Is your poor posture causing you pain, too? In one of my most helpful videos I've ever made, I'll show you 4 simple moves that will help to fix your posture permanently! - th-cam.com/video/g-7ZWPCWv0U/w-d-xo.html
Been forcing my way through with popping and a pinch for a couple months now.. did 10 reps of this, and after initial pain, instant relief and range of motion. Thank you so much.
@@dylanhinegardner6778 Bro I didn’t get the exercise, so once ur arms are above ur shoulder u should get ur elbow and finger away from the way and rotate actively ur shoulder so that ur hands meet together above ur head? Or u should keep ur fingers and elbows on the wall all the way?
Dude. I practically stopped exercising for a year. Had horrible pops whenever I lifted a few pounds of weight. If I were to rotate my arms outward they would pop and crack, audibly, sometimes painfully. I just came across this video a week ago and for the first time in about a year I actually spent a couple hours without pops and cracks. Physical therapists told me to rest. Sports therapists told me to 'just train them' Then Jeff told me to raise my fucking arms while standing against a wall and making sure my elbows and hand don't come off until my arms start going over my head. Jeff's solution worked. I could muster up the courage to pick up light weights again and surprisingly enough only a few stray cracks. But doing this exercise instantly relieved them. Jeff my man, you're a God.
This shit is why I am loyal to this channel, I've been to 2 different physical therapists and they didn't help at all then this guy just tells you for FREE just to stand against a wall and raise your arms. Btw, this fucking worked! Thanks Jeff!!!
This fixed my shoulder 6 years ago, for the last 2 months i had the same pain and couldnt find the video. Im finally here, and like 6 years ago, fixed, thank you jeff

I bought into Athlean X after two decades of training and literally set out to re train my body after injuries and motivation, and it was this video that I found on youtube after another scapula injury that prompted me. Your training method and program was well worth the money, 18 months since and my body is the best it’s ever been. Also you make downloading the entire program very user friendly. I’ll have it for life now. Thank you.
Holy shit my shoulders were popping like crazy for a week straight causing me to skip presses and I just did what Jeff said and its much better now! Throughout my years on TH-cam I have never commented on any videos but you deserve mad props for this man!
@@skill_overheaven10 yeah it did i wasn’t lying, now i still do this exercise when i just woke up or before workouts, it has become ingrained in my reflex now to do it every once in a while during my daily life. Though maybe it would work differently for each person, just give it a shot and see how it goes. From that point on I never have problems with my shoulders anymore (of course in combination with a healthy training routine)
@@sreeharim9676 Nah man I Went to my doctor He said If your shoulder isnt in pain from 3 months then its normal but the bone will stay as it is ,he said maybe it will get good after time , cuz the bone pops out when hand raised . so i stopped worrying about it I am good now tho , what about you??
I rarely write comments but damn. I have been to a few different physiotherapists who couldnt really do much and you fix it with one exercise! Thank you man!
@@yudistiraliem135 same left shoulder injured over a year ago and clicking that eventually gets painful and sometimes shoulder burns. My right shoulder and scapula also started clicking more recently idk why but no pain for this arm just feels wierd after repetitive clicking. I’ve found no long term solutions
Was doing dumbell shoulderpress today, had go stop the exercise because my left shoulder was clicking and painful on the way down, even without any weight. I’m was gonna sleep, but searched this up. After reading comments I tried it myself, no more clicks and no more pain. I will try to do this regularly, thanks alot and this is great!!!
OMG this is just insane! I had a pain in my shoulder for 2 weeks and did different exercises from online videos on youtube and none of them really fixed the problem. Now i just did 7 reps of your exercise and the pain is gone. Thank you so much !!!
After doing I don't know how many reps I stepped away from the wall and raised my arms. For the first time in close to a year I really didn't feel any popping and very minimal "grinding"... I am crying from joy. Thank you so much!!!! This alone has given me hope again that this sore popping shoulder is not going to be my new normal.
Dude , how we suppose to do it? he confused me. Are we trying to keep the place between the index and the thumb and also the elbow in touch with the wall while raising or we try to put the other side of the palm together and bring them inn front?
So what I do is keep my elbows and thumbs touching the wall for as long as I can as I go up. There will be a point where your elbows just cannot touch the wall anymore, and that's fine but keep your thumbs on the wall as you go up. I then just go up until my palms touch, then I go down trying to get my elbows back on the wall until I reach the starting position. Mix this with the pendulum swing, and some rotator cuff exercises and you will most likely feel a difference. Also stop pushing (chest) exercises for a while until you heal. I also found out I started sleeping on my side (new for me), so I got a softer bed and that is helping me a TON. Good luck. Hope this helps.
Melissa T so you do this before for Exempel pullups? Or is this for Training the Rotarier Cuff...i dont get it for what purpose you doing it .... for reliefe that is Holding for a day or for preventing injury when you workout.
I literally just got into weightlifting and on my first week got extremely discouraged because of the discomfort I had in my right shoulder due to the popping and nagging feeling. After doing this I legit don’t even feel anything anymore! I’m so motivated and excited again. I’m definitely subscribing
jeff may get some criticism from time to time, but these type of videos help show just how incredibly valuable he is to the community. i cannot imagine any other fitness youtuber who knows enough to do a video like this, hell even my own PT wasn't as much help. now i can do my overhead presses without fear of injury and am working my rotator cuff to ensure long-term health. thanks very much to jeff and this channel!
What the hell it cured my 1-week shoulder pain in like 1 minute or less. I just liked this video with my 5 TH-cam accounts, thank one one thousand times you're God sent
Jeff mate you are an absolute legend. I have been experiencing bad lower back pain, shoulder pain and neck immobility for years. With your stretches and exercises I already feel better. No more killing my gains!
Wow! It worked after the first exercise. My local PT actually made my condition worse! Too boot, they trash talk AthleanX when I brought you up. I've been loyal to your channel for a few years, but I missed this segment, ugh! Thank you Jeff. You've proven to me that many PT's are as bad or just as bad as Chiropracters.
As a rock climber rotary cuff injuries are super common and I could slowly feel it getting worse. Did this stretch for 6 reps and it already feels better with more mobility. You sir a legend.
A few weeks ago when I was doing flat bench, I felt and heard a loud pop in my left shoulder when I lifted the weight off the bar. Just like that, I was unable to lift my left arm let alone work out from the pain and numbness. I went to youtube to do some research and came across this channel and you have completely changed how I look at lifting. I let my shoulder recover for 2 weeks then started doing this routine to help my shoulder along with a proper shoulder warm up I saw you do in another video. I also found out I was doing bench press and a few other moves way wrong which was the root cause of my shoulder issues. But THIS WORKS, I just did it today before working out and experienced no pain, weakness, or numbness post work out. You just acquired a lifetime viewer! Thanks so much for your instruction and insights, it has made a big improvement in my life!
hello! I think I have the same thing but mine wasn't that painful to the point I can't raise them, mine have minimum pain now but after injuring it while bench pressing it started to pop of its place which is what freaks me out honestly and I have been out of the gym for more than 2 weeks and I lost a lot but I'm leaving them to recover but in reality its not REALLY recovering, and I have been looking for people with the same condition and didn't find but you are the closest to mine so far. anyways how's you recovery going since its been 4 months? do you have any tips I might benefit from? Thank you
Jeff, Thanks for all the videos! I have had 3 surgeries (plus the post surgery PT), 10+ cortisone injections, 1 epidural injection, multiple steroid pill rounds, changed diet, done acupuncture, rolfing, massage therapy, chiropractic work, etc over the last 6 years to fix a shoulder problem that causes pain, clicking, and popping. My golf career was stopped as I was a top player in the world and this happened my junior year of college and was persistent for years until I just could no longer play golf anymore. I have tried so many things and after over a year of sort of giving up on finding a solution I have found this video and am now wanting to find a physical/strengthening routine to fix this shoulder issue as I believe posture, re-alignment, and muscle growth may be the answer that no orthopedic has ever agreed with. I am going to start with this exercise daily with the hopes to get back to being pain free and maybe even one day be able to pursue my golf career once again.
I'm literally smiling from ear to ear because this actually worked and the soreness disappeared. Now I know what daily movements & 2 key points to focus on. Tons of value in this free video, Thank you!
I’m a merchant seaman and injuries are extremely common. Oftentimes I will pull a muscle, throw out my back, or strain my shoulders. These videos give me can-do answers and solutions that help me recover quickly. Over time as I learn from this these injuries become less common.
I've got one shoulder popping up all the time and tons of cracking sounds of my shoulders, and doing this and a neck stretch from another video seems to have worked wonders already! Thanks you Jeff, you remind me once again why you're a true gym guru !
I came across this video when I was desperately searching for a solution to my rotator cuff pain which I got from playing badminton. I was even considering stopping playing because even after months of rest (from the quarantine) it still hurt. I've been doing this exercise and I can now play almost at 100% of my previous game. Thank you so much, Jeff, I'm sure you've helped many many others like me.
danny formello I’ve been doing 5-7 reps of the exercise daily. After less than two weeks I noticed a significant reduction of pain. It hasn’t returned even after I play.
@@AlexinMadrid That's encouraging. Are you continuing to do the exercise and do you see increased shoulder ability (other than reduction of pain lol). Congrats btw
Get a pull up bar and hang for 10 minutes total a day. Try to hang as long as possible, this has fixed many of my shoulder issues and some famous guy whom I forgot his name said that "Monkeys hang all the time and there is no monkey with a bad shoulder" and I felt that
Congrats on your recovery! Athleanx did make a new video on “solve shoulder impingement/pain forever” and it’s very good in case you want to continue healing the shoulder
My son told me to watch your video. I have been having tremendous right shoulder pain. I watched, had my son guide through the motions and I kid you not, I felt relief!!!! I had been taking Alieve, Ibuprofen, rubbing on Aspercream, it helped but the pain was still high. I am going to bed soon and see if I can sleep without the pain waking me up. Thank you Jeff you're a God send!!
As a veteran of umpteen zillion surgeries (exaggeration) and untold hours of PT (NOT an exaggeration!), I thank you for providing this easy-but-legit advice regarding shoulders. Both of my shoulders were involved in my umpteen zillion surgeries (one was for a rotator cuff tear; the other was to remove bone spurs and reduce impingement that was leading towards a rotator cuff tear), and I have more experience than I ever wanted regarding rehabbing shoulder injuries. Y’all DO this simple exercise and AVOID shoulder surgery if you can!
Jeff, I had recently started Jiu Jitsu and my shoulder has been irritating me for over 2 months now and this exercise INSTANTLY relieved 80% off my pain and now I’m on the way to recovery just from this simple fix. I want you to know YOU ARE HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE!! Thank you so much Jeff.
This sounds like a paid commerical but here goes… Had impingement from PRing on bench for like 5 years. Couldnt really push my shoulder training at all, tried everything. Now that i do these badboys and stretch my chest every workout i Can absolutely slaughter my delts with no joint pain at all. This exercise is truly a god send. Will forever be thankful to Jeff and Athlean X for this.

This wall exercise/stretch has 100% cured the clicks I had in my shoulder when pressing. Worked immediately after performing the exercise the first day. Now I do this before every workout. THANKS JEFF!!!
Guys listen this man right here diserves a follow not only my shoulder stopped popping I feel like I got new shoulders I don't hear any popping or something
Unbelievable video. Still getting a slight pop, but even after 6 reps I can feel it’s a different popping and not the grinding of the ligaments. I can already tell the more I do this it will get better. Absolute life saver. Thank u
So randomly came across this video researching my shoulder pain. Tried your exercise and instantly felt much less to no pain afterwards, I've started to be more active and I will include this in my morning routine. Thank you very much, I hope you know 4 years later this video is helping people like live a healthier life style!
I like to say Thank You 4 U being U. I say this because i was a smoker alcoholic and drug addict for over 25 yrs. Plus major skeleton problems. I stumbled across 1 of your videos and got addicted lol Ironic. Scenes then i lost over 50 lbs and the 1st time in my life was able to do a pull up sad i know but much better than being dead. I love what u do please don't ever stop. You helped save my life. I am so great full. Thank you again.
I’m shook. My shoulder has been bothering me for weeks now. This did the trick! Thanks Jeff. You’re a lifesaver rn since I can’t see a physical therapist during these times.
This honestly just worked for me! At first I was doing it wrong, but after about 7 reps I put my arm up and no more popping or cracking from my shoulders to elbows. Going to continue the practice and see if these changes will be maintained. I am honestly wowed.
this guy is GOD ! , this fixed my 6 months shoulder popping problem. i need help with left hip popping also, i have this popping sound when i move my left leg forward and back.
I used to have hip popping/sticking when doing leg raises and even just walking sometimes. I started doing the leg raises with my feet far apart and that stopped it happening, I also do a lot of hip rotations. A few months later, I don't get popping with walking and I can do leg raises with feet tight together.
Thanks Jeff for posting this! I have been cracking my shoulders, in response to shoulder discomfort, for about 2 years now. I felt like the popping would never stop and I had been quietly discouraged at the ongoing discomfort and annoyance. With my work schedule and the high costs of addressing this issue...I just decided to put up with it. However, I am happy to say that I saw your video 2 days ago and for 2 days I have had ridiculous relief! Thank you again!!
Why not? At least we'll know if this works on a long term basis. Case studies are golden and I for one want to know if this works on a long term basis. Adele, keep them coming! Is it still working?
Jeff I don’t know if you’ll see this but man I’m amazed thank u so much. I been having shoulder pain for a long time and tried a bunch of different things but this gave instant relief and i didn’t have any popping in my shoulder. Thank u again for ur vids have a great day
Jeff, I just love you. I wish you the best. You have helped me more than any doctor ever helped me. I am going to hear your advice for my whole life. I just don't care what doctors say anymore. You are the REAL therapist.
Dude was a physical therapist for the New York Mets. It’s kind of weird to think that a *doctor* can go on giving their patients crap advice for decades while a physical therapist for a very profitable sports team won’t last more than a season if what he’s recommending doesn’t work. Or maybe it isn’t weird but it took me a while to get over the “how can he know more about this stuff than a doctor” mindset.
Waooo mate had been 2 days with shoulder pain almost useless and then found your channel and feel soo much better after 5 reps. I am a new person thanks for your work.
I can't wait to start doing this as a daily routine. My shoulders have been a plague for me when it comes to any chest exercise. You got a new follower out of me!
As a dancer who’s always had a really hard time building muscle and now is embedded in injuries that I was told were normal, I’m so glad I found this video I’ll be doing this everyday but it’s might be time to see a PT
I rarely write comments like this, but it actually helped! Instant relief in shoulder that cant even lift a cup without weird hand positioning to not feel pain. I tried before but it did not work at all, but now i tried with stricter form (almost glueing myself to wall), slower, more concentrated and not half-assed as i did, and with more reps. Key to expect is almost feel and hear how tendons? rearrange in a shoulder. Worked instantly and more i do it less pain a have day to day when raising arm. Thank you very very much, Jeff!
So here goes. I could barely trust my shoulder to wave at people before filling these routines. I added these to my prework our routine, and I can say this. I’m back to doing Barbell bench, dumbbell bench, and shoulder presses with slight discomfort but most importantly no pain. I even was able to handle a few back squats and mostly modified the rest of my back squat sets. One step at a time. Thanks for making this video!!
Reuben Sweetapple it was pretty much a day later. I did the full 4 move routine on my off day, then the next day did it again and noticed my workout was so much better. I went for a PR on bench yesterday, I’m working my way back up since taking almost 3 years off. Hit my 1RM, no pain in my shoulder
@@shaa_boogZ i am suffering from this shoulder popping from last one year .......this popping started when i lifted the barbell for bench press in wrong position.........you may be right that my sleeping posture may be one on the reason for not recovery
In conjunction: A: At/above shoulder level: elbows move away from wall... begin bringing them closer together as you move your pointer finders together 3:10-3:35 B: Below shoulder level: arms, elbows, pointer fingers back against the wall 2:50-3:10 (This order allows me to possibly perform with no should cracking)
I can't believe it. This worked after the 1st try. I've had pain and popping for months, couldn't even do a pushup...and it's gone just like that. Thank you so much man
At 2:39 “you have to work them there’s no way around it” 😂 the way he said this was so sincere, caring and convincing haha I’m going to wake tomorrow and think “my rotator cuffs I have to work them there’s no way around it”.I really appreciate how Jeff really cares about what he does to such a high extent and then he shares that energy with us all while he teaches us in depth ,important information to better ourselves. Ty Jeff :))
Man this is insane! I just did it and it is verbatim as he said. First rep I got stuck in the middle, second one better, and then completely fine by the end. The pain I had the last 2 weeks is almost completely gone! I'm literally shocked by how easy it was! Cheers mate!
Damn man thanks so much for this. 10 years of having consistent popping/cracking of my right shoulder whenever I raise my arm above my head and this fix has helped tremendously. Still get a slight pop/crack but its not nearly as loud and the discomfort is not nearly as bad. Its not a complete fix, but it helps. Seriously, thank you.
I just can't thank you enough, Jeff! I have been suffering from this shoulder snapping/grinding issue since I slipped my left hand while doing push-up a couple years ago. Ever since that incident, my left shoulder was weak, it would crack LOUDLY, grind and do really weird noises that concerned me a lot. Again, it has been like it for a couple years now. Thanks to this video, I was able to get REAL results. The temporary solution lessened the grinding/snapping more than 50%. Now, I'm working for the long term solution. I just can't describe how happy I am. God bless you!
My shoulder has been popping for one year every time I do a push up and I considered going to the chiropractor. I decided to try this video even though I honestly did not think it would work and oh my lord it worked !!! I just did 3 push ups and no shoulder popping. Thank you so much !
This exercise has literally changed my life. I was so sceptical watching the video and reading the comments but I’ve been able to do so many things this last 10 days I couldn’t before hand. Literally fixed in the first day but I was worried it would not work so I waited to comment lol. Thank you!!!
Tobin Cuss I mean i just did it and did nothing for me. It’s pissing me off I have a click in my right shoulder and not my left. If I do dumbbell front raises it hurts my shoulder but then I do barbell shoulder press I don’t feel anything.
@@liam.s789 2:27 "Lots of other things can be causing shoulder problems." Maybe you should try some more things, he has more videos on shoulder pain and if those don't work you could always go and get it checked out somewhere.
@@liam.s789 You might wanna try icing, as he mentioned that the bursa or whatever in the shoulder can get swollen/inflamed and reduce the space in the joint. Also, turmeric (taken internally) is great for inflammation. Would just experiment with icing in addition to this exercise. Maybe even alternating ice & heat at some point.
athlete101010 It got better straight away but it keeps coming back. I just do that stretch very day now and it helps me heaps. I’ve changed to a alternative shoulder press now too and that’s also helping
Holy crap, the popping is gone at least for now. I injured my shoulder a couple years ago and there's been a constant popping and I haven't been able to work out properly due to feeling super weak in my shoulder but I'm able to do motions now that caused cracking 100% of the time and it's caused me to become really unmotivated and scared that I'm not anywhere as strong as I used to be. I'll keep at this and thanks.
@@CrackersGUI way less cracking now... I start every day by doing these and I've been easing back into doing pushups/pullups. there's still a "pop" that doesn't audibly make a crack if I do one thing but it seems to be improving a lot.
I was skeptical at first, thought it was silly. After a week of doing this exercise I actually don't hear my shoulder popping anymore, and there's no pain too! Thank you so much Jeff.
and btw i been watching for a few years and want you to know that you are really making a difference in peoples lives. from my heart i thank you. keep up the great work
Old video, i know, but this guy is the best out there. Others are good too, of course, but for me he’s still at the top among trainers on the internet.
Did wall angels and facepulls every single day for 2 weeks and now my posture is 10x better. My shoulders are back to their neutral position and not internally rotated anymore and my neck feels so much better not having to crane to compensate for poor back angles. Thank you so much Jeff!
Yeah a lot of this stuff doesn’t sound believable. Like how can it be easy and that’s why people don’t try. I just started doing face pulls and some light weight bent over dumbbell flys for a few weeks and my posture feels so much better and my shoulders feel so much less tense
I went to a bone & joint doctor, biggest mistake I made. Guy ruined any progress I had made, forced my shoulder in a bad position then said go get an MRI, can’t believe I did it. No one has a cure for the cuff, this is as good as it will get.
I’ve had gnawing left shoulder pain for weeks. Couldn’t sleep. It was a deep, throbbing pain that acted up especially when I slept on my side. One set of the exercises and I slept soundly. Pain is gone. THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Hey Jeff I was wondering if you could do a video on how to safely come back to the gym after a shoulder dislocation. What exercise to do? How to strengthen it? Thank you:)
Yes and how to come back to the gym after a anterior SC joint dislocation. I have shoulder impingment because i have sc joint dislocation and don't know if i can ever the train upperbody again. That would be awesome because there is almost no information what i can do to make the pain go away :(
Thiago Vieira I dislocated my shoulder ( posterior) playing rugby it usually happens after a trauma. It feels like the shoulder range of motion is reduced and well pain for the first 3 week need to be in a sling
God bless you. I was about ready to give up on shoulder press/bench press. Jeff you really do a lot of good for the world! Keep it up, please don’t stop! Don’t know what I would do without this video. CHEERS!
i havent been able to train for the last 3 weeks. my right shoulder felt like it was dislocated or impinged or something had broken off in there but it wasnt getting any better. i had full range of movement but there was slight pain when i moved my arm and my shoulder felt out of position and my right traps felt like they were gona snap. anyways ive been stretching and using those massage balls but after 3 weeks it wasnt any better. i just did 10 reps of this exercise against the wall and as soon as i stopped all the muscles in my back felt a burn and then relaxed and my shoulder is 100% better. instant relief. just my right traps are starting to ache again but i think thats from 3 weeks of impingement or nerve entrapment or maybe something was broken off in there and this exercise cleared it out. anyways ive only done 2 reps of 5 so ill write back later if it works long term.
dam yeh my shoulder started feeling bad again within an hour. i did another 5 reps and it felt better again so ill keep doing this exercise every hour and see what happens
@@HomeStudioBasics hi i didnt notice any event like that sorry i was hitting a heavy bag for 1 hour and then did some weights and exercises like dips i could feel something was damaged because i have broken this shoulder before but it wasn't bad at that stage got worse that night and stayed like that for 3 weeks spreading up my shoulder to my traps etc. this exercise 100% helped all symptoms. i broke the same shoulder wrestling years before tore the labrum nearly 360 slap, bankhart and posterior. i didnt feel that either when it happened until 5 minutes later when my arm started tingling and then i couldnt move my arm at all for 3 weeks. that was way worse than this more recent time. i was told back then i needed surgery but i did physio rehab scapula exercises and took nearly 2 years to be 100% hitting the heavy bag again. this more recent injury just took 3 weeks of not getting better and then 1 week with just this exercise to be back 100% now.
Jeff, what about when we sleep? Would it be too much to ask for a video on how to sleep when you are having these shoulder problems. Thanks for all you do.
I am 47, and have done laborious work my whole life, and its beat my shoulders into submission. When I raise my arms above my head, usually people near me cringe from the sounds coming from them. I woke up this morning after I rolled over in bed and felt my shoulder nearly dislocate. I found this video in a search for what could be wrong (finally) and gave it a shot. Why not at this point? I did 10 reps of this exercise and I am able to notice a serious improvement!!! I am adding this to my daily routine!!!! TYSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro 10 years of shoulder pain after getting slammed on my shoulder during wrestling practice. A lot of your videos are really starting to bring the mobility back and i can sleep better since incorporating the exercises.

Dude. I practically stopped exercising for a year. Had horrible pops whenever I lifted a few pounds of weight. If I were to rotate my arms outward they would pop and crack, audibly, sometimes painfully.
I just came across this video a week ago and for the first time in about a year I actually spent a couple hours without pops and cracks.
Physical therapists told me to rest. Sports therapists told me to 'just train them'
Then Jeff told me to raise my fucking arms while standing against a wall and making sure my elbows and hand don't come off until my arms start going over my head.
Jeff's solution worked. I could muster up the courage to pick up light weights again and surprisingly enough only a few stray cracks. But doing this exercise instantly relieved them.

@@codyhahn6748 Bro I didn’t get the exercise, so once ur arms are above ur shoulder u should get ur elbow and finger away from the way and rotate actively ur shoulder so that ur hands meet together above ur head? Or u should keep ur fingers and elbows on the wall all the way?
I bought into Athlean X after two decades of training and literally set out to re train my body after injuries and motivation, and it was this video that I found on youtube after another scapula injury that prompted me. Your training method and program was well worth the money, 18 months since and my body is the best it’s ever been. Also you make downloading the entire program very user friendly. I’ll have it for life now. Thank you.
Holy shit my shoulders were popping like crazy for a week straight causing me to skip presses and I just did what Jeff said and its much better now! Throughout my years on TH-cam I have never commented on any videos but you deserve mad props for this man!
bro did it really did work ?
@@skill_overheaven10 yeah it did i wasn’t lying, now i still do this exercise when i just woke up or before workouts, it has become ingrained in my reflex now to do it every once in a while during my daily life. Though maybe it would work differently for each person, just give it a shot and see how it goes. From that point on I never have problems with my shoulders anymore (of course in combination with a healthy training routine)
@@zweeeee4343 bro my collar bone pops in and out due to weight lifting I m 14 years now what should I do any advice ?
@@skill_overheaven10 found any way?
@@sreeharim9676 Nah man I Went to my doctor He said If your shoulder isnt in pain from 3 months then its normal but the bone will stay as it is ,he said maybe it will get good after time , cuz the bone pops out when hand raised . so i stopped worrying about it I am good now tho , what about you??
I rarely write comments but damn. I have been to a few different physiotherapists who couldnt really do much and you fix it with one exercise! Thank you man!
Yup this is your only comment lol
Same Things 🔥🔥🔥
I have no luck with him sadly. Almost none of what happened to me are not in the video. i guess my case aren’t common.
@@yudistiraliem135 same left shoulder injured over a year ago and clicking that eventually gets painful and sometimes shoulder burns. My right shoulder and scapula also started clicking more recently idk why but no pain for this arm just feels wierd after repetitive clicking. I’ve found no long term solutions
@@yudistiraliem135 see a PT in person and maybe he can properly assess the issue and taylor a solution specifically for it
Was doing dumbell shoulderpress today, had go stop the exercise because my left shoulder was clicking and painful on the way down, even without any weight.
I’m was gonna sleep, but searched this up. After reading comments I tried it myself, no more clicks and no more pain.
I will try to do this regularly, thanks alot and this is great!!!
OMG this is just insane! I had a pain in my shoulder for 2 weeks and did different exercises from online videos on youtube and none of them really fixed the problem. Now i just did 7 reps of your exercise and the pain is gone. Thank you so much !!!
After doing I don't know how many reps I stepped away from the wall and raised my arms. For the first time in close to a year I really didn't feel any popping and very minimal "grinding"... I am crying from joy. Thank you so much!!!! This alone has given me hope again that this sore popping shoulder is not going to be my new normal.
+Melissa T
Dude , how we suppose to do it? he confused me. Are we trying to keep the place between the index and the thumb and also the elbow in touch with the wall while raising or we try to put the other side of the palm together and bring them inn front?
So what I do is keep my elbows and thumbs touching the wall for as long as I can as I go up. There will be a point where your elbows just cannot touch the wall anymore, and that's fine but keep your thumbs on the wall as you go up. I then just go up until my palms touch, then I go down trying to get my elbows back on the wall until I reach the starting position.
Mix this with the pendulum swing, and some rotator cuff exercises and you will most likely feel a difference. Also stop pushing (chest) exercises for a while until you heal. I also found out I started sleeping on my side (new for me), so I got a softer bed and that is helping me a TON. Good luck. Hope this helps.
Do you guys have pain too or are your shoulders just popping?
Melissa T so you do this before for Exempel pullups? Or is this for Training the Rotarier Cuff...i dont get it for what purpose you doing it .... for reliefe that is Holding for a day or for preventing injury when you workout.
I literally just got into weightlifting and on my first week got extremely discouraged because of the discomfort I had in my right shoulder due to the popping and nagging feeling. After doing this I legit don’t even feel anything anymore! I’m so motivated and excited again. I’m definitely subscribing
How long did you do it get rid of the pain?
🧢
Just did four of these reps and my shoulder feels 70% better straight away. Going to properly introduce this into my morning routine. Cheers
Your shoulder is right placement
jeff may get some criticism from time to time, but these type of videos help show just how incredibly valuable he is to the community. i cannot imagine any other fitness youtuber who knows enough to do a video like this, hell even my own PT wasn't as much help. now i can do my overhead presses without fear of injury and am working my rotator cuff to ensure long-term health. thanks very much to jeff and this channel!
How many times do you do this?
What the hell it cured my 1-week shoulder pain in like 1 minute or less. I just liked this video with my 5 TH-cam accounts, thank one one thousand times you're God sent
Will it help me with pain in the back/side of my shoulder?
@@JD-hi6hy I don't know, but you can try, it's very easy (will take you maximum 5 minutes)
@@tianarmas1665 where was your pain?
@@JD-hi6hy I think side/front of the shoulder. Primarily hurt when doing horizontal pushes (Bench press)
@Tian Armas It isn’t working my shoulder is still popping i don’t know if I’m doing it wrong or not enough times any advice
Jeff mate you are an absolute legend. I have been experiencing bad lower back pain, shoulder pain and neck immobility for years. With your stretches and exercises I already feel better. No more killing my gains!
0:52 10/10 shoulder impingement demonstration
Wow! It worked after the first exercise. My local PT actually made my condition worse! Too boot, they trash talk AthleanX when I brought you up. I've been loyal to your channel for a few years, but I missed this segment, ugh! Thank you Jeff. You've proven to me that many PT's are as bad or just as bad as Chiropracters.
As a rock climber rotary cuff injuries are super common and I could slowly feel it getting worse. Did this stretch for 6 reps and it already feels better with more mobility. You sir a legend.
A few weeks ago when I was doing flat bench, I felt and heard a loud pop in my left shoulder when I lifted the weight off the bar. Just like that, I was unable to lift my left arm let alone work out from the pain and numbness. I went to youtube to do some research and came across this channel and you have completely changed how I look at lifting. I let my shoulder recover for 2 weeks then started doing this routine to help my shoulder along with a proper shoulder warm up I saw you do in another video. I also found out I was doing bench press and a few other moves way wrong which was the root cause of my shoulder issues. But THIS WORKS, I just did it today before working out and experienced no pain, weakness, or numbness post work out. You just acquired a lifetime viewer! Thanks so much for your instruction and insights, it has made a big improvement in my life!
hello! I think I have the same thing but mine wasn't that painful to the point I can't raise them, mine have minimum pain now but after injuring it while bench pressing it started to pop of its place which is what freaks me out honestly and I have been out of the gym for more than 2 weeks and I lost a lot but I'm leaving them to recover but in reality its not REALLY recovering, and I have been looking for people with the same condition and didn't find but you are the closest to mine so far. anyways how's you recovery going since its been 4 months? do you have any tips I might benefit from? Thank you
Do you have that little bumb like Jeff on his left shoulder from poped AC?
@@RustamT I didn’t then but lately I’ve noticed that on my left shoulder with slight pain when I rub it.
@@RustamT ohh no I don’t have a bumb on my shoulder. Does that indicate something?
My jaw dropped after trying this one time & the popping immediately went away!!!! Amazing!!!
Jeff,
Thanks for all the videos! I have had 3 surgeries (plus the post surgery PT), 10+ cortisone injections, 1 epidural injection, multiple steroid pill rounds, changed diet, done acupuncture, rolfing, massage therapy, chiropractic work, etc over the last 6 years to fix a shoulder problem that causes pain, clicking, and popping. My golf career was stopped as I was a top player in the world and this happened my junior year of college and was persistent for years until I just could no longer play golf anymore. I have tried so many things and after over a year of sort of giving up on finding a solution I have found this video and am now wanting to find a physical/strengthening routine to fix this shoulder issue as I believe posture, re-alignment, and muscle growth may be the answer that no orthopedic has ever agreed with. I am going to start with this exercise daily with the hopes to get back to being pain free and maybe even one day be able to pursue my golf career once again.
Any improvements
You're hands down the best fitness channel on TH-cam. Thank you
I'm literally smiling from ear to ear because this actually worked and the soreness disappeared. Now I know what daily movements & 2 key points to focus on. Tons of value in this free video, Thank you!
I’ve got tears in my eyes. This video just changed my life, I never thought I’d have full range of motion again. I can’t thank you enough.
I’m a merchant seaman and injuries are extremely common. Oftentimes I will pull a muscle, throw out my back, or strain my shoulders. These videos give me can-do answers and solutions that help me recover quickly. Over time as I learn from this these injuries become less common.
THIS MAN IS AN ANGEL
I CAN BENCHPRESS AGAIN
I've got one shoulder popping up all the time and tons of cracking sounds of my shoulders, and doing this and a neck stretch from another video seems to have worked wonders already! Thanks you Jeff, you remind me once again why you're a true gym guru !
it didn't fix it completely, but it's WAY better now that is for sure. It feels way better
what is the neck stretch?
I came across this video when I was desperately searching for a solution to my rotator cuff pain which I got from playing badminton. I was even considering stopping playing because even after months of rest (from the quarantine) it still hurt. I've been doing this exercise and I can now play almost at 100% of my previous game. Thank you so much, Jeff, I'm sure you've helped many many others like me.
How many times a day did you do it and how long did it take for the exercise to have a long term effect?
danny formello I’ve been doing 5-7 reps of the exercise daily. After less than two weeks I noticed a significant reduction of pain. It hasn’t returned even after I play.
@@AlexinMadrid That's encouraging. Are you continuing to do the exercise and do you see increased shoulder ability (other than reduction of pain lol). Congrats btw
Get a pull up bar and hang for 10 minutes total a day. Try to hang as long as possible, this has fixed many of my shoulder issues and some famous guy whom I forgot his name said that "Monkeys hang all the time and there is no monkey with a bad shoulder" and I felt that
Congrats on your recovery!
Athleanx did make a new video on “solve shoulder impingement/pain forever” and it’s very good in case you want to continue healing the shoulder
My son told me to watch your video.
I have been having tremendous right shoulder pain. I watched, had my son guide through the motions and I kid you not, I felt relief!!!!
I had been taking Alieve, Ibuprofen, rubbing on Aspercream, it helped but the pain was still high.
I am going to bed soon and see if I can sleep without the pain waking me up.
Thank you Jeff you're a God send!!
any updates?
As a veteran of umpteen zillion surgeries (exaggeration) and untold hours of PT (NOT an exaggeration!), I thank you for providing this easy-but-legit advice regarding shoulders. Both of my shoulders were involved in my umpteen zillion surgeries (one was for a rotator cuff tear; the other was to remove bone spurs and reduce impingement that was leading towards a rotator cuff tear), and I have more experience than I ever wanted regarding rehabbing shoulder injuries. Y’all DO this simple exercise and AVOID shoulder surgery if you can!
Jeff really has videos for every potential problem someone could have. Props
All he has to do now is relationships
@@zach2455 Lol
Jeff, I had recently started Jiu Jitsu and my shoulder has been irritating me for over 2 months now and this exercise INSTANTLY relieved 80% off my pain and now I’m on the way to recovery just from this simple fix. I want you to know YOU ARE HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE!! Thank you so much Jeff.
This sounds like a paid commerical but here goes… Had impingement from PRing on bench for like 5 years. Couldnt really push my shoulder training at all, tried everything.
Now that i do these badboys and stretch my chest every workout i Can absolutely slaughter my delts with no joint pain at all. This exercise is truly a god send. Will forever be thankful to Jeff and Athlean X for this.
@@fredriksu Bro I didn’t get the exercise, so once ur arms are above ur shoulder u should get ur elbow and finger away from the way and rotate actively ur shoulder so that ur hands meet together above ur head? Or u should keep ur fingers and elbows on the wall all the way?
This wall exercise/stretch has 100% cured the clicks I had in my shoulder when pressing. Worked immediately after performing the exercise the first day. Now I do this before every workout. THANKS JEFF!!!
Any clicking anymore??

Literally cured my 10 years of shoulder problems that would keep me away from gym. I love you Jeff, that’s why I buy your stuff to support you.
Wow! I've had this pain since 2011, I will definitely try this! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@joanaeneblett6941 any luck friend?
PLEASE make a video on ulnar nerve issues and how to avoid them, such as carpel tunnel syndrome.
Fantastic video and advice as always!! Keep it up!!
Guys listen this man right here diserves a follow not only my shoulder stopped popping I feel like I got new shoulders I don't hear any popping or something
Unbelievable video. Still getting a slight pop, but even after 6 reps I can feel it’s a different popping and not the grinding of the ligaments. I can already tell the more I do this it will get better. Absolute life saver. Thank u
So randomly came across this video researching my shoulder pain. Tried your exercise and instantly felt much less to no pain afterwards, I've started to be more active and I will include this in my morning routine. Thank you very much, I hope you know 4 years later this video is helping people like live a healthier life style!
Jeff, you are a treasure to this community.
to Humanity*
Word!
I like to say Thank You 4 U being U. I say this because i was a smoker alcoholic and drug addict for over 25 yrs. Plus major skeleton problems. I stumbled across 1 of your videos and got addicted lol Ironic. Scenes then i lost over 50 lbs and the 1st time in my life was able to do a pull up sad i know but much better than being dead. I love what u do please don't ever stop. You helped save my life. I am so great full. Thank you again.
Great man keep going
I'm shocked by how effective this is every time I go back and do it. Really helping people out here, man.
Dude right when I started having shoulder problems you come out with this video. Thank you
same xD
Same
This is magical...same here haha
exactly. ...this guy has impeccable timing
Wtf me too, Jesus Ahahaha legend
I’m shook. My shoulder has been bothering me for weeks now. This did the trick! Thanks Jeff. You’re a lifesaver rn since I can’t see a physical therapist during these times.
Tomas Madrigal same it’s amazing how much it helped me rn
This honestly just worked for me! At first I was doing it wrong, but after about 7 reps I put my arm up and no more popping or cracking from my shoulders to elbows. Going to continue the practice and see if these changes will be maintained. I am honestly wowed.
this guy is GOD ! , this fixed my 6 months shoulder popping problem. i need help with left hip popping also, i have this popping sound when i move my left leg forward and back.
I used to have hip popping/sticking when doing leg raises and even just walking sometimes. I started doing the leg raises with my feet far apart and that stopped it happening, I also do a lot of hip rotations. A few months later, I don't get popping with walking and I can do leg raises with feet tight together.
he has a hip video as well.... i assume it works too like this
link me to it pls . thanks
david martre you wouldn't do shit angry little person...lol
david martre Please STFU !
Thanks Jeff for posting this! I have been cracking my shoulders, in response to shoulder discomfort, for about 2 years now. I felt like the popping would never stop and I had been quietly discouraged at the ongoing discomfort and annoyance. With my work schedule and the high costs of addressing this issue...I just decided to put up with it. However, I am happy to say that I saw your video 2 days ago and for 2 days I have had ridiculous relief! Thank you again!!
Still feeling great! :)
Adele Labrador ok we don't need weekly updates...
hahahah
That's awesome, I'm starting today!
Why not? At least we'll know if this works on a long term basis. Case studies are golden and I for one want to know if this works on a long term basis. Adele, keep them coming! Is it still working?
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS CHANGED MY LIFE. I can finally sleep and workout again
JP Bredenkamp
hope can have the same
Jeff I don’t know if you’ll see this but man I’m amazed thank u so much. I been having shoulder pain for a long time and tried a bunch of different things but this gave instant relief and i didn’t have any popping in my shoulder. Thank u again for ur vids have a great day
Is the issue still gone? Was this a permanent fix?
Jeff, I just love you. I wish you the best. You have helped me more than any doctor ever helped me. I am going to hear your advice for my whole life. I just don't care what doctors say anymore. You are the REAL therapist.
Dude was a physical therapist for the New York Mets. It’s kind of weird to think that a *doctor* can go on giving their patients crap advice for decades while a physical therapist for a very profitable sports team won’t last more than a season if what he’s recommending doesn’t work. Or maybe it isn’t weird but it took me a while to get over the “how can he know more about this stuff than a doctor” mindset.
Waooo mate had been 2 days with shoulder pain almost useless and then found your channel and feel soo much better after 5 reps. I am a new person thanks for your work.
I can't wait to start doing this as a daily routine. My shoulders have been a plague for me when it comes to any chest exercise. You got a new follower out of me!
Your shoulder is right placement
As a dancer who’s always had a really hard time building muscle and now is embedded in injuries that I was told were normal, I’m so glad I found this video I’ll be doing this everyday but it’s might be time to see a PT
Wow!! Had a pinching pain in my shoulder for 2 weeks tried this for 5 reps 3 sets.. and it's gone.. thank you for this information dude!!
How many times a week?
I rarely write comments like this, but it actually helped! Instant relief in shoulder that cant even lift a cup without weird hand positioning to not feel pain. I tried before but it did not work at all, but now i tried with stricter form (almost glueing myself to wall), slower, more concentrated and not half-assed as i did, and with more reps. Key to expect is almost feel and hear how tendons? rearrange in a shoulder. Worked instantly and more i do it less pain a have day to day when raising arm. Thank you very very much, Jeff!
So here goes. I could barely trust my shoulder to wave at people before filling these routines. I added these to my prework our routine, and I can say this. I’m back to doing Barbell bench, dumbbell bench, and shoulder presses with slight discomfort but most importantly no pain. I even was able to handle a few back squats and mostly modified the rest of my back squat sets. One step at a time. Thanks for making this video!!
how long did it take before you felt better
Reuben Sweetapple it was pretty much a day later. I did the full 4 move routine on my off day, then the next day did it again and noticed my workout was so much better. I went for a PR on bench yesterday, I’m working my way back up since taking almost 3 years off. Hit my 1RM, no pain in my shoulder
I've had a pain on my shoulder for about 8months, the moment I tried this i felt instant relief thank you so much 💯💯
In how many days you get relier???
@@aniketraj3324 I can say about a week but later down the road I realized it was my sleeping posture. It was causing atrophy, just stay active
@@shaa_boogZ i am suffering from this shoulder popping from last one year .......this popping started when i lifted the barbell for bench press in wrong position.........you may be right that my sleeping posture may be one on the reason for not recovery
In conjunction:
A: At/above shoulder level: elbows move away from wall... begin bringing them closer together as you move your pointer finders together 3:10-3:35
B: Below shoulder level: arms, elbows, pointer fingers back against the wall 2:50-3:10
(This order allows me to possibly perform with no should cracking)
I can't believe it. This worked after the 1st try. I've had pain and popping for months, couldn't even do a pushup...and it's gone just like that. Thank you so much man
At 2:39 “you have to work them there’s no way around it” 😂 the way he said this was so sincere, caring and convincing haha I’m going to wake tomorrow and think “my rotator cuffs I have to work them there’s no way around it”.I really appreciate how Jeff really cares about what he does to such a high extent and then he shares that energy with us all while he teaches us in depth ,important information to better ourselves. Ty Jeff :))
this channel help me a lot spcially my lower backpain and now having my shoulder pain for six months hopefully it will fix my problem
Please do a video on neck pain and a ''short & long time fix''.
yep
+Zunayed Rahim right babe?
try adding 15 meals every hour and stomach vacuums
yes please

Man this is insane! I just did it and it is verbatim as he said. First rep I got stuck in the middle, second one better, and then completely fine by the end. The pain I had the last 2 weeks is almost completely gone! I'm literally shocked by how easy it was! Cheers mate!
Damn man thanks so much for this. 10 years of having consistent popping/cracking of my right shoulder whenever I raise my arm above my head and this fix has helped tremendously. Still get a slight pop/crack but its not nearly as loud and the discomfort is not nearly as bad. Its not a complete fix, but it helps. Seriously, thank you.
I got relief too! I love this video. This dude's good.
Adele Labrador yeah subscribe he's amazing explain and helping and don't for get to like
nice to hear bro! how often you do this exercise?
DarkSaintStudios
How often did you do it ?
Man I hope this works. Afraid I've let this go for too long. But things you've told us have always helped so I have faith.
I just can't thank you enough, Jeff! I have been suffering from this shoulder snapping/grinding issue since I slipped my left hand while doing push-up a couple years ago. Ever since that incident, my left shoulder was weak, it would crack LOUDLY, grind and do really weird noises that concerned me a lot. Again, it has been like it for a couple years now.
Thanks to this video, I was able to get REAL results. The temporary solution lessened the grinding/snapping more than 50%. Now, I'm working for the long term solution.
I just can't describe how happy I am. God bless you!
I have the same issue as your for the last 5 years. What is the long term solution?
Did you get a long term solution
hello?
My shoulder has been popping for one year every time I do a push up and I considered going to the chiropractor. I decided to try this video even though I honestly did not think it would work and oh my lord it worked !!! I just did 3 push ups and no shoulder popping. Thank you so much !
Is this a permanent fix ? And is there anything else you did to combat this issue brother ?
I just did this and after an instant relief, had few moments of moving my arm around without clicking and pain for the first time in years!
Same here brother

This exercise has literally changed my life. I was so sceptical watching the video and reading the comments but I’ve been able to do so many things this last 10 days I couldn’t before hand. Literally fixed in the first day but I was worried it would not work so I waited to comment lol. Thank you!!!
Tobin Cuss I mean i just did it and did nothing for me. It’s pissing me off I have a click in my right shoulder and not my left. If I do dumbbell front raises it hurts my shoulder but then I do barbell shoulder press I don’t feel anything.
@@liam.s789 2:27 "Lots of other things can be causing shoulder problems." Maybe you should try some more things, he has more videos on shoulder pain and if those don't work you could always go and get it checked out somewhere.
@@liam.s789 You might wanna try icing, as he mentioned that the bursa or whatever in the shoulder can get swollen/inflamed and reduce the space in the joint. Also, turmeric (taken internally) is great for inflammation. Would just experiment with icing in addition to this exercise. Maybe even alternating ice & heat at some point.
Wow!!! This actually works. Quickest muscle fix ever. I can finally do shoulder presses again. Thank you so much Jeff.
how long did it take you to get better?
i have bene having trouble and just came across this video today.
athlete101010 It got better straight away but it keeps coming back. I just do that stretch very day now and it helps me heaps. I’ve changed to a alternative shoulder press now too and that’s also helping

Will give it a go.
@@subtletransition6615 How does it work out ?
I just started the video a few seconds ago and paused it to say if this works, you're my hero.
Holy crap, the popping is gone at least for now. I injured my shoulder a couple years ago and there's been a constant popping and I haven't been able to work out properly due to feeling super weak in my shoulder but I'm able to do motions now that caused cracking 100% of the time and it's caused me to become really unmotivated and scared that I'm not anywhere as strong as I used to be. I'll keep at this and thanks.

After a week of doing this exercise I actually don't hear my shoulder popping anymore, and there's no pain too!
Thank you so much Jeff.
Still no pain?
@@p996ii_lazer_ii4 Still no pain, however popping sound is back. Maybe it's because I don't do this exercise everyday.

Jeff does so much good here on yt........ #respect
Did wall angels and facepulls every single day for 2 weeks and now my posture is 10x better. My shoulders are back to their neutral position and not internally rotated anymore and my neck feels so much better not having to crane to compensate for poor back angles. Thank you so much Jeff!
When you were making wall angles.. did u make sure to make your back flat against the wall??
Yeah a lot of this stuff doesn’t sound believable. Like how can it be easy and that’s why people don’t try. I just started doing face pulls and some light weight bent over dumbbell flys for a few weeks and my posture feels so much better and my shoulders feel so much less tense
I did this and instantly felt pain relief in my right shoulder. Will definitely be doing this before every workout from now on
Simon Cowell Same here! I did it 3 times and on the third time there was a LOUD crack and all the pain disappeared!
How many times did u do this?i mean the number of reps
@@jaikeerthib I do it 8-12 reps before I start working out
I went to a bone & joint doctor, biggest mistake I made. Guy ruined any progress I had made, forced my shoulder in a bad position then said go get an MRI, can’t believe I did it. No one has a cure for the cuff, this is as good as it will get.
Simon cowell thanks!! It really worked for me guys i do it every time before i go into workout, it helped a lot, thanks @athleanx.com
I’ve had gnawing left shoulder pain for weeks. Couldn’t sleep. It was a deep, throbbing pain that acted up especially when I slept on my side. One set of the exercises and I slept soundly. Pain is gone. THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Hey Jeff I was wondering if you could do a video on how to safely come back to the gym after a shoulder dislocation. What exercise to do? How to strengthen it?
Thank you:)
Yes and how to come back to the gym after a anterior SC joint dislocation. I have shoulder impingment because i have sc joint dislocation and don't know if i can ever the train upperbody again. That would be awesome because there is almost no information what i can do to make the pain go away :(

i havent been able to train for the last 3 weeks. my right shoulder felt like it was dislocated or impinged or something had broken off in there but it wasnt getting any better. i had full range of movement but there was slight pain when i moved my arm and my shoulder felt out of position and my right traps felt like they were gona snap. anyways ive been stretching and using those massage balls but after 3 weeks it wasnt any better. i just did 10 reps of this exercise against the wall and as soon as i stopped all the muscles in my back felt a burn and then relaxed and my shoulder is 100% better. instant relief. just my right traps are starting to ache again but i think thats from 3 weeks of impingement or nerve entrapment or maybe something was broken off in there and this exercise cleared it out. anyways ive only done 2 reps of 5 so ill write back later if it works long term.
dam yeh my shoulder started feeling bad again within an hour. i did another 5 reps and it felt better again so ill keep doing this exercise every hour and see what happens
it worked. 2 weeks later my shoulder is way better now. this exercise was the best.
Did it temporarily pop out + Pain and then go back in when you hurt yourself?
@@TSIXGaming thank you buddy!
@@HomeStudioBasics hi i didnt notice any event like that sorry i was hitting a heavy bag for 1 hour and then did some weights and exercises like dips i could feel something was damaged because i have broken this shoulder before but it wasn't bad at that stage got worse that night and stayed like that for 3 weeks spreading up my shoulder to my traps etc. this exercise 100% helped all symptoms. i broke the same shoulder wrestling years before tore the labrum nearly 360 slap, bankhart and posterior. i didnt feel that either when it happened until 5 minutes later when my arm started tingling and then i couldnt move my arm at all for 3 weeks. that was way worse than this more recent time. i was told back then i needed surgery but i did physio rehab scapula exercises and took nearly 2 years to be 100% hitting the heavy bag again. this more recent injury just took 3 weeks of not getting better and then 1 week with just this exercise to be back 100% now.
Jeff, what about when we sleep? Would it be too much to ask for a video on how to sleep when you are having these shoulder problems.
Thanks for all you do.
+Gastón García I would love to know that as well! sleeping positions seems to mess up alot :/
Been using this for couple of years just to help my shoulder health
Cant thank this man enough, time and time again he proves to be the best physio/gym channel on TH-cam 🙌
Coming back to these videos after two years, just as helpful now as they were then
I`m a 65 year old rock climber still "gettin after it". Jeff has been my" go to" for years & has helped me immensely.
Hey! My shoulder stop cracking! It's been that way for a 8 years(since injury) and just 7 repetitions helped. It's magic

With 50 years into this , I can attest he is the best ever. He is right on everything.
I am 47, and have done laborious work my whole life, and its beat my shoulders into submission. When I raise my arms above my head, usually people near me cringe from the sounds coming from them. I woke up this morning after I rolled over in bed and felt my shoulder nearly dislocate. I found this video in a search for what could be wrong (finally) and gave it a shot. Why not at this point? I did 10 reps of this exercise and I am able to notice a serious improvement!!! I am adding this to my daily routine!!!! TYSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video was as needed as the calves video. Sensei came through once again, thank you.
The fact that you posted this for free is amazing. Thanks Jeff. Happy new year!
I had it on 1:25 speed without knowing , first thought you were on some pre workout or something lol.
+Knowledge IsPower At 1.25x speed he reminds me of the shamwow guy.
+Knowledge IsPower dude you had me crying xD
Daniel Stoyanov LOL.

Bro 10 years of shoulder pain after getting slammed on my shoulder during wrestling practice. A lot of your videos are really starting to bring the mobility back and i can sleep better since incorporating the exercises.
