Shoulder pain is one of the most common workout injuries that get in the way of you making gains, especially in your chest. In this video, I’m going to show you how you don’t have to stop doing your chest exercises just because your have pain in your shoulder. In fact, I will coach you through how to change the way you are doing the bench press regardless of what type of shoulder pain you are experiencing so you do not have to give up the chest gains.. First, it helps to understand the general types of shoulder injuries that can be the source of your pain. You can either have an injury to the labrum (and often times biceps tendon as well due to the proximity of it to the labrum), rotator cuff, bursitis, impingement, or the AC joint. Each of these has their own characteristic symptoms that slightly differentiate it from the other however it is best to have your shoulder evaluated in person by a qualified physical therapist for an exact diagnosis.. When it comes to working out with a shoulder injury it can be really tough. The fact that your shoulder joint is so mobile and intimately involved with all upper body exercises makes it tough to train around, unless you know how to do it. The bench press is a staple exercise for building a bigger chest and is one that also happens to be very difficult to perform once shoulder pain or injury has set in. That said, there are tweaks you can make to the movement that make it possible for you to start doing it again and not have it aggravate your symptoms. In fact, it could help to make your shoulder pain go away as you build it back stronger than ever.. When you look at the AC joint injury you have to understand that it is caused mostly by forced internal rotation (especially with some velocity). This can happen when you target too low on your chest or forget to arch your back and bring the ribcage to the bar rather than forcing the bar to seek out the ribcage. If you adjust the cage up by arching the back and dropping the shoulders back you can not only fix the targeting of the bar on the chest but you can effectively shorten the depth and keep your shoulders more secure.. With a labrum tear you are likely to have a greatly compromised shoulder stability. This becomes especially bothersome when you experience the pain at the bottom of the press. Here you are not only dealing with the most instability but you are also putting the biceps tendon on the most stretch because of the arm extending behind your body. This causes pain either way. The key is to temporarily switch to a floor press to have a more equal base of support for your shoulder.. The rest of the issues tend to revolve around one common outcome and that is the impingement that can occur in your shoulder from bench pressing. Here the goal is to create as much room as you can in the shoulder joint when doing the exercise. You can depress your shoulders which will deactivate the traps and create more room in the joint. You can alter the position of the elbows to be closer to your body which will do the same thing. Finally, you can switch the grip from overhand to underhand to make sure you are externally rotating your shoulders and creating room as well.. All of these changes are small but critical to getting you back to training your chest without shoulder injury.

The bench press is one of the most effective exercises for developing and strengthening the upper body. However, despite its effectiveness, it’s also the one exercise that lifters seem to have the most trouble with; primarily due to shoulder pain when benching or after benching. And in many cases, this is simply a result of various tweaks that need to be made in your bench press form. In this video, I’ll go through exactly how to bench without pain and how to permanently avoid shoulder pain when benching.. The first bench press form mistake people make that causes shoulder pain is failing to retract the shoulderblades throughout the press. Whenever we’re benching, we want to have our shoulder blades retracted or pinched together as if you were going to pinch a pencil between those blades. If we don’t have the shoulder blades retracted what actually tends to happen is the upper arm will round forward which can cause shoulder pain when benching. So what you want to do is before you press, depress your upper, and then pinch your shoulders blades together. Then, maintain this tightness by actively squeezing your shoulder blades together as you bench press, and avoid the mistake of opening up the shoulder blades and losing tightness at the bottom or as you push up.. Another common mistake contributing to shoulder pain while bench pressing is benching with a completely flat back. Although most people won’t need an exaggerated arch as seen with powerlifters, you do want to ensure there’s some arch present between in your upper back. And the reason for this is similar to what we saw with retracting your shoulder blades, as a slight arch in the upper back places the glenohumeral joint in an externally rotated, safer position. But to properly implement this while avoiding injury, note that you’re not simply arching your lower back. What you want to do is arch your upper back instead by retracting your shoulder blades as we previously discussed, and then raise your chest up towards the ceiling which will naturally create space between your back and the bench which you then want to maintain as a solid base of support for your press.. Next, to bench press without pain, you need to avoid the mistake of touching the bar too high on your chest while excessively flaring the elbows out at a 90 degree angle and pressing the bar straight up and down. This puts the shoulder in an internally rotated position and can thus cause pain when benching. So what you want to do is instead realize that the bar path of your bench press shouldn’t be straight up and down. It should actually start above your shoulder, come down to around the level of your sternum or nipple height and then curve diagonally back towards the starting point. And to achieve this without harming your shoulders, you need to tuck your elbows to roughly a 75-degree angle such that your elbows remain closer to the body and more or less directly under the bar throughout each rep. This will not only lead to a safer press, but a stronger one as well.. Lastly, avoid the bench press form mistake of not having your elbows stacked under the bar. This creates unnecessary torque on the shoulder joint which can then cause shoulder pain. If your elbows are unaligned when viewed from the front or back, then the problem is likely with your grip width that needs adjusting. If your elbows are unaligned when viewed from the side, then it’s likely that you’re overtucking your elbows too close to your sides when you press. So to fix this, you simply want to adjust the angle of your elbow during the press by flaring them out a little more such that they remain relatively underneath the bar.. Now if you want to see the best results then it’s vital that you not only choose the right exercises and variations, but that you also implement and progress them correctly within your routine.

There are a lot of mistakes when it comes to shoulder training but in this video I cover 5 of the most common and also show how to fix it so you can start seeing better progress from your shoulder workouts.. First is to stop flaring your elbows on shoulder press. This causes way too much unnecessary pressure on your shoulder joint seeing as how your shoulder socket is slightly forward. Once you start putting your elbows at an angle forward, you’ll notice that the shoulder pain is relieved and you will start hitting your delts more effectively.. Second is to stop resting at the top of a shoulder press. Often times when people are doing shoulder press, they press the weight all the way back up and lock out their elbows and cheat a half second rest without even realizing it. While you do want to nearly straighten your elbows, you want to focus on the peak contraction of your deltoid rather than locking your elbows out and then as soon as you get that peak contraction, go right back into your next rep.. Third is to stop shrugging while doing lateral raises. Too often, people go too heavy on lateral raises which causes them to start creating momentum and engaging their traps at the top of the exercise. In order to fix this, first you must drop weight.. and then you really want to focus on extending your arms in an outward motion rather than raising up and then also stopping at parallel with your shoulders.. Fourth is to stop resting at the bottom while doing lateral raises. Another issue I see all the time is people brining the weight down too far during delt raises.. in which case, they lose the tension on the muscle and the allow themselves to create momentum at the bottom and start sacrificing time under tension. Instead, start with your arms out at an angle, where you feel the tension on the muscle, and make THAT your starting position rather than bringing the weight all the way down to your side.. Fifth is to stop rolling your shoulders back during rear delt flyes. Rear delts are commonly underdeveloped due to the amount of trap/rhomboid engagement that people get during their rear delt exercises from not doing the exercise right. What you want to do is protract your scapula AKA roll your shoulders forward (and keep them rolled forward the entire time) and focus on pressing the weight outwards rather than back and last but not least, stop just before parallel with your body because THAT is where you should feel the peak contraction..

In today’s video we look at the best dumbbell exercises for chest. We’re going to focus on several areas of training: from strength, to power as well as hypertrophy and a few others you’d expect along with the best way to train adduction of the chest muscles.. First we cover strength. The key here is that we actually have two non-dumbbell exercises that have their own benefits and those are the bench press and the weighted dip. While both are fantastic moves for building bigger pecs (as well as shoulders and triceps) there is a unique advantage that the dip has when you convert it to a dumbbell only option that the bench press lacks, and that is maintained stability and better carryover of the load.. Since strength training should be focused on safely lifting heavier and adhering to progressive overload you do not want to not have to sacrifice shoulder stability if you can avoid it. When moving to the dumbbell version of the bench press you will often find that your shoulder instability from holding separate dumbbells is going to undercut your overall strength to a much greater degree than what would happen with a dip. Strap a dumbbell up to a dip belt and keep pushing the heavy loads that are already additive to the weight of your own body.. Next we focus on power. The element of speed is critical to maximizing the effect of power training for our chest. Here as well, you want to try and find a way that you can release the load during the repetition to realize true power development. If you chose a dumbbell bench press and opted to accelerate the weight as fast as possible you would find that your body actually inherently slows the weight down as you approach full extension as a protective mechanism for the joints and to prepare for the next rep.. Performing an explosive plyo tap pushup allows you to fully express your power by accelerating through the rep, unhindered by the length of your arm as in the bench press.. For hypertrophy you want to explore eccentric muscle damage. The best way to do this is with the floor fly. Pick up a pair of dumbbells and press them to the top as you would with a normal bench press. Then slowly lower them as in a fly, concentrating on the eccentric lowering of the weights to put the stress on the pecs. Because you can cheat the rep to the top and don’t have to worry about the health of your shoulder because of the floor, you can actually use heavier than normal weight here to maximize the muscle growth effect even more.. We always want to keep an eye on the correctives on this channel as well. In the case of the chest you can use your dumbbells as a method of lightly overweighting a chest stretch. Here we want to stretch the pec minor, which is a muscle that can get tight and pull your shoulders up and forward which ruins your posture and shoulder integrity when it does. Lie on a foam roller and place your arms in the position shown with the dumbbells in your hand to get a nice stretch on the pec minor and prevent tightness from occurring.. Included are a few other exercises to emphasize adduction of the arm with dumbbells, which we know is a key function of the chest that doesn’t get hit with just bench press, pushups and dips. Also, a total body option that reinforces the mechanics of the thoracic spine that has carryover to other areas of our training as well.. Give these exercises a shot whenever you don’t have access to the standard barbell moves or just want to an extra challenge.

If you’re looking for the best shoulder exercises outside of the overhead press and side laterals to build your delts, you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I’m going to show you the 5 best exercises for your shoulders to help not only get bigger delts, but to increase the weight on the exercises you’re already doing.. The Z Press is a modified overhead press that has you sitting on the ground with your legs straight out in front of you. By taking the lower half of your body out of the exercise, the exercise demands more stability through the core which we often get lazy with in the standard version of the press. The stronger your shoulders get while performing this exercise, the more weight you will be able to press overhead when standing, leading to even bigger, stronger shoulders.. One major drawback of an overhead press is the lack of stretch on the front delt. Without gaining full stretch on the muscle, you’re missing an opportunity for bigger, stronger shoulders. The DB Scoop Press puts the elbows behind the body which puts the shoulder into extension, allowing for stretch on the front delt. By putting the muscle into a stretched position in the same exercise where it goes into peak contraction allows the muscle to move through it’s full range of motion to help get bigger shoulders.. As a bonus, I am including the Jammer. Not everybody has access to this piece of equipment, but if you do, it should become part of your shoulder training. This is an explosive movement that involves the lower half of your body, allowing you to train your shoulders with power while still pressing overhead. Utilizing power will allow you to handle heavier weight which will translate to a stronger overhead press and overall stronger shoulders.. The side lateral raise is a staple shoulder exercise that should be in everyone’s training routine. I often advocate using light weights to increase the quality of the reps and the tension directly placed on the middle delt. However, DB Cheat Laterals allow for you to move a heavier weight to overload the shoulders further. Taking advantage of heavier weight will also contribute to the amount of weight that you can use during strict lateral raises. The DB Cheat Lateral is going to be helpful in building rounded, capped delts.. No shoulder training would be complete if you are ignoring the rear delts. Remember, just because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean you can’t train them! The DB Urlacher is a great exercise that not only will increase rear delt size, it helps with shoulder health. With the elbows elevated and behind the body, you are placing direct tension on the rear delt, something that isn’t done with traditional shoulder exercises. The external rotation also means that you are strengthening the rotator cuff which is important to shoulder joint health and longevity.. If you have access to a cable machine, a great way to hit the rear delts (besides doing facepulls,) is by performing the Wraparound Rear Delt Row. This shoulder exercise is great because it not only gets the shoulders into external rotation, but it puts the rear delt on stretch at the bottom position of the exercise. This is an awesome way to hit those shoulder muscles you might’ve been neglecting all this time.. If want to build not only better shoulders but every muscle in your body faster, then you need to put the science behind every exercise and workout that you do.

If you’re looking for the best shoulder exercises outside of the overhead press and side laterals to build your delts, you’ve come to the right place. In this video, I’m going to show you the 5 best shoulder exercises to help not only get bigger delts, but to increase the weight on the exercises you’re already doing. The dumbbell squeeze press is a tremendous exercise for building functional strength and hypertrophy in the chest, triceps, and shoulders.
The combination of the constant tension, metabolic stress, and high levels of mechanical tension make it an effective variation for bodybuilders and strength athletes alike. I highlighted this unique movement in “7 Best Shoulder Exercises You’re Not Doing.” You can also perform it using a dumbbell, but it works best with a kettlebell due to the grip. Similar to the landmine shoulder-to-shoulder press, this unique exercise shifts the weight so that one arm is the primary mover and the other is secondary.
Consider alternative triceps exercises. 5. Single arm rows In general, this exercise is not a bad exercise, but it is easy to perform it incorrectly. If you perform this exercise, initiate movement from the shoulder blade and use a weight that you can control through the entire movement. Anatomy of the shoulder. No 5: Press Up.
My final favourite shoulder rehab exercise for this piece, is the good old press up, for a number of reasons. First it’s a great all round upper limb strengthener, and not just of thr anterior shoulder and chest as known, but its also good for producing high levels of activity in the posterior rotator cuff which is commonly. Mistake 5: You’re ignoring chronic shoulder issues. Set yourself up for success by pairing shoulder-press movements with be sure to routinely stretch and release the muscles of the chest. The rotator cuff consists of four small muscles in the shoulder joint: teres minor, infraspinatus, supraspinatus and subscapularus.
The rotator cuff muscles work together to stabilize the shoulder joint during bench press and other chest exercise movements. Shoulder pain while bench pressing is likely due to weakness in the rotator cuff muscles. Solution: Touch your chest to the floor. (And check your ego at the door.) If you can’t touch your chest to the floor and do a proper repetition, see Mistake #5.
Mistake #3: Not maintaining a straight line from head to toes. Don’t do the worm! Your whole body should move up and down together. If you’re being held back by stubborn bench press shoulder pain that won’t seem to subside, this post will outline 8 tips you can apply to get back on the road to bench pressing pain-free. 8 Tips To Eliminate Bench Press Shoulder Pain #1 – Do A Proper Warm Up.
The dumbbell squeeze press, on the other hand, incorporates both functions. You’re pressing, but because you’re actively squeezing the dumbbells together (hard) throughout the duration of the set, you’re really kicking things up a notch. I’ll typically use this exercise as an accessory movement on bench day, after I bench.
List of related literature:
For most people cranking the body around with the shoulder changes the posture from a spinal twist to something that combines hip prying and triceps brachii massage with three movements of the spine— forward flexion, lateral flexion, and twisting.
Execution of Movement—Flex elbows, lowering chest toward floor, hold for 3-4 seconds (exhale and inhale during the hold), return to starting position pushing through and rounding upper back to include serratus anterior.
Note: The most common faults associated with the push-press include driving your knees forward, overextending your lumbar spine, pressing the barbell out in front or behind your body, flaring your elbows out, and internally rotating your shoulders.
Because the exercise is performed while the shoulders are internally rotated, it is very important that the elbows do not come higher than the shoulders (no more than 90° of abduction) because of the risk of shoulder joint impingement.
Mistakes to correct are rounding the shoulders when leaning into stretch, bringing the chin into the chest when stretching, allowing the knee of the leg on the ground to bend, and bouncing into the stretch.
This being the case, the magnitude of the upper body press has a great influence on the subsequent motion of the early pull-through and on susceptibility to shoulder pain.
This rotation should be timed with the exhalation such that at the end of the movement the elbows are level with the shoulder and the forearms are facing forward and up Exhalation ends.
The upper chest will be controlled in extension if the scapulae are positioned and stabilized in the down and back position by the action of the middle trapezius, rhomboids, inferior trapezius, and serratus anterior.
What kind of roids are you on? I am a skinny-fat guy and I have been exercising for about 4 months and the gains are not even noticeable. My chest looks like an average skinny fat guy’s chest. All I eat is 100 grams of protein per day + fruits and vegetables.
My problem is my biceps and triceps are starting to outgrow my pectorals. Each time I do a pectoral exercise, my arms are exercising too. I want bigger arms, but I want my pectoral muscles to catch up too. Anybody have any advice?
I’m new to working out in this way. I’ve always stayed fit and flexible through dancing and gymnasticst. At the age of 49 I’ve realized I’m losing muscle. Are these exercises for both sexes and will they affect my flexibility? I apologize if my question seems silly. I truly dont have any experience in this area.
while bulking how many calories do you guys burn off in a gym session? is it important to burn off as many calories as possible or felling the body part burning?
my chest is what inspired me to start lifting, it was my first muscle that developed without working out yet lol. that and my thighs were a little toned but from riding bicycles
Advice needed: So if I do 3 sessions per week, M, T, & F. On each session would I try to d EACH of these till exhaustion? Or just pick 3 of them and do those 3 exercises to exhaustion? Like what is the best weekly routine and how to fit these all into it. Since I need to be working on 3 different muscle groups per session I just need advice on how much of these chest exercises to do per session?

I had years ago infection on a tendon on my shoulder, which caused calcification on said tendon/joint (or that what was told by the doctors). I had excruciating pain on my shoulder about where Jeff draw with the black pen. Felt like I had knife pushed into my shoulder from that spot. I couldn’t lift my hand above my belly when standing and couldn’t cross my body with my arm. Had to have cortisone and painkiller injections couple of times directly on the spot (oh boy that hurt!) + pain killers to ease it off. I still have every now and then pains on my shoulder. I don’t feel any pain when using my hand, but sometimes when I lay down I can not lay on that shoulder as it feels so uncomfortable. I have recently started exercising, but looks like now my shoulder gets more often irritated. I don’t know is there anything to do, as the calcification can be scraped off only by having surgical operation (which of course will be the absolutely last treatment when nothing else helps anymore). So for now just trying different kinds of exercises and hoping for the best. So very grateful for all the different options to try out. Hopefully I’ll be able to find exercises that suits me. Would be very discouraging if training will f my shoulder up:/
Today at the gym I did a combo of a workout you possted earlier, a deadlift and then walk with the weight. I’m 73 and did 5 reps with 100 lbs and a walk but on my deadlift I paused just below the knee before I went up….that little pause was killer when you don’t rest before you walk with the weight! Hope you understand what I did!
Lol Don’t have permanent space for at home gym equipment… only have space for dumbbellsthink perfect, lets watch this video. first up weighted dumbbell dips on a rack. lmfaomaking it think we just need the dog leash well guess you’re welcome for the one click… moving on
Hello Jeff, I am currently mid PT qualification gain and I would like to thank you for the constant flow of information and knowledge of how the human body can improve and better it’s self.

You are a a credit if not an elite within your field. Thanks for your all your quality training methods and if you ever visit the West Coast of Scotland, Enjoy mate.
I have bad shoulders and watch a lot of YouTube videos on how to lift with shoulder pain and by far you have the best video explaining everything in detail and making it simple to understand. Thank You
Is it better to do a whole body work out a few times a week or better to hit specific body parts one specific days once a week? Also,,, what are super sets? I’m brand fire new to lifting. Thanks in advance for any advise✊��
No offense, I don’t think barbell overhead press by sitting on the floor is a good idea. Actually this is a compound movement which involves different joints and muscle to stabilize the barbell, I.e. legs, core etc. On the contrary, if this is working on a Smith machine, this would be good, coz the cable on this machine assists on stabilizing and balancing the barbell, it makes this as an isolated movement.
You are the first person to inspire me to workout and you never run out of good stuff. I started from the old times garage lookin underground home gym of yours where you record your own video and your handy dandy adjustable dumbells. Face pulls all the way hahahaha
I have shoulders bc I combine dumbbell barbell with kettlebell not mentioning sculpt yoga. I love this!!! Few I have never seen & I’m a gym rat. Thanks so much! I’m trying ur routine now no rest period. Arnold would be proud. Thanks for sharing. Love the shirt. Where can I get 1? I want 1 for myself & for my 2 yr Labradoodle.

Jeff: Hey jesse try saying “wrap around rear delt row” 5x straight. Jesse: says no Me: wrap around rear delt row, wrap around rear delt row, wrap around rirrelrow…
Hi ATHLENE-X great video informative science backed. I am a welder. Can you PLEASE provide me with the name of the manufacturer Is it called the MATRIX? Maybe a short vid of what it looks like and I shall make one. I do not have the money to buy this kit thank you.Richard.
i love how detailed Mike is with his instructions and detailed information on each muscle. if you dont understand the exercise or the muscle as many videos DO NOT explain, than injury and no understanding is accomplished. i will always go to Mike Thurstons exercise videos because he takes the time to educated us not just throw you into a weight. THANK YOU MIKE!
Vince, I have a problem working in a local gym. There are several guys who are power lifters BUT every rep they do in their sets, they literally drop the weights each time. My line of thinking…is that it’s not necessary. It’s bad form and if you can’t set it down, for each rep out of the set, than it must be too heavy to do properly? Am I crazy? I’ve had customers complain about the noise and I myself get bothered by the loud dropping that is repetitive, after each rep. I just think they should drop the weight by 10lbs so they can set it down. Because their muscles shouldn’t fatigue after every rep…even if they’re just doing drop sets…I wouldn’t hear the dropping weight onto the floor for 15 minutes. Am I wrong? I need help! ASAP.
Jeff I wanted to ask what’s your opinion on doing the Lu Xiaojun plate raises for shoulders? I am trying to balance my shoulders as someone who recently started doing Olympic Weightlifting
Did the dumbell scoop press today. A killer exercise, way better the routine shoulder press. You know you are doing a good exercise when all the trainers at your gym are eye balling you. ��. Big fan Jeff. Thanks
The last two months ago and have the time, but it would like us know when to go back in touch, but it would like us know when to go bj999 9b99999999999999999 b 9b 9999b 9999 99 9 b b bb
I think I need some help. Whenever I try to do any of these I don’t really feel my shoulders. I either feel the tension on my back or my neck but never in my shoulders. I tried these for a few days but the only soreness I feel is again on my neck and my back. Any way to fix this?
Thank you Mike for your detailed educating exercise videos. I love how you explain each muscle in detail and the exercise. You have motivated me and changed my exercise routines because of this. If you could please include exercises that can be done without a universal weight machine like the shoulder fly. i mimicked the fly press with dumbbells but i dont know if this will in fact target the right muscle? Love your videos. Thank you
Been watching a lot your videos on shoulder mobility exercises and stretches. Those stretches combined with the exercises on this video has almost eliminated my shoulder pain
Yes I so agree nomore kids keep up the impractical joke sweet 16 will be here before I know it and we both will get implanted birth control. Lets just say talk is cheap.
Jeremy your absolutely the best of the work out channels. I always struggle connecting with my chest during the bench press. Tried your tips in the video today and my chest is on fire bro. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Been doing same excercise last few days my body familiar with my routines. So i decided to try this video out damn my shoulder feels like balloons ������������
This was very helpful. Real examples of machines or weights and then the face to face how to discussion. Love how real you are and humble to say things like “use light weights” etc. Too many people think they have impress everyone in gym resulting in injury. Thanks again. ������
I have been working my shoulders for so long and never seemed to get results. When I started doing these exercises, I noticed a big difference within a couple weeks! This guy is awesome!!!
I’ve been doing the seated shoulder press completely wrong with having my back upright and I can feel it mostly towards my back and sometimes have slight pain in my back. Thanks for the tips man ������
Mike, its called locking out and it was invented in 1950’s bro. You got anything to offer that we dont know anything about? Not sure why you are yuotubing dude. you’re one of the smaller guys in the gym
i came here to proov my dad wrong he kepy saying standing caple flies work yo neck and like no its yo chest boy

Are these exercises for both sexes and will they affect my flexibility? I apologize if my question seems silly. I truly dont have any experience in this area.
while bulking how many calories do you guys burn off in a gym session? is it important to burn off as many calories as possible or felling the body part burning?
my chest is what inspired me to start lifting, it was my first muscle that developed without working out yet lol. that and my thighs were a little toned but from riding bicycles
Is it ok if I leave about 2-3 inches of space between the bar and my chest when I bring the bar down before bringing it up again?
P.s. I have pretty long arms and am already doing the full rom imo
Advice needed:
So if I do 3 sessions per week, M, T, & F. On each session would I try to d EACH of these till exhaustion? Or just pick 3 of them and do those 3 exercises to exhaustion? Like what is the best weekly routine and how to fit these all into it. Since I need to be working on 3 different muscle groups per session I just need advice on how much of these chest exercises to do per session?

I had years ago infection on a tendon on my shoulder, which caused calcification on said tendon/joint (or that what was told by the doctors). I had excruciating pain on my shoulder about where Jeff draw with the black pen. Felt like I had knife pushed into my shoulder from that spot. I couldn’t lift my hand above my belly when standing and couldn’t cross my body with my arm. Had to have cortisone and painkiller injections couple of times directly on the spot (oh boy that hurt!) + pain killers to ease it off.
I still have every now and then pains on my shoulder. I don’t feel any pain when using my hand, but sometimes when I lay down I can not lay on that shoulder as it feels so uncomfortable. I have recently started exercising, but looks like now my shoulder gets more often irritated. I don’t know is there anything to do, as the calcification can be scraped off only by having surgical operation (which of course will be the absolutely last treatment when nothing else helps anymore). So for now just trying different kinds of exercises and hoping for the best. So very grateful for all the different options to try out. Hopefully I’ll be able to find exercises that suits me. Would be very discouraging if training will f my shoulder up:/
Today at the gym I did a combo of a workout you possted earlier, a deadlift and then walk with the weight. I’m 73 and did 5 reps with 100 lbs and a walk but on my deadlift I paused just below the knee before I went up….that little pause was killer when you don’t rest before you walk with the weight! Hope you understand what I did!
Lol Don’t have permanent space for at home gym equipment… only have space for dumbbellsthink perfect, lets watch this video. first up weighted dumbbell dips on a rack. lmfaomaking it think we just need the dog leash
well guess you’re welcome for the one click… moving on
Hello Jeff, I am currently mid PT qualification gain and I would like to thank you for the constant flow of information and knowledge of how the human body can improve and better it’s self. By learning through my own course and taking on your advice and techniques I have learnt a phenomenal amount of ways to development the body and how it can adapt and overcome certain plateaus as such. You are a a credit if not an elite within your field. Thanks for your all your quality training methods and if you ever visit the West Coast of Scotland, Enjoy mate.
I have bad shoulders and watch a lot of YouTube videos on how to lift with shoulder pain and by far you have the best video explaining everything in detail and making it simple to understand. Thank You
Is it better to do a whole body work out a few times a week or better to hit specific body parts one specific days once a week? Also,,, what are super sets? I’m brand fire new to lifting. Thanks in advance for any advise✊��
No offense, I don’t think barbell overhead press by sitting on the floor is a good idea. Actually this is a compound movement which involves different joints and muscle to stabilize the barbell, I.e. legs, core etc. On the contrary, if this is working on a Smith machine, this would be good, coz the cable on this machine assists on stabilizing and balancing the barbell, it makes this as an isolated movement.
1:09 Z press (core)
2:21 Dumbell scoop press ( front delt)
3:08 Jammer (dumbell push press / thruster) (power)
4:23 Cheat lateral
5:17 Dumbell Urlachers (rear delts)
6:30 rap around rear delt row (rear delt)
You are the first person to inspire me to workout and you never run out of good stuff. I started from the old times garage lookin underground home gym of yours where you record your own video and your handy dandy adjustable dumbells. Face pulls all the way hahahaha
I have shoulders bc I combine dumbbell barbell with kettlebell not mentioning sculpt yoga. I love this!!! Few I have never seen & I’m a gym rat. Thanks so much! I’m trying ur routine now no rest period. Arnold would be proud. Thanks for sharing. Love the shirt. Where can I get 1? I want 1 for myself & for my 2 yr Labradoodle. U should him with a headband on ������
Jeff: Hey jesse try saying “wrap around rear delt row” 5x straight.
Jesse: says no
Me: wrap around rear delt row, wrap around rear delt row, wrap around rirrelrow…
When I do the scoop press, my left shoulder makes a grinding/popping noise. There’s no pain with it, but I feel it should not be happening
Hi ATHLENE-X great video informative science backed. I am a welder. Can you PLEASE provide me with the name of the manufacturer Is it called the MATRIX? Maybe a short vid of what it looks like and I shall make one. I do not have the money to buy this kit thank you.Richard.
i love how detailed Mike is with his instructions and detailed information on each muscle. if you dont understand the exercise or the muscle as many videos DO NOT explain, than injury and no understanding is accomplished. i will always go to Mike Thurstons exercise videos because he takes the time to educated us not just throw you into a weight. THANK YOU MIKE!
So I’m trying to gain weight (and mass), but I’m also trying to loose some belly fat, and I’m very confused on what my nutrition should look like.
Vince, I have a problem working in a local gym. There are several guys who are power lifters BUT every rep they do in their sets, they literally drop the weights each time. My line of thinking…is that it’s not necessary. It’s bad form and if you can’t set it down, for each rep out of the set, than it must be too heavy to do properly? Am I crazy? I’ve had customers complain about the noise and I myself get bothered by the loud dropping that is repetitive, after each rep. I just think they should drop the weight by 10lbs so they can set it down. Because their muscles shouldn’t fatigue after every rep…even if they’re just doing drop sets…I wouldn’t hear the dropping weight onto the floor for 15 minutes. Am I wrong? I need help! ASAP.
Jeff I wanted to ask what’s your opinion on doing the Lu Xiaojun plate raises for shoulders? I am trying to balance my shoulders as someone who recently started doing Olympic Weightlifting
Did the dumbell scoop press today. A killer exercise, way better the routine shoulder press. You know you are doing a good exercise when all the trainers at your gym are eye balling you. ��. Big fan Jeff. Thanks
Great instructional video. I will try these all out as I am full on it as Covid-19 has taken its toll with 4 months being off the gym
The last two months ago and have the time, but it would like us know when to go back in touch, but it would like us know when to go bj999 9b99999999999999999 b 9b 9999b 9999 99 9 b b bb
I think I need some help. Whenever I try to do any of these I don’t really feel my shoulders. I either feel the tension on my back or my neck but never in my shoulders. I tried these for a few days but the only soreness I feel is again on my neck and my back. Any way to fix this?
Thank you Mike for your detailed educating exercise videos. I love how you explain each muscle in detail and the exercise. You have motivated me and changed my exercise routines because of this. If you could please include exercises that can be done without a universal weight machine like the shoulder fly. i mimicked the fly press with dumbbells but i dont know if this will in fact target the right muscle? Love your videos. Thank you
Alot of people have the forwar-leaning shoulders. Is it not a good thing that the shoulders go back when you are lying there on the bench?
Been watching a lot your videos on shoulder mobility exercises and stretches. Those stretches combined with the exercises on this video has almost eliminated my shoulder pain
Yes I so agree nomore kids keep up the impractical joke sweet 16 will be here before I know it and we both will get implanted birth control. Lets just say talk is cheap.
Jeremy your absolutely the best of the work out channels. I always struggle connecting with my chest during the bench press. Tried your tips in the video today and my chest is on fire bro. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Been doing same excercise last few days my body familiar with my routines. So i decided to try this video out damn my shoulder feels like balloons ������������
This was very helpful. Real examples of machines or weights and then the face to face how to discussion. Love how real you are and humble to say things like “use light weights” etc. Too many people think they have impress everyone in gym resulting in injury. Thanks again. ������
I have been working my shoulders for so long and never seemed to get results. When I started doing these exercises, I noticed a big difference within a couple weeks! This guy is awesome!!!
I’ve been doing the seated shoulder press completely wrong with having my back upright and I can feel it mostly towards my back and sometimes have slight pain in my back. Thanks for the tips man ������
Mike, its called locking out and it was invented in 1950’s bro. You got anything to offer that we dont know anything about? Not sure why you are yuotubing dude. you’re one of the smaller guys in the gym
