Right on the money! Ever since I started “retracting my scapula”, I’ve been slowly getting an increase in shoulder pain (on my right side)…I’m going to go back to how I was doing it before (and had no pain)…apparently I was also doing dumbbell flyes with too much weight (70 pounds per side)…so I’ve gone way down and that has already started helping. It’s all a journey but THANK YOU for this vid…no BS. I’m here for it. 💪💪🏋️♀️🏋️♀️
I'd recommend switching out dumbbell flyes period if you have any shoulder issues. The pec deck and cable crossover are suitable replacements. I speak from experience, flyes used to TEAR UP my shoulder, but once I replaced them, shoulders stopped hurting.
@@richardcaraballo1185 I don’t have access to a pec deck or cables. I’ve dropped the weight way down to just 25 pounds to get the movement in and it has made a huge difference so far (it’s only been a week or so). I may take your advice and just ditch them completely because it’s not worth it.
for the long arm boys, a wide "powerlifter like" grip actually helped me alot, together with a small back arch. Those two got my wrist and shoulder pain a lot better.
It's crazy how injury prone the shoulder joint is, yet how ignored it is on this platform. Shout-out to you for covering it. I injured my shoulder in a car accident actually, and ever since then it ain't been the same. Not bad enough to warrant a hospital trip and all the bills that come with it, but bad enough that i can't barbell bench press anymore, which used to be my favorite lift 😔😔
Hey bro, just wanna say if you ever feel like doing non gym videos to upload more, just do it. I watch them because of your personality *and* because of the content in them tbh
@@REVIVALFitness I have 10 minutes walk to a gym, so I thought, man I dont need to warm up, other than some stationary shit. But moving your hands back and forth on a elliptical helped me a lot.
the last point about scapular retraction on pressing movements was eye-opening. Im currently in physical therapy for repeated shoulder impingement and we have started working on strengthening the serratus and improving scapular protraction since my left scapula wings a bit. I had always been taught to retract scapula on pressing movements and your video really illuminated the connection between that and my shoulder issues. excellent video!
I never had shoulder issues then I took 11 years off from the gym. I’ve been back in for 2 years. I have distal clavicle osteolysis now. I’ve adjusted my flare when benching, done less OHP, and do not spend time thinking about scap retraction. I simply push the weight. Seems to have helped.
I have a 6'7 wingspan and fucked shoulders from D1 sports. With this new craze of stretch mediated hypertrophy I was doing extra ROM cable laterals, DB presses, etc and they completely fucked me up. I learned the hard way not to go overboard with it. Don't cut the standard ROM, but lower or stretch the weight only until it doesn't hurt. Like RF mentions with OHP. Your posture will collapse, there will be no space for your tendons and ligaments and you will mess them up. IMO it is better to progress with slightly less "optimal" form than no progression because you are always hurt. We are all going to make it!
As a 78 year old guy trying to recover muscle mass lost during Androgen Deprivation Therapy(to undetectable T level for prostate cancer treatment), I find your training recommendations and explanations to make the most sense for me. I am now "unnaturally natural" to high normal range T levels on TRT, vacillating between cut or bulk strategy. I don't want to regain the 30 pounds of waist fat I put on doing ADT, and have now lost on diet and resistance exercise (177 lbs --> 147 lbs), but I need more muscle on my 5'9" frame. A slower muscle gain rate in exchange for less fat accumulation is acceptable. Do you have any suggestions for exercise/diet strategy? I trust you will have the best and honest advice. Thank you.
In my first years of lifting, I was bench pressing with elbows flared out because that's what people like Kinobody were doing, and my shoulders always hurt and my overhead press strength was limited by this, but eventually, I figured out that a slight elbow tuck of 45 degrees is better than going 90 degrees (elbows flared out), and that completely fixed the issue. One of the problems with form videos on youtube is when you have a youtuber with a really big audience doing the lift wrong, then people start to copy him and get injured, thankfully I caught the issue before that happened.
@marzukkhan3396 it could be. Idk who you're talking about but they are probably more genetically gifted and possibly younger. You can be shredded and bench 3 plates with bad form.
@@jessekappler4160 well i know the guy and hes been an advanced lifter for some time and he doesn't have bad form on bench press. As mentioned in the video, it may look like the elbows are flared but that doesn't necessarily mean the form is bad or there is internal rotation. He may not have powerlifting form but its not bad form
Wonderful video. Recently, I alleviated my tendinopathy on my left shoulder following some rehab exercises but I would add that other two things helped me. The first one is performing clean movement in every exercise, and the second one is performing the dumbbell chest press in a stretching way using the other hand as a help during both the positive and the negative, especially in the positive anyway. Just anecdotal but I hope that my experience could match some other people's experience.
This is spot on I've been having arm shoulder nips and pains for 45 years lol been doing heavy benching all my life competitively always have those lingering pains restrictive movements and the weird thing is it went from my left arm for like 7 years to my right arm for the last 6 years I'm not kidding you sound strange but that's the way it is chiropractor did no good just have to deal with the pain and still packing away after all these years going heavy on bench in pain.
Great video and great point about scapular retraction I was doing this on incline DB Press and it didn't feel right at all I kept on focusing on that than the actual movement. Some exercises upset the elbow too at times like single Arm tricep extensions and Incline DB Skullcrushers but I did notice that when you had a the bench really far back it doesn't irritate the elbow
I had right shoulder pain during benching, push-ups etc for 8 months. After some reaserch one possible reason was that my back and rear delts are too weak compared to my chest and front delts. I modofied my training so I did 22 sets per week for my back and rear delts and only 6 sets for chest. After 2.5 months my shoulder pain completly went away and my posture has improved.
58 year old here. I have cranky shoulders from decades of lifting but a few years ago I started focusing on rear delt/rotator cuff work and it’s made a big difference.
Listen to your body as well. I made the mistake of not doing that and ended up not being able to press for a week or so to not being able to press for like 2 months. My body usually tells me if im on the verge of something going wrong. A little tiny bit of pain can turn into a lot of pain very quickly
Yeah was chasing 315 bench so hard then I got weightlifters shoulder(overuse/impingement) and I couldn’t do any push movements, even some pull ones hurt. I had it about a year before I could bench again, towards the end I started using very light weight and would go very slow and get a stretch, then explode back up. That helped a lot with getting back into lifting and I’ve spent most of this year getting back where I was strength wise. But now I’ve been fighting this bug or something that’s been messing with me and I haven’t really been able to progress.
Hey MK, can you please make a video on how to break through strength plateaus? Because my legs are big but somehow still weak and it pisses me off. Ik you have a similar one but can u make an updated one focusing more on strength training rather than muscle building? That would be really helpful.
For me I hurt my shoulder as a noob and had on and off shoulder pain in my first year of lifting. Funnily enough, knock on wood but I haven’t had shoulder issues in the last 4 years after, the fix being bulking (I was frail before) and getting much stronger shoulders. I didn’t actually do any specific stretches to fix the issue.
You should do a video about knee strengthening. I feel like that just isn't discussed enough, though I am out of the loop when it comes to fitness media so I might be wrong.
Question: (sorry spammed on a few posts I want some opinions) - I’ve been going gym for a while, I now go with my friend who’s in better shape than me by far, I also try to eat as good as I can and definitely do better than most people while eating protein primarily most days, I don’t do too much cardio like I did before, I recently done a testosterone test and it says my test is HIGH and my free test is in the normal range for my age (21). But after all I can’t seem to grow properly AND I’m lowkey skinny fat with a small belly, I only weigh around 70kg and been going gym for around a year… is it just my genetics? Is my build small like that and I need to lose even more fat and become 60kg to look decent without fat? I feel like as a man I’m too “weak” especially for someone going gym this much. THINKING OF TAKING A ESTROGEN TEST AS WELL COULD THAT BE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I ALSO HAVE HIGH TEST APPARENTLY? (More on my mind but can’t remember everything to mention right now).

Bruh yesterday, I might've hurt or impinged my left shoulder a bit when I was removing my collared shirt. But right now I just finished my pull day workout and my left shoulder is feeling fine. I even hit the punching bag after lifting.
Is it ok if you cant sustain the same reps in all sets of an exercise. I struggle with this on bench and ohp particulary and I get below the 5 rep mark sometimes. What to do?
Yes that's fine. Sometimes you may have to drop the weight if you do too little of reps. Low reps are ok tho as long as it's till failure. Make sure you don't have any major form breakdown and you're good 👍🏾
Warm up your triceps before overhead work in general, (ohp, overhead triceps extension, db pullovers) That's a tendinitis, you can fix them in like 5 minutes with a good massage in the triceps tendons

yea always keeping your scapula in retraction for any upper body movement is the dumbest cue for bodybuilding, literally fighting your bodys natural movement pattern just to slap more weight on the bar and barely feel the targeted muscle

@@REVIVALFitness they probably didn't expect people to be autistic enough to keep the retracted (not depressed) position throughout the whole movement like I always did, LOL.
Your body and joints have a limited shelf life. Shoulders are involved in almost every upper body exercise, even in leg movements they're stabilizers. There comes a point with age and years of wear and tear where your shoulders start hurting. It sucks, but that's the reality.
