the advice ur giving in here, is more than just GOLDEN!! i wish youd do smth for the ellbow too, had 4 PTs give up on me. came when i started bouldering and sticks no matter if taking a break, switching sports, just hitting the gym or just hitting climbing... left arm is sensitive to pulling, right one to pushing... cant even press myself up from the floor on my right for over a year...
If you don't have any nagging injuries, but wanna prevent future injuries as best as possible. In your professional opinion, it is better to start a routine with mobility or stability based movements first?
I recommend hanging out in relaxed stretches, static or with lil micro movements even when you have basic mobility. 45 seconds each muscle group is prolly fine. But two minutes plus in relaxed positions like that can help regenerate scar tissue etc.
I've a titanium plate implanted in my proximal humerus. I feel pain both while doing bench presses and overhead military presses. My ortho advised me against doing dips. Would you recommend the same stretching exercises shown in the video to me?
In other words, he has weak back muscles and he is not engaging them. A lot of people do not realize that the bench engages the whole body. While the primary muscles it works are the pecs and triceps. The lats, rear delts, quads, and glutes are all engaged to stablize the lift.
@@Ninequads93 make sure you are doing rows on your back or shoulder day. One of the things I do on bench to warm up is 1/4 rep pull ups. For those, squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold then release, you should not engage your biceps. That is to activate your back, get the blood flowing and stabilize your bench. I do not mean to insult you with the prior post. A lot of people focus on the heavy ego lifts such as bench and do not realize they need to build the stabilizing muscles too. I too have had shoulder pains on bench and this was my problem. Another tip I have heard to build that mind-muscle connection when you are benching is to picture yourself ripping the bar in half, squeeze and pull the bar apart. You got this, one injury does not stop a champion.
@@tmadlegionsoul3255 Thank you for the insight I never thought to warm up my back before doing chest. I will give this a try. I do have to agree when I started implementing the exaggerated arch to lift heavier is when my shoulder pain increased. So I will lower the weight and focus on stabilizing my muscles instead.
@@tmadlegionsoul3255 I'm out of gym due to shoulder pain started from Bench Pressing which over time now caused me pain in left scapula and now scapula winging. I went to my PT and he said my shoulder is rounded and both serratus anterior and lower Traps are weaker unable to hold the scapula (which is causing winging). So I guess a lot of Pressing movement and lack of strength in lower Traps (Though i always worked on my back days) has caused me this issue and now I have been told not to lift for 3 months 😞😣 So I'm really confuse as to how I landed where I am despite doing regular back days.
@@FATEYYYY If you are winging your elbows that will cause shoulder impingement. Some people also try taking their legs out of the bench which flattens their back against the bench, this too, shifts more of the weight to the front delts. Have a slight arch in your chest, check your hand placement, it should not be too wide that your winging nor too narrow that you are getting a tricep pump, squeeze your back and your glutes together to stabilize. Drive with your quads and squeeze your pecs while trying to pull the bar apart. I find video taping yourself helps so you can see your own form.
Benching is a dogshit exercise that no one should do unless they’re competing in a competition that requires it. I’m terms of chest exercises it’s legitimately almost the absolute worst
