The bench press is one of the best chest builders and biggest sources of shoulder pain. In fact, bench press pain can prevent many people from doing the exercise and can make it hard to do all other upper body exercises if the pain gets bad enough. In this video, I show you a quick drill you can do before your bench press that will help to dramatically decrease your shoulder pain. The first thing you have to do is take a band and drape it over a pullup bar while setting up a bench beneath it. Take your hands and turn your pinkies inward while your thumbs are pointing outward. This will externally rotate your shoulders and help to engage the scapular stabilizers that are needed to safely perform the bench press. Complete 20 reps from this position and make sure to squeeze your shoulder blades down and back throughout each one. Don-t speed through these repetitions as it is important that you perform them properly. This movement will help you to keep your shoulders in the right position to maximize the space in your shoulder joint. If you suffer from impingement, you will likely feel pinching in either the supraspinatus tendon or the biceps tendon while you do the bench press or any other overhead pressing exercise for that matter. The joint space needs to be increased in order to allow for the tendons and structures to have more room to operate. To make sure this happens, you want to nueromuscularly turn on the muscles that are likely very dormant in most people watching this. Finish your underhanded 20 reps and move immediately into your overhand reps. Each row is done with the intent of keeping those shoulder blades pulled back and down. This should be done from your normal bench press grip width. I personally like to bench from a slightly narrower position to help include the horizontal adduction needed to maximally activate the pecs. As soon as you are done with the forty reps, go grab your dumbbells and perform your regular bench press. Doesn-t matter if you are doing incline bench or flat bench press. If you had shoulder pain before doing this, much if not all of it should be temporarily removed. This will allow you to bench and get the benefits of it without the pain. For a more long term fix, you-ll have to include some dedicated rotator cuff work and scapular stabilizer work into your workouts. The ATHLEAN-X Training System found at is one of the easiest ways to do this. With the entire program created by a professional sports physical therapist, you have access to the top level training tips and strategies that will get you pro caliber results in record time

Jeff, first of all I'd like to thank you for these videos that you're making, they've helped me a lot and I've made an incredible amount of progress since I've been listening to your advice. Now, to cut things short i have a question that needs your expert opinion. I have a blood clot in my leg, it's located right behind my left knee, my doctor said i shouldn't do any sort of exercise so i stopped going to the gym. My questions are the following: should i be working our/if yes what type of exercise should i do? ; will i lose my muscle mass in 2-3 weeks? ; what type of cardio am i aloud to do i general(they've told me i cant do HIIT anymore); can i do weighted squats and deadlifts after i recover? Jeff, i would really appreciate if you would answer me somehow because i don't think my doctor took the time to do a little bit of research when it comes to weightlifting, she just said -don't do anything- and not until i recover, she meant in general.

I have only one question. I haven't found anyone that answers my two questions. I am a beginner how much a week and how long should I workout? 2 or 3 times a week or more? 1 or 2 hours a a day? And my second question is I exercised probably 4 or 5 months ago with push ups and crunches. Now when I just started back I was sore for probably 1 and half days. Now when I workout Its only sore for an hour. Does this mean I was more fit than I thought, or does it mean Im not doing the something right I can definitely feel the burn but it goes away after an hour? Also I am 14 years old but Im wanting to get in shape and get a little healthier. I have a little bit of belly fat. Im not trying to get ripped and huge but just toned with a little muscle pushing out can anyone please answer my two questions? sorry for the long writing but I just want to make sure people understand what im wanting. Thanks: )

Please do a video of when (before, immediately after, later that day/week, etc) to stretch and what to stretch (Only the muscles worked, full body, etc. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any guidance in Athlean X-2 as far as stretching goes. Doing workout videos (P90X series, Body Beast, Insanity series) has stretches before (P90X, during (Insanity, and after the workouts (All 3. BTW, it seems like stretching a muscles after a hard workout that used that muscle is almost pointless. The muscle is so pumped with bloood a lot of the times that the stretch feels minimal vs doing the stretch later that day or another day.

Hi, I'm very interested in purchasing the AX-1. I've always stayed in shape with year around soccer but never really worked out before. The most trouble i have is finding a program that will tell you what workouts to do on what days that is effective. I guess what i am saying is that I feel i would work out under a set plan or routine. Is that how the AX-1 works? sorry if the wording of this is awkward lol

As a man with a slightly torn right labrum, it's encouraging to see you get such great physical results with a torn labrum as well. There is not a lot of information on how to work out with this issue on the web other than just -don't work out. - At 48 years old, I really can't go get surgery. I wish you'd speak more about it! How do you deal with this issue in your day to day activities?

Hey Jeff, can you show me how i can get my arms to be equally as big? Right now my left arm is bigger than m right and its pretty annoying i am right handed and i know that the left arm is bigger because it's much more difficult for that arm to do the exercises, and i've been told to do more reps on the right but it doesnt seem to help me! #HelpMeJeff

Hey Jeff! I started working doing deliveries on my bike and I've been cycling 30-60km each day, I don't find it difficult but I know my muscles are struggling to recover from it on time. It would be awesome if you can make a video giving some advice on muscle recovery for the ones with high activity levels (biking, construction workers, etc.

I have a torn labrum on my right shoulder as well, and working out with it is a nightmare. Thanks for this I wish you would do a video on that injury because a lot of ppl probably have the condition but are not aware. Also, I would love some tips on working out with it because getting it repaired is not an option right now.

So this video addresses shoulder pain during bench press, but I'm needing some help with elbow pain. Whenever I do bench press in the past three weeks I get pain at the top of the elbow (bottom of tricep) from over training, and I was wondering if you had anything that could make it feel better and get me back in the gym.

When I first started going gym i used to feel this acidy pain and the next day i was sore as hell. These days I don't feel anything. I've tried using heavy weight, mores reps, more sets and different exercises. Is this normal or does it mean i'm not getting a good workout?
Edit: does lifting stunt your growth (im 15)
