Could you make a video for people that are very tall and we have to hunch over a lot, I'm 6'6" and I've had rounded shoulders for my whole life, I've been trying to find this but on my right side in my mid back just under my shoulder blade it's painful and I have a hard time knowing if that's the rotator cuff or something else
Jeff, I feel like I'm not able to do the fixes you've suggested, I may need something for my advanced upper back issue, but I'm trying to follow your instructions
That thoracic stretch is game changing! The only stretch I've found that can really get some distance in there and give my shoulders some room to breathe. Thanks Jeff!
These execersizes are similar to what my physical therapist had me doing to recover from an injury, but since I started incorporating these into my routine I've really been really noticing a quick improvement. Not only is the pain subsiding, but, like Jessie, my shoulder is settling back into place. Thanks, Jeff, for providing your expertise to many people!
Could not find a summary, so here are the 4 steps: 1. Dump those slumped shoulders! 1:12 2. Uncuff your rotator cuff 2:31 3. Attack those lats! 3:55 4. Redesign your thoracic spine 5:58
Hi Jeff, I've been suffering from a constant pain in my rear delt for some time now. This, and all your videos, have had helped me to overcome them and gave me the knowledge to understand my body more and how to train hard and safe at the same time. Thank your for your constant uploading and your attention in tackling topics who only a specialist like you can explain them thoroughly and suggest ways to treat them effectively. I hope all our comments helps to keep you motivated and keep them COMING! Thanks again
Hey, I'm experiencing the same pain in my rear delt. Whenever I go overhead extension, I can comfortably lift the dumbbell but there's a very awkward strain in my rear delt that prevents me from doing the exercise. What did you do to fix yours?
you are one of a kind man who really cares and really breaks things down my shoulder has been dying for awhile and this helped immediately I'm a roofer and a weight lifter so I really work my myself and you really help thanks again
wow! it helps me in great relief... having this shoulder problem for more than a month after popping my right shoulder rotator cuff from tossing the basketball to other goal that gave me great pain then rested it for 3 weeks but still so much impingement on my right shoulder but manaegable... now i'm having a very little pain after doing this in just 3 days... you are my saviour Jeff!! keep it up and god bless!
I see many people saying i had shoulder surgery guys please don't go for surgery i have had very bad shoulder i wasn't even able to lift my arm to about chest height then i found this channel and followed many shoulder videos no doubt it will take time to recover but now i am able to lift heavy Shoulder press (Half the body weight) Deadlift ( bit more than bodyweight) Bench press I'm bad at bench but can manage half of my body weight
I never had shoulder pain while working out, but this fixed my headaches after workouts! Thank you very much Jeff, these headaches were really troubling me
Mr. Cavalier , I just watched your overhead should pain solution video. I want to thank you for your magnanimous gift of you tube videos and excellent instructions on exercise. I am looking forward to getting your training program in the near future. Kevin H.
I have spent YEARS looking for high quality instructions on foam rolling the lats, and here they are sitting in plain site in an Athlean-X video. I should have known. This channel is awesome. Thanks guys.
I have been suffering from this issue FAR TOO LONG. I asked everywhere and was told weird useless solutions including deep tissue massage and permanently giving up shoulder training. Finally, finally I think I have something sensible to do to fix it. Thanks Jeff, I really am grateful.
OH man.... the stretch relieved my shoulder impingement a LOT !!!.... the roller squeezed my lats and I felt a piercing pain on them but I continued with caution slowly...... Now I can raise my arm with almost no pain !!... TKS !!!
I would love it if you guys did a series on kinesiology to help us even better understand the movements involved in training. I know you guys always break down the parts involved in each movement/workout/stretch, but it would be super helpful to see you break down how each muscle works in coordination with other muscles and parts. Always love your videos!
Jeff thanks man! I followed your iTBand video and got rid of annoying hip pain in 3 days... still do the exercises weekly. Going to add this to my weekly mobility exercises and will comment later.
So glad this showed up on my feed...the glute workouts have been saving my back, but my shoulders need the same treatment. I have a connective tissue disorder, and this channel has been saving me from a lot of pain! I know how to work out my muscles to support my joints.
I love this two. Jeff is the best. I’ve been playing sports and working out over 15 years since I was 14 and I Thought I knew a lot till I stumbled on Jeff’s videos. Completely changed my life and how I look at fitness world and all the wanna be fitness gurus. Jeff for President.
I've done a lot of lighting work, over head working all day. I developed a shoulder impingement and all these exercises have helped me tremendously. I went through 12 weeks of physical therapy but these 4 steps have helped more than the other simple stretching exercises they had me doing. I'm very grateful I found this system. Thanks Jeff for the posts it's been working out great for me the past month since I've started using this system.
Have been having shoulder pain and neck pain from fracturing my T7-T8-T9-T10. Headed up after years or so but now all should and Thoracic scar tissue pain. This stretch helped almost right away. Going to keep this going. Thanks!
I am 72 and typically workout (trx, bands and calisthenics) 6 days a week; however, a 3 month building project prevented me from working out...which resulted in rotator cuff issues. I have been working to strengthen and stretch my rotator cuff muscles (while getting back into my routine) for the past month. I have made some gains...BUT I GOT IMMEIDATE RELIEF when I did STEP 2 in this video. That is now part of daily routine before my trx, bands and calisthenics. THANK YOU!!
punks you dont realize that in 4.5 million subscribers there will always be someone who will get the exact video he needs in the certain moment? its not creepy, you try to make it creepy
TL; DR I had some bad shoulder pain and this video fixed it. Thank you!! I was in a minor car accident (a kid in a truck hit me while I was stopped at a light--unfortunately my head was turned when it happened and snapped my head back even with the relatively low-speed impact) and shortly afterward developed an issue in my shoulder--a lot of pain when doing any type of overhead press, shooting pain if I did a "windmill" motion with the arm, and even rotating my arm to a 90 degree position was uncomfortable. I was being proactive (doing all the recommended exercises, massage therapy, holding off on exercises that made it worse, etc). But this video, and specifically the foam roller with the outstretched arm, was like a magic bullet. The first time that I used the roller (on my lats, around the edge of the scapula, and into the chest), the pain was so bad that I literally got tears in my eyes. I think that pride was the only thing that kept from just straight up crying at the gym. But I've been doing the roller during and after my workouts and on my days off and it has been the thing that pushed me from being 60% better to 95% better. This is such a great routine, and the fact that it can be done in about 3 minutes is such a plus. I probably watched 15 videos on shoulder pain, and I'd highly encourage anyone experiencing that type of pain to give this routine a try.
Thank you very much Jeff for your videos. You have saved and cured me of so much intense rotator cuff and lower back pain this past year through your videos. You are the most excellent trainer out there. I hope to meet you and have you train me one day.
My guess would be weak rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is supposed to keep the head of the humerus low in the shoulder, so when it's weak the humerus moves upward and fills the space that's supposed to exist in the shoulder. I would guess the stretch of the bicep could also be caused by this. I'm no expert, so please take this with a grain of salt. Of course rotator cuff strengthening can't really be a bad thing
Jeff - fantastic video! The explanation was super clear with great visuals. You not only pointed out the problem and causes, but also provided clear instruction on what to do to correct them. All of your videos that I have watched share these quality aspects. It's no surprise why you are sought out by so many. I just finished PT on a shoulder rotator cuff issue. I feel my PT provider was very good and my issues are about 95% gone on their way to 100%. I found huge similarities between their instruction and yours. It's so logical and based on the anatomy and movements of the shoulder with emphasis on doing all fix movements with correct posture and position. You asked at the end to give a thumbs up on this video. It's not a mouse option here, but I'm giving you two thumbs up and then rotating them to two thumbs back!!
Don't mean to spoil your surprise but Jeff has 4.3 mil subscribers. The probability that he posts a video that asdresses an issue thats affecting one or more of his subs is very high
Michael Flammia dude I find if I keep my shoulders externally rotated slightly that helps. So if you were holding the weight and you stuck your thumbs out they would be facing the ceiling more.
You have to not only externally rotate your shoulders (the thumbs shouldn't be pointing all the way up towards the ceiling-- they should be more like a 45% angle)-- but then you have to lean forward slightly so that the exercise works your medial (side) deltoids. If you just externally rotate the shoulder, without leaning forward, then the anterior (front) deltoids will be in line with the pull of gravity. So to keep the exercise working the side delts, be sure to do both: externally rotate the shoulders, and lean forward.
I think he has a video on this already. I believe his main points were to lean forward a little and instead of turning your pinkie toward the ceiling when you lift, turn your thumb toward the ceiling instead, creating external rotation rather than internal
Another tip I can add that helped me is to not go above your shoulders. When you do the side lateral raise, stop right at shoulder level. Usually when I raise the weights beyond that, my shoulders start to pop, and it sounds like they're coming out of socket.
Jesse getting big, happy for him. I’ve been following Jeff’s stuff for a year now. My transformation is actually pretty insane. I’m super happy about it, so thanks Jeff. I went from a 150 lb hardgainer to 165 lbs. Its a lifestyle for me now.
Thank you so much JEFF!!!! Ur a life savior....i hurt my shoulder joint badly from playing badminton and couldn't raise my arm up till i saw this video and viola! I can now from using my rotator cuff...thanks again! :)
im watching a lot of jeff’s videos about the subjects that i have to work on (stretches and stuff like that on lower back and shoulders), taking screenshots when they perform the stretch, put all that on an album, go to the gym in my rest day and be like half an hour just stretching and mobilizing shit, really good! i’ve had rotator cuff problems to the point that i couldnt incline bench press (i would perform 5-6 reps and my rear delt was tight and i had to stop way before failure), now i can easily do the incline, but overhead press still can’t! but shoulders getting better!
Ryan Craig damn you look so young for your age just checked out your insta. Try eating Oreos and cereal everyday and try to eat out a lot, although it won’t be cheap you’ll gain weight.
By far you’re the best trainer. Your technique and training on muscle anatomy is amazing. When you’re Bullshit free trainer you get the best advice. Thanks for your videos and I hope people can see the difference.
Jeff could you do the video on shoulder blade grinding ( don’t know how to explain but it sound grinding or popping inside it) but it doesn’t hurt at all! However, I felt stiff in my shoulder and hurt sometimes. Thank you
Just wanted to say thanks for your help Jeff , Some 8 months ago i was convinced that shoulder surgery was in my future , My arm would actually go numb at times, besides pain in lifting my right arm over my head , which would get better only to be badly aggravated again , The problem had gotten worse over 3 or 4 years and was getting to a bad stage , I had a combination of shoulder problems , along with carpal tunnel issues as i understand it , In any case my immediate problem was i was afraid to exercise in fear of making things worse .. And this is where you came to the rescue .. Long story short , many pullups and pushups and around 8 months later .. It's around 90% better , and i'm saying that conservatively because i don't want to jinx it .. My shoulders fixed , my elbows fixed . The exercise and beginning to care has recently pushed me to quit smoking .It all has cascaded into better things .. so Thanks for the help old boy , and keep up the good work.
JustCalisthenics This is great information for me because of the years I have been living with essentially calcification tendinitis of the shoulders. I want toe delay if nit eradicate need for surgery while regaining the shoulder flexibility to simply throw a ball with my kids.
Your shoulder tutorials are so helpful. I'm still in physical therapy from rotator cuff repair labrial repair and distal clavicle resection and subacromial decompression all in one surgery 23 weeks ago. Thank you!
Can you do a video for people with actual injured shoulders? Many athletes actually break their shoulder and it is very difficult to get back just to normal movement. Exercises like these are great, but way too advanced for someone who can't even control their arm yet. I think a lot of people will benefit from a video about very minor movements and it will give them hope to see it is possible that get full use of their shoulder again.
My situation is more aligned with this video. However, my mom broke her shoulder and has been having a tough time getting normal mobility. I know all the movements (like listed in this video) to help, but they are way to advanced. She goes to therapy and has gotten decent results, but I would love to see what movements Jeff says as I can't really find any videos about this on large channels. I am sure it is a problem for many athletes, too, and think a video would do well on this channel.

Actually worked for me, did these plus some other exercises 4 times a week and rested all other shoulder exercises for 3 months.
That thoracic stretch is game changing! The only stretch I've found that can really get some distance in there and give my shoulders some room to breathe. Thanks Jeff!
Jeff: do these exercises and you will feel less pain.

Is anyone else pushing their shoulders back as they watch this as soon as Jeff mentions the hunched shoulders?
NO... (LOL!) ... yes.
Jeff’s watching
ofc not..... :( ow wait it just did it again xD
Used to be like that for years, got back in normal posture about a year ago. Was really annoying
Ha ha, cant help it !

I was in a minor car accident (a kid in a truck hit me while I was stopped at a light--unfortunately my head was turned when it happened and snapped my head back even with the relatively low-speed impact) and shortly afterward developed an issue in my shoulder--a lot of pain when doing any type of overhead press, shooting pain if I did a "windmill" motion with the arm, and even rotating my arm to a 90 degree position was uncomfortable.

Thanks Dr Jeff...your videos are extremely helpful.

Why does my right shoulder feel pinched and my bicep getting stretched when I do shoulder movements. Especially pressing movements?
Same. I hope someone answers this
My guess would be weak rotator cuff.

Thank you
Meng Hak I have the same, idk what it is. It doesn't hurt or anything

Great instruction. Wish i had started this while young. Thank you.
I stretch but my left shoulder still kills me when I lift it I message it put a heating pad on it but this really works. Thanks Man
Always great to get shoulder fix videos.
Thanks Jeff. Coming from somebody with chronic shoulder dramas for decades.
Video request: how to fix a hip that clicks when abducted from the midline. My wife has this issue. Thanks
David Westwood I have this too!! Did she figure hers out?
Just wanted to say thanks for your help Jeff , Some 8 months ago i was convinced that shoulder surgery was in my future , My arm would actually go numb at times, besides pain in lifting my right arm over my head , which would get better only to be badly aggravated again , The problem had gotten worse over 3 or 4 years and was getting to a bad stage , I had a combination of shoulder problems , along with carpal tunnel issues as i understand it , In any case my immediate problem was i was afraid to exercise in fear of making things worse .. And this is where you came to the rescue ..
Long story short , many pullups and pushups and around 8 months later .. It's around 90% better , and i'm saying that conservatively because i don't want to jinx it .. My shoulders fixed , my elbows fixed . The exercise and beginning to care has recently pushed me to quit smoking .It all has cascaded into better things .. so Thanks for the help old boy , and keep up the good work.
Next video, push vs pull pain

Actually "trap pain solution" would be useful! My upper traps are sore whole day, even in the morning!

JustCalisthenics This is great information for me because of the years I have been living with essentially calcification tendinitis of the shoulders. I want toe delay if nit eradicate need for surgery while regaining the shoulder flexibility to simply throw a ball with my kids.
Your shoulder tutorials are so helpful. I'm still in physical therapy from rotator cuff repair labrial repair and distal clavicle resection and subacromial decompression all in one surgery 23 weeks ago. Thank you!
Hi Jeff, when I do side laterals,front raises, my left shoulder sounds 'kut' 'kut'...
Is it okay ?
That lat stretch... incredible!
Can you do a video for people with actual injured shoulders? Many athletes actually break their shoulder and it is very difficult to get back just to normal movement. Exercises like these are great, but way too advanced for someone who can't even control their arm yet. I think a lot of people will benefit from a video about very minor movements and it will give them hope to see it is possible that get full use of their shoulder again.
Team Shmo It sounds like you need sessions with a physical therapist who can work with you on your specific condition.
My situation is more aligned with this video. However, my mom broke her shoulder and has been having a tough time getting normal mobility. I know all the movements (like listed in this video) to help, but they are way to advanced. She goes to therapy and has gotten decent results, but I would love to see what movements Jeff says as I can't really find any videos about this on large channels. I am sure it is a problem for many athletes, too, and think a video would do well on this channel.
I advice you to check other Jeff videos for shoulder pain.
The Kingdom's Clashers word bro in my opinion the shoulder is the most complicated joint in the body
Hey, I know you..
Honestly this is the only videos that has helped my shoulder pain. It’s the lats for me that gets my pain the best. Thank you so much my brother. 🤙💪
What about the "arm behind body pain" i cant do dips for example..
Hman Ovesson check his old videos about dips, he showed why it's bad for shoulder's
Don’t do those
