Top 3 Rotator Cuff Exercise Mistakes (FIX YOUR SHOULDER PAIN)

t mean that they get them right. First, when performing any band or dumbbell external rotation exercise for your shoulder, you have to be sure to keep your elbow and upper arm tucked closely to your side throughout. Very commonly, people tend to let their elbow drift away from their body as they complete the external rotation range of motion. This activates the lateral deltoid which quickly tends to dominate the movement. The problem with this is that an overactive delt is a major contributor to the imbalance that already exists between it and the rotator cuff muscles on that arm. Allowing the deltoid to dominate the strength balance will lead to a migration of the humeral head upwards as you raise your arm overhead (as in a shoulder press. To keep the humerus centrally located in the glenoid fossa you need to have adequate strength of the rotator cuff. You will do this only if you don-t allow it to be overshadowed when doing isolated external rotation rotator cuff exercises. The second mistake is performing your rotator cuff exercises with a rounded shoulder. Round shoulders come from poor posture. Strengthening your rotator cuff muscles with poor posture is only reinforcing the issue you have already. To do this correctly, you have to align your shoulders back and down and then perform your rotator cuff exercises. Continuing on this point and leading into the third mistake, control of your shoulder blade will help dramatically. To position your shoulder blades -in your back pocket-, you-ll need to have adequate strength of both your serratus anterior and lower traps muscles. In the video, I show you two exercises you can do to strengthen these indirect shoulder muscles using as little as your own bodyweight. The bottom line is, in order to have a fully functional shoulder without shoulder pain you need to strengthen your shoulder completely. This means making sure your rotator cuffs are strong. If you are looking for a workout program that can help you with your shoulder pain while allowing you to build much bigger shoulders, chest and arms-be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System

My shoulder problem was caused by massive trauma to my body but it was the only part of my body that wasn't injured I developed a wing scapular and a frozen shoulder from being in hospital but 24 hours a day for 4 months, but because of your exercises on your shoulder and other body well all body actually. but from all your techniques I have improved my shoulder and other parts of my body week by week month by month from not being able to scratch my back to only lift Halfway up not being able to scratch or wash my left shoulder, I tried private physio through my injury solicitor who was an absolute waste of time. But because of your exercises I have improved my frozen shoulder and winged scapular 80% better I lost four stone in the muscle mass from my body I follow you and strictly follow your exercises every day in the gym and I've got to say Your exercises are the ones that have helped me in my continued recovery. So thank you. --

Hi Jeff, I found your videos and they are the best. I'm 59 and still working out 3 to4 days a week. I just had a shoulder injury. It seems like rotator but I have no issues raising my arm. The pain is inside my shoulder blade and there is a grinding when I move my arm back and forth. When I'm sitting driving its unbearable but when I walk it isn't bad. My Chiropractor has left me wondering if he knows what he is doing as a quick massage and neck crack did nothing to help. He said I had a knotted superspanatious(spelt wrong) I know its probably rotator as I am weak doing a push up with my left arm. Any idea what I can do to help this issue. Much appreciate your videos. My wife and I watch your videos all the time as we feel you are the best we have ever seen. Thank You!

1. Tuck elbow to side of body
2. Keep shoulder blades retracted and don-t let shoulders round forward
3. Position of shoulder blade. 2 muscles help position shoulder blade. Serratus anterior and lower trap. Train the 2 muscles. Serratus Anterior Exercise - plank plus (elbows in, palms up, hands and forearms out a little. Push body away from arms, which protracts shoulder blades)
Lower trap exercise - lower Half of Pullups. (Pull up into start of pull up, then dead hang. )

Hey! I have bicep tendonitis but I can do overhead presses without any pain or movement restriction. Should I continue doing it? I only experience pain in lateral and front raises, and sometimes in bench press. -
I just started working out and don't want to stop now. I was thinking that I should continue with overhead presses since I have no pain in these movement. So, what do you think?

Im getting ATHLEANX program for my 40th birthday and i cant wait. 2months left. I have been suffering with the descibed shoulder pain in this video for longer than i can remember. I always thought its just that im getting older and im asking too much of my shoulder joints during my workouts. So im going to use Jeffs method to correct this issue.

Iva had the left supraspinatus torn in Jiujitsu and a torn right labrum playing tug of war with my dog still in my sling 3 weeks after surgery. Outside of physical therapy and the track back to feeling solid again, this guy's videos have helped me better than anyone else. At one point My arms were basically classified as temporarily crippled.

Jeff, no disrespect but I've watched your videos for a long time and although you have a great physique, you don't seem to get any bigger. With all the training, how come you don't grow? Not trying to be mean. I'd love to have your physique, it's just an observation.

Hii I'm 24. its been a weak I'm suffering from rotator cuff injury. I'm unable to sleep or workout. I've been in terrible pain lately. Never experienced something this bad. Will these exercises work or will I make it worse. I'm tensed and scared at the same time
reply

Jeff. extreme gratitude for your excellence and invaluable guidance. I'm 55 and impingement hampering my progress. You've set me on the path to healing and continued progress, and I'm seeing improvement already after a very short time. Best wishes to you brother.
