in the frontal side shoulder near the connection of the inner chest where the joint sits on top.. and I have to stop....
      I've lost tins if money on useless therapy the doctors have send me to . I've got scans this that MRI ultra sounds you name it .. they say they just see bursa inflammation at the moment.. the right should clicks and rubs friction while prior injury it never did ... I apologize for this long questioner but do you believe I have permanent shoulder damage and / or might never be able to exercise my chest muscles again ?
      One a side note it's been years maybe 5 years since I've tried executing any pushup or bench etc what would you recommend as to going on about this silly acquired injury

      @@Matt-pv1cg you can't fix shoulder impingement, it's permanent. Try close grip bench and cut the ROM little bit, so don't go all the way to the chest or try neutral grip db bench and neutral grip db ohp, those i can do with my fucked up shoulder. Lets see if this comment gets deleted too like my previous one, because people can¨t handle the raw ugly truth

      i just got my right shoulder dinged up working on muscle ups..i wouldn't do pullup but i still do burpees...for my shoulder, it's not very sore doing pushups..pullups involves way more muscles and strength so i will rest my shoulder about a week before i even do any pullups..

    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.

    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.

  • @jenningsgardner2205
    @jenningsgardner2205 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    About that triple threat: Step two doesn’t make very much sense to me as a general rule of thumb. When doing a push-up it totally makes sense, you need to engage your core. But when walking, sitting, or standing, contracting your core like that pulls your back and chest forward instead of allowing your shoulders to relax back and your chest and stomach to be open allowing for a more open, fluid airflow in your body. Even when you demonstrate in this video, you look less robust and healthy when you move to step two. You look strong and stable while on step 1. So are these rules for general posture or push-up posture?

    • @jenningsgardner2205
      @jenningsgardner2205 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I definitely know it’s important to keep your lower abs tightened and glutes squeezed so that you don’t develop tight hip flexors and walk around like Donald Duck. I used to keep my shoulder blades in place but then I’d just let my lower back slouch out like that. But I think the ribs, chest, and stomach should be upwards and outwards! You’ve gotta have the most expansive breath possible to have the most supportive posture!

    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
      @ryancortez8486 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

      Your serratus anterior is the muscle that holds your shoulder blade down and is connected from shoulder blade to your ribs. Yours might be weak.
