I did this exercise just once and test my usual deltroid exercise (the culprit of why I'm in pain right now.
and the clicking worsen. it much more louder now that before and it scares the hell out of me. (it only happens on my right, my left is completely fine)
I'll develop my muscle on my back (for the rotator cuff) first before going back to my deltroid.
I'll trust you on this one. I hope it will went ok for me.
note:
1. I have a past accident (when I was a kid) where I run over to an idiot who opens their car door without looking and my right shoulder got hit hard. (didn't go to a doctor it just heal by itself)
2. I got a boxer's fracture 3yrs ago on my right pinky finger. (from falling on a bike running 38kph on a downhill)
it was not that bad (look bad) so I didn't go to a doctor. it took me 2 months to heal completely. on that 2 month I did DIY rehabilitation on stretching and everything. (until I can complete regain the movement of my pinky finger and my arm supination and pronation)
This is why I'm scared that the clicking sound on my right shoulder might have something to do with past incident in my life. (I'm afraid it might have been healed badly maybe some tendons healed in a tight state or something.

When I first started weightlifting in the 1990s I never knew about the mysteries of the rotator cuff. I only started exercising these when I overheard an instructor talking about them about six years ago at the gym. Around then I visited a physiotherapist and he thought I had frozen shoulder. Turned out to be Osteoarthritis of the right shoulder and now to a lesser extent to the left. This means I can never do a shoulder press with correct form ever again unless there is a miracle cure. Although arthritic conditions run in the family if I new back then what I know now perhaps I could have prevented this.

I've been experiencing shoulder pain since an accident during the bench press (don't press with a delhi-belly) my physio diagnosed a slight injury to my supraspinatus. Nothing too bad because I still have great shoulder mobility, thankfully. After some googling I noticed that my training plan includes no exterior motion of my shoulder. That explains the slight discomfort in my shoulder the past few months and why I've hit a brick wall with improving my bench. Jeff your videos do a fantastic job of explaining the science behind exercise. Now I understand what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. Thanks.

at the age of 14 I fell, constantly stiff neck, I always thought my neck was just a problem or was broken, everyday horrible pain, after visits to different fysiotherapist, I couldnt find the answer they just said -sit up right-. After hearing this and trying this out, I just accepted that my body is just broken. now at 20 I had enough of this pain, now or never and visited a fysiotherapist, that said it isnt the neck. it is your shoulder area, now I realise that it is indeed the rotational cuff but never would find it

Honestly thank you so much for making this video. I have been working out consistantly for the past 3 years and am starting to have shoulder issues and pain in my bicep that I assume is linked to my shoulder. I have followed several different programs and have had varying success. You are so right when you say none of these programs address the external rotation of the shoulder. Again much appreciated.

I was freaking out about my shoulder I would have point tenderness in the front of my shoulder with the Hawkins test and then I realized I rarely focus on the rotator cuff, even just the wall exercise greatly reduced the tenderness. I'm also working on maintaining good posture and to keep my shoulders back. Plus laying off internal rotation exercises for now. Thanks a lot!

Jeff knew about this in 2014. I went to 3 doctors about my shoulder impingement (which I didn-t know at the time) between 2018-2019. I literally had to diagnose and rehab myself by watching Jeff-s videos, and now my shoulders feel so much better that I can actually lift again. Jeff is a true physiological expert. Thank you, Jeff.

10 years ago I had a bad fall where I landed on my shoulder. That shoulder would pop out n in so I learned not to use it. Now I'm struggling with pain on the same shoulder, neck, mid back and lower back. After watching this vid iv learned a lot. Gonna call my doc and explain which muscles are killing me. Thanks brother -

Most important lesson I-ve learned in terms of weightlifting. I watched this video after having shoulder pain and started working my rotator cuffs. Went from 195 bench press to 215 in two weeks. I started breaking PRs easily directly after working my rotator cuffs

I got immediate relief in my shoulder by just doing the internal and external stretches and the funny thing is I went to physical therapy and chiropractor none of them had me to do these exercises and I had the soreness for the last 5 years
