Painful Push-ups? Try This Strategy

We’ve all heard the cue “break the bar” during the bench press.⁠
⁠
If you’re experiencing shoulder pain during your push up, try applying the same principals of rotation to the movement. Grab/grip the ground, screw those shoulders into the ground, and see an increase in stability AND a decrease in pain.⁠
⁠
Give this a go and report back in the comments.
If that pain persists, download our app and take the Mobility Test. It may reveal missing ranges of motion that could be causing pain. AND go hit the Pain Section, choose the shoulder, and follow along with the recommended videos. Download the app here: bit.ly/3QLv0EB
