  • If you've spent years sitting behind a desk your Pec Minor is probably going to be restricting your shoulder mobility. If the Pec Minor is locked up, your scapula and all the other muscles controlling it are going to have to work against your strong Pec Minor. Give it a little bit of love and your shoulder will love you back.

    You’re a g. This has been hindering my progression in the gym as if I’ve just neglected the issue and pushed it to one side and continued on now my chest is upper chest lacks on one side because it’s been working on my shoulder because it’s caving in. I found doing this for 30 second stretch releasing then each time go into it a bit deeper

    • @the_shoulder_guy
      @the_shoulder_guy  6 месяцев назад +1

      Great to hear you found some release. A great principle in relation to pain/issue I follow is don't accept it, don't neglect it and don't reject it. Pain is a signal to stop doing something, change what you're doing or start doing something different so you're on the right track if you're starting to find some relief with these simple exercises.

      You do rehab to restore strength after injury. That’s the only time you need to do rehab.
      If you don’t have pain, is there a problem with the strength in your upper Pec compared to the other side?

    I was doing press ups without warm-up (silly mistake). I did not think anything of it, and then my right chest felt like a tear, hoping it's a minar tear. I will try this. Would it be wise to do this right away, or should i wait a couple of days give it time to self heal before doing this?

    • @the_shoulder_guy
      @the_shoulder_guy  9 месяцев назад +1

      Depending on the severity of what ever happened to your chest will determine how long you should let it heal. If it feels sore to touch the skin you wouldn’t want to be doing this kind of release work.

      @the_shoulder_guy  10 месяцев назад +1

      If you have sharp pain while doing any exercise you’re not doing it correctly. This will help to give your shoulder better capacity to move better but will not fix poor push up technique. Check out my other video on how to do a push up correctly.

    • @the_shoulder_guy
      @the_shoulder_guy  10 месяцев назад

      Yes form isn’t the fix now. Good form will prevent you from doing it again once you’ve fixed it. The issue is you’re humeral head is unstable in the glenoid socket so getting the stability back is the key here. This issue is something I used to struggle with and it’s not a simple fix like “do this external rotator cuff exercise” to solve your problem. It takes time and understanding which is exactly what I designed the Bulletproof Shoulder Program for which you can check out here www.bulletproofshoulders.net/3-phase-program

    Is there a way to do it with a trigger ball? I see other vids of people doing in more on the front of the shoulder, but is that hitting the pec major more?

    • @the_shoulder_guy
      @the_shoulder_guy  Год назад +2

      Not really. If you use a ball from the side you'll only be hitting the 5th rib attachment (which isn't a bad thing) but you'll miss the 3rd and 4th rib attachement. Yes if you use it from the front you'll be hitting the Pec Major muscle and tendon. You could try using a stick instead of fingers. But I find I have a lot more control with fingers.

      @@lachycummings3765 I very rarely focus on the rotator cuff first to solve shoulder pain/issues. Mostly it's teaching the lats how to be strong in vulnerable positions that gives the best results.
