I’ve been rehabbing some old injuries for about 9months. This channel has been a very valuable resource. Since progress isn’t linear, the timing of this video is very good for me. Thank you.
Fucked up my right shoulder somehow while DB squatting. Had crazy impingement despite doing shoulder rotation warm-ups before every workout. Those across the body stretches somehow just eased up absolutely all the pain I was feeling!
@@SquatUniversity No just imagine doing the standard shoulder extension with your arm close to your body. when i do it i feel a contraction inside my rotatar cuff muscles not rear delt. its not painful but if i tried to force the external rotation beyond my mobility i feel a temporary soreness inside. just like when u over flex your biceps. is that normal? ky friend expeirences something close too
@@unnaturalatrophy8073 If it feels like the start of a cramp then its pretty common. That's what happens when the muscles are weak in that range. Just gradually build up strength and control in that position, give it enough time to recover between sessions and it should feel better.
@@Matt-zj7qs i actually have pretty well developped rear delts. i asked other ppl they said they feel it too. its like the rotator cuff muscles contracting. but i agree j should train my rear delts even if they are well developped (was caught up in the bkdybuilding proportion thing lol) recently acutally at lockout on bench especially on grinder reps i feel my rear delt pushing have u experienced something close? thanks
My shoulders dislocate easily and its affecting my ability to benchpress and lateral raise. Ive been trying to find the muscle imbalance with different exercises and now i just have pain. Are these stretches safe for me?
My fysio showed me an stretch for internal rotation: back and shoulders straight, get the arm behind your back and slowly bring the elbow closer to your body with keeping your shoulders straight.
How should be the scapula position during the cross body stretch? Should I leave the scapula protract or should I try to keep it locked and depressed in the back while stretching? I'm having lots of shoulder issues like slight impingment and biceps tendonitis and hoping that a greater range of motion will help me to solve all this recurrent issues while training.
i feel a pinch on my left arm/shoulder when my hands are pointed forward, even without weight... i observed this when doing lateral raises, my left shoulder seem to tire quickly...
What if I can't even get my elbows up against the wall for the Wall Screen test? What mobility restriction does that indicate and how can I overcome that?
I was moving my shoulder in internal rotation, it was grinding shoulder bone and 3 days later i have shoulder joint night pain.its tgat rotator cuff tendonitis...im scared to death now
Hi! I’m a competitive powerlifter from Canada,(haven’t competed in 5 years, but making a return) and I’ve been having issues with my right shoulder for the past 2 years. When putting both hands overhead, my right shoulder won’t permit it unless I bend my elbow about 20 degrees. My strength and mobility is greatly limited.
#squatUclub Do you have a video about fixing chest pain? If not, please make it after a chest exercise I feel pain in my chest and I don't feel the pain on the muscles it feels like the pain is in my bone... #squatUclub
Interesting , instructiveand motivating. Just one thing, how about isomtrei exercises e. stepping a foot from a wall and pressing tit either at west levol or say ačť degres left and right.? Paul,68
Hello Aaron!! Need a video like this for external rotation. I tried to stretch ext rotation buts its painfull for my shoulders, and my ext rotation strenght its good enough.. I dont know whats happening
Awesome routine. So i am finding lomot3e external rotation (more on led) i cant condortaaby get my arms up flat on the wall. Where do I back to improve?
as someone who’s had kyphosis, bringing your arm across your body like he demonstrated is the last thing you wanna do.. you’re literally stretching your rear delts and rhomboid while tightening your pec and anterior delt … absolutely amazes me the stuff you see on youtube that is just absolutely and absurdly incorrect
Hi, I want to ask if it is possible to have increased carrying angle after a trauma/injury as I am experiencing right now. Internal rotation of arm hurts and should I use a bracing all day to keep it straight?
Awesome video as always! I pre ordered the book on amazon and should be arriving in a couple of weeks! I’m getting surgery today for bilateral inguinal hernia. Is this something you have familiarity with and discussed in the book at all?
Thank you so much! So yes I haven seen many patients with that surgery. now I don't talk about post surgery rehab specifically in this book but there is a lot of things in the hip pain chapter that will still benefit you as far as uncovering mobility and stability deficits.
Hey dr, just bought rebuilding milo and am loving it! My question is, if on my tests for shoulder I only fail on the muscle imbalances, do I need to add mobility work as well (even though my tests are ok) or should I only do the muscle imbalances exercise? Also, how much rest between sets? Thank you! Killed it in the book, one of the best I have ever read (and I have read a lot of them! Lol)
I would only do the strength/stability work. Rest should be enough to where you feel recovered to complete the entire next set without fatigue hurting your technique. So usually 1 min is enough. Also thank you so much for picking up a copy of my book - that means so much to me .
Thank *YOU* so much doc! After 3 physios told me to stop deadlifting FOREVER (which isn’t even the motion that causes me pain lol) I finally uncovered the source of my shoulder pain. You are doing a great service to all athletes sir. And, though I love kStar, this book deserves to outsell supple leopard (which is a great book also) by 100x! It is that good!
ive been having this strange problem where my lateral head of my tricep feels tense and painful when i squat lowbar, used to be accompanies by shoulder pain but not its there all alone, having my hand behind my body, palm facing away, and pushing away from my body feels weak and painful, im not sure what sort of problem this is, hope you can help!
Thank you Aaron for the well explained and useful content. I've been following your videos to improve my ankles and hip mobility and are getting better. Now trying to perform Single Arm Kb Overhead Squat im having lots of mobility problems in the upper body. As i have not seen a video about it, maybe is a good topic for you to investigate. Thank you for your time and altruistic effort.
hmmm. I thought the problem with internal rotation is that it causes impingement of the ligaments et al passing through the subacromial space. Do these stretches help with that?
That is the problem with looking at human anatomy like a machine. All tissue adapts to stress. Internal rotation is an important part of shoulder movement, use it!
Just means you have a lot of mobility - not a bad thing. i see a ton of hypermobile athletes. Just means you need to focus on your stability and control of the motion you do have.
Thank you for the video and the test. I was trying to do the test but I had problems getting into the starting position in the first place. When I roughly managed that I could rotate downwards quite ok but could feel the rear delts tightening. My rear delts, lats and teres muscles feel very stiff and I can hardly reach my mid back from below. That's why I thought I should work on internal rotation, too. Apart from that, I have been working on my T-spine mobility and external rotation with some success. Still far from being really mobile and getting issues from exercises such as pull ups...Or could this be a rotator cuff thing? So many things to consider. Does anybody have some advice? Would highly appreciate it. Thx.

I have been working on slow tempo lat pull downs and pull over, both focusing on the excentric stretch at the top of the movement. Maybe it works for you.
@@PrimeTime23 what i have figured out is tight teres minor or infraspinatus are main causes for lack of internal rotation, one can stretch those muscles to improve range of internal rotation. One more reason could be right posterior capsule.
@@PrimeTime23 only in left shoulder and it did improve with stretching everyday, google search how these muscles causes limited internal rotation know the science behind it, do ur own research and gain knowledge about how to stretch those muscles
