Not to diminish Dr. Aaron’s instruction as he’s really great at breaking down the movements but I found Martins comments very helpful. Mentally, it’s good for me to know that even a power house like Martins can sometimes struggle with exercises that seem “simple”. It’s good to know that even some of the most fit have weaknesses too.
If you are able to specifically target a muscle you never/rarely use and other muscles around it are unable to assist with lift, obviously, a weak muscle will perform weak.
Great exercises! I have a SLAP tear and I will be going into surgery soon so I've been doing all kinds of shoulder strengthening exercises pre-surgery. A good tip to help keep your elbow close to your sides is to put a towel under your armpit (and a bit lower). so when you do the exercises you must not drop the towel. This keeps your elbows close to your sides and ensures correct form.
dusually surgeons don't repair SLAP, what did you complaina bout that they did? Also how big was your tear from like what clock position. Also was this exercise helpful before your surgery, i alwas felt wierd doing the W witht he slap tear?
@@Gk22632 Hey, surgery went great. I was back to rock climbing after 5 months after intense physiotherapy and much strengthening exercises to regain the lost range of motion. This surgery MUST be combined with a good physiotherapist afterwards and also with a good amount of work from you. My shoulder is actually now feeling stronger than the other one haha, cause in there it now has an anchor and two cables keeping the cartilage in its place. And of course I have done a ton of work strengthening all the muscles around it. I am back to rock climbing stronger than ever, can even do dynamic moves and hang just from this one arm with no problem. If you have more questions I am happy to answer them.
@@batman-sr2px I am rock climber and I wanted my tear to be repaired so I can go back to rock climbing in full potential. My tear was big, type 4 actually in which it also affects the bicep tendon as well so you have pain all the way down to the other end of the bicep. All exercises were helpful so you can strengthen the muscles before and after surgery. But if you are having pain in some just avoid them or limit the range of motion, keep a good activation of the scapula (send it down and out). As I said in a comment above I am now doing great and I am back to climbing 100%.
@@joji_okami that’s awesome, I’m currently dealing with a rotator cuff issue, it’s not as bad as yours was, but its really demotivated me, I’m doing lots of therapy and strengthening it slowly, its been a slow battle but this comment made me a lil more optimistic
Good instruction and great "patient". Martins seems like a humble, hard working dude! Also, good psychological example: Arrogance comes from insecurity and weakness. Meaning, Martins is super humble, talks about his weaknesses, and among the world's elite strength athletes, so nothing to prove. Arrogant people: Feel insecure and are worried others will see their weaknesses. 🙂
I've had a a couple of questions about rotator cuffs for a while: 1)Does having the upper arm elevated parallel to the ground before rotation work the rotator muscles any more effectively than having it simply next to the ribs? Or does it feel more difficult simply because it recruits the front and side delts? 2)Wouldn't a better option be to be facing down while on a medicine ball or ledge and perform the row and press motion to allow a more natural ROM for the shoulder than adding a fixed point with the band or cable? I believe this position would allow a better core stabilization and mind muscle connection to the correct muscles. Thanks for the amazing video! 😁👍
1) Different elevated positions will recruit the muscles slightly different. I talk about some of those changes here: squatuniversity.com/2018/10/06/stabilizing-the-shoulder-blade-joint/ 2) You can definitely perform them in that manner as well - so many different options really. It's all about the why behind the movement - and yes I have had many of my patients perform exercises for the shoulders performed over a ball, a bench or in positions like all 4's quadruped for more core stability activation.

Love your videos Dr. Aaron, you provide the best rehabilitation content out there and explained it in the most easy to catch way. Can you do a video about sacroiliac joint pain? Would be very helpful! Thanks!! Greetings from Oaxaca, Mexico.
EXCELLENT video. Doing the external rotations like this will be new for me. THANK YOU. Side note: The guy completing the exercises reminds me of the friend of Jean-Claude in the movie Bloodsport.
You can also purchase a Crossover Symmetry System if you can afford it. My gym has those and I do the short routine which takes less than 5 minutes before my training. Cheapest option is to follow the routine in this video or find resistance bands online.
i was working with my bodylastic bands, today. so i did the 3rd exercise. in doing so, i am changing it, for myself. i think the average person can pull back with the most weight, push up with the second most weight, and do the external rotation with way less weight. and since i am using this to work the shoulder and external rotation, i am skipping the first step, altogether. and standing far enough away, such that i struggle with the external rotation. then pressing with a higher resistance seems to be a pretty good balance. with the press, i was having problems keeping my arms vertical - they wanted to come forward, some. and i do have some shoulder issues, mainly with my right. but on the press, my left shoulder was having some problems, coming down. i did 2 sets of 5 - and that was a pretty good workout. i was using the green (2nd lightest) band. i am gonna experiment some with how far i kneel away, cuz i would like to get to a set of 10. if i cant do so with the green band, i can drop down to the yellow band.
Can you do a video on how to incorporate this kind of work into a program? Go through what/how to cut back to allow room, when to do it Pre/Post main sessions etc
The loads being used are submaximal compared to what he has to lift. Because you are taking stabilizers, and requiring them to work as prime movers. Look this is great for people who wanna underemphasize pulling, and emphasis pushing. The thing is that weighted chins can load the external rotators, and lower trap fibers with alot more weight in their correct role. The overemphasized bench press creates the situation of imbalance between internal rotation, and external rotation. The incredibly submaximal external rotation excercises are great to the extent that they turn off the antagonist internal rotators, but the pecs are still doing maximal work in other excercises while the external rotators are doing very submaximal work here. This is all really just the same situation of more pull needed to counteract more pressing. This is not somebody who sits hunched over at an office all day with the external rotators on stretch. They are awake, especially if he is push pressing. The real issue is that they are being antagonized with a level of force they cannot keep up with. Submaximal external rotation is a bandaid.
Trying to fix an external rotation imbalance (get just get perpendicular with the floor on my right forearm on facepulls, while the right opens considerably more) after I broke my collarbone. Thanks for this
Thanks Martins! Of course on a significantly lower level (😉) I exactly know what it means, to feel totally weak and unstable when doing (especially physiotherapist's) exercises you're not used to 🙈😂
@@PrimeTime23 my shoulders still make sound but thankfully it doesn't hurt. Just focus on natural movement of your scapula, don't pinch them together for exercises. Let them move naturally.
Thanks for all the quality videos. I had surgery to repair a torn posterior labrum in the left shoulder a couple weeks back. I start PT soon, but I wanted to reach out here as well and see if there are any specific exercises you would recommend as a part of the recovery/long-term strength process for SLAP injuries
Awesome video Dr. Aaron. I just have a question. How does the resistance equate to actual force when benching. What I mean is, I read somewhere that if someone is able to bench 300 pounds, they should be able to do dumbbells external rotations with 30 pounds (per Charles Poliquin). So since your using resistance bands, how do you know the resistance? I actually feel it more with Therebands than dumbbells so I just want to know how heavy I should go with these as my bench gets stronger.
It looks like the first position (side plank) causes a lot of stress on the knee joints, doesn't it? Adding even more weight and letting the force be perpendicular to the joint by elevating those legs... Idk
Ive tried everything. Always had issues with my left shoulder that bleeds down to my arm and elbow. Effects my pectoral muscle and tricep developement as well. No rotator cuff issues shown on the MRI. Nothing comes up on the X-ray. I get a burning pain that makes my arm feel weak whenever I lift, especially with push exercises. Pull exercises arent as bad but still get the burning pain. Got a steroid shot in my shoulder blade that didnt help. Tried every internal and external rotation stretch and lift, tried different muscle imbalance exercises and still no dice. If I lift too frequently my left arm will feel dead and will ache around the tricep, elbow, shoulder blade, and deltoid muscles (even with light weight). My left leg and left side of my abdomen have similar issues where the muscles dont seem to develop as well and will ache. About to get another set of x-rays and then see a neurologist. Never an easy fix.
Good video. But leave the core for core. If the focus here is external rotation. Leave it at that. Holding yourself up in that side plank position, while moving anything like, that is asking for an injury. It is not needed. Delete the side planking, and I agree with the rest 100%.
Usually how long is the rehabilitation with your athletes for shoulder impingement ? With which frequency per week ? It will be a new book « Rebuilding Milo ». Would it be a french version like with « The squat bible » ? Thank you for your vids. Very useful.
Depends on the person - some people can see significant changes in a few weeks doing the exercises I prescribe 3-4 days a week. And yes that is covered in my new book. Rebuilding Milo will be in English only at the start and hopefully translated into French eventually in upcoming years.
Gonna incorporate these moves in my program. Your content is good enough to skip the background music though - free music is bad music, and the same track as a bed for the entire vid is just distracting.
What kind of bands are you using in the press exercise? I looked on your website I only found the rogue monster bands referenced. I keep buying bands of amazon and they are circles and pretty thick but these seem stretchy and thin. Is there some special type that has a loop at the end for securing to a bench like this or is it just tied like a knot?
Is there any special benefit to doing the single-arm version (with one end of the band tied to a pole, rack, etc.) of the double-arm external rotation "W" shown in the video?
For all angles pressing excercise(decline/flat/incline/vertical), external rotation is enought? Do we need internal or something else? Is it good idea dooing it before pressing or rather another day, maybe one ligh set before for warming up? Remaing rotators excercise i mean internal etc are using in any excercise for example pull movement or something? Could You give Us examples? Thx
Please answer how comes when doing external rotated cuff on cables or bands I can’t have my elbow touch my side or get it even close my closest I get is at 45degrees out as I have seen the same with him in your video. Please explain ??
So what if doing these exercises and even just externally rotating my shoulders as if I was doing a face pull causes pain and discomfort and clicking, what do you do then? Do I still try do these exercises until I no longer feel discomfort doing them? If I have pain in the lowest least intense way of performing these exercises It’s hard to regress anymore to make progress and get healthier and pain free , any advice is welcome cheers !
Plank, mountain climbers (controlled, not bouncing), side plank, hanging knee raise, bird/dog, hollow body hold, flutter kicks, dead bug...all of these require you to brace the core and eliminate spinal flexion. Tons more out there. Good luck! I too am embracing the suck of core work.
Martins is like the coolest dude ever

Shoulders are easy to injure and crazy hard to heal properly.
Quick question, would addressing the weakness exposed with external rotation exercises aid in completing a proper pull-up?
What if you rotater cuff clicks when you externally rotate with the band?
He is like a giant innocent 🐻, when he says "I did 10"
I am wondering if I could do these exercises between sets in push and pull days. Would I be taxing the rotator cuff too much, or it may be fine?
For all angles pressing excercise(decline/flat/incline/vertical), external rotation is enought? Do we need internal or something else? Is it good idea dooing it before pressing or rather another day, maybe one ligh set before for warming up? Remaing rotators excercise i mean internal etc are using in any excercise for example pull movement or something? Could You give Us examples? Thx
