Learning how to build big shoulders in the face of shoulder joint pain can be one of the most challenging things you do in a gym. That is, unless you understand what is actually causing your shoulder pain and find exercises for shoulder pain that won-t aggravate the condition more than it already is. In this video, I show you how to build bigger shoulders with a shoulder injury, without having to stop going to the gym or lifting heavy all together. In order to get started you have to understand that there are many different types of shoulder injuries. Knowing which one you are dealing with is key to programming as specific a work around workout as you can. For instance, in my case, I-m dealing with a torn labrum in my right shoulder. This injury of the shoulder can make it very difficult to press overhead or perform many other shoulder exercises without pain due to the resulting instability that it causes in the joint. When you tear a labrum you are decreasing your stability because of the loss of suction provided by the labrum. This tear allows the head of the humerus to float too freely in the joint allowing it to impinge other structures or be susceptible to dislocation. Over time, your strength of your shoulders will dramatically decrease and your size could slowly fade away. That said, you also have to look to your back training for much of the inflammation of your shoulders that you are feeling when ultimately doing your pressing movements. Exercises like pullups, rows and one armed rows all place a great load on your shoulders with distraction. This is a recipe for disaster when it comes to labrum tears. You don-t have to avoid training your back all together however, not if you make the right exercise substitutions. For instance, you can do underhand chinups instead of pullups to take some of the strain off the shoulder. The biceps can kick in and assist the movement allowing you to pull without the pain. At the end of the day however, the key is realizing that with many injuries, stopping your training all together is rarely the best option. Instead, finding a way to pursue bigger shoulders or any other area while knowing how to work within your limits and around your pain is a key asset. The ATHLEAN-X Training System is a complete program designed by a physical therapist to help you do just that.

-Summary: - Whenever you have an injury, you don't necessarily have to abandon working out.
-Pain in side lateral raises: - When you are in the starting position, holding the dumbell causes a dislocation feeling at the shoulder. To fix this use the cable and do at 3: 20.
-Pain shoulder press: - If you press like 3: 50, the shoulder is in an abnormal position. To fix this, press like 4: 25
-Bench press pain: - Becuase there isnt stability behind your shoulder, it might aggravate shoulder problems. To fix this, do weighted pushups because it helps push the joint into place.
-Back day: - Back day causes alot of shoulder pain especially pullups or rows. To fix this, do chin ups. Also dont do incline dumbell curls because of the stretch.
-Rotator cuff: - Include slot of rotator cuff training.

Guys listen to Jeff and please not just overlook what he has said in this video. I had torn my labrum with a SLAP tear and even though I had trained my rotator cuff and such before the injury, I now know that I should have paid a lot more attention in my early years of training. Only after you got the injury, you understand how luck you are to have healthy body that could perform anything you like to do. So focus on your rotator cuff, scapular stabilization muscles as well as general mobility around those muscles. You will be training for rest of your life so don't screw it up for little bit more weight or last rep with a bad perform for the sake of it. All the best to whose suffering with shoulder injuries like me around the world.

This is very helpful, Jeff. Thank you. Now, I am paying close attention to how you describe the anatomy of the shoulder joint as I just found out that I have some serious injuries. I just got the MRI results and it is not good: Degenerative tearing at the base of the superior labrum which spares the biceps anchor and propagates posteriorly to the level of the equator. The remainder of the posterior labrum is diminutive. Mild intra-articular biceps tendinosis. Yikes. Unfortunately, the physical therapist did not think PT will help me so I am going to have to figure out my own exercises. Will the tears and frays in my shoulder joint eventually heal? You seem to have healed pretty well.

Is there an entire work out designed for those of us who had rotator cuff surgery already? I am very much wanting to get back in shape. I had an injury where some drunk guy jumped off a wall and landed on my shoulder, which was in 2007 and surgery shortly after. Labrum tear, glenoid tear, biceps tear, supraspinatus is calcified I think they said a couple years back. My AC joint was fractured too so they had to remove broken bits of my collar bone at the AC joint. I need an entire program designed around this injury. I got the diet down, which is easy for me to adhere to. I am ready to put in the work. My shoulder feels like its is slipping out of the socket so easily.

As someone who has twice dislocated (and once fractured) my shoulder, I really appreciate the large number of shoulder-focused videos you have that go way beyond the typical rotator-cuff exercises. So often around the internet, I see exercises recommended (pull-up, presses - which incidentally were responsible for dislocation #2 - and others) that make my shoulder ache just thinking about them. It's nice to have a resource that discusses some of the alternatives to those exercises, and yet still places a strong emphasis on the overall wellbeing of the shoulder.

This is the vid I was looking for. In 2015 while working with a heavy bag, I hit the bag with poor shoulder alignment, tore the shoulder labrum. I saw the ortho surgeon, no surgery needed, the ligament snapped back in place but it was still torn. Now scar tissue has formed and I have a slight reduction in range of motion overhead with external rotation of the shoulder. Think of the back against the wall, palms forward reaching overhead, I can not keep the knuckles against the wall. any ideas on increasing the flexibility of the shoulder?

I-m dealing with a rotator cuff tear now. No surgery for me. Had a ruptured distal bicep tendon repaired that required a tendon graft. Most painful friggin thing ever and I hear rotator cuff is worse. All the things Jeff says here are spot on. Made the change after a week off lifting and I got a great training session in and still haven-t gotten any additional aggravation to the rotator cuff. Best advice ever! Thanks, Jeff!

Once again! Really informative. So, Jeff, I've been having a Rotator cuff impingement for almost a year now, and it's really messing up my progress in my training, Other than bicep curls I'm having difficulty with almost all other exercises due to the impingement i felt on the right side of my shoulder (anterior deltoid. Is there a safer version I could perform the bench press with a bar flat or incline. Please help

Wow thank you so much I have had rotator cuff problems since I was a teenager. I was under the impression that my shoulders would always look limp and weak despite working out the rest of my body. This is a life changer for me. Thank you. And what a great guy can I say? Super humble. Peaceful look not those angry dudes who just yell info at you on camera like some infomercial wannabe. MUCH much appreciated! --

You're addressing every issue there is for me.
: L5-S1 Full App Fusion, Subsequent Car Wrecks, Fibromyalgia, costochondritis, shoulder injuries and shoulder symptoms from the former. Kness, pushing 60, had huge weight loss since realising Food Allergies and Food and Strees Triggers, now I'm at a loss. of muscle.
I take what you say seriously because I've seen quick results.
Thank you.
