    1 year and 7 months out from a labrum tear. No surgery, did my own Pt w a TON of ur exercises. Still was having issues w a tight lat and tricep and realized my shoulder blade was super weak. First week of doing a few of these I had a lot of burning, feeling like my muscles were twisting up… secondish week I notice my lat loosen like crazy. I feel like my shoulder is finally supported better when sleeping on my back and I’m starting to wake up to a more normal feeling shoulder. I’ve been able to do shoulder presses without having to stop my first set due it it causing irritation. Super happy with my progress from your information.

    Hey SQUAT U. Your videos have helped me tremendously. I think it would be an awesome idea for you to put together some sort of masterclass per bodypart. Could go into detail about different shoulder impingements and how all these mechanics inside the shoulder are working. Consider myself to be relatively smart and all this stuff still greatly confuses me. RUclips is mostly full of people just repeating sentences they've read or heard from another video and have no idea what they're talking about. Feel like youre one of the guys capable of clearing things up in more detail!

    Good stuff. Very well explained. I do direct rotator cuff work with mace and heavy club swinging. I train shoulder stability with crawling and Turkish Get Ups. As a bonus this also builds coordination, balance, and takes care of the majority of my core training at the same time. It takes time to learn, but once you do it’s very efficient and fun (imagine, “prehab” being so fun you never forget to do it).

    Honestly, one of the best shoulder stability exercises I've done are farmer's walks. I did YTLW's and such for years but dealing with pec tightness, doing farmer's walks and doing snatch grip barbells holds overhead means I can shoulder press without pain now, basically for the first time ever.

    • @ryanwilson7241

    You don't increase supraspinatus activity by internally rotating during shoulder abduction. It will give the supraspinatus less room to move though, which will impinge it even more.
    If anything you want to externally rotate while performing abduction. If you look at the supraspinatus on a model you'll notice that it sits on the upper back half of the shoulder. Because it originates on the backside of the shoulder and inserts on the outside of the humerus it also contributes to external rotation, even though bringning the arm up is its main function.
