Do This for -Stiff- Shoulders (INSTANT RELIEF)
video description
One day I found a qualified sports physio from Iceland. Why I mentioned Iceland because it-s a country with the population of only 340k people and how many international sports do they play, it-s amazing.
He evaluated me using sensors on my shoulder, lats, chest, etc and came out with the finding that my lats are stiff and don-t get activated in time when I raise my arm in front of the body or over the head. He said that most of people have this issue but they keep trying to fix their shoulders.
He suggested me to stretch and foam roll my lats before any workout especially chest and shoulders. Initially I started doing the stretch and foam roll my lats for few weeks that fixed my shoulder pain completely.
He also told that once ur lats are activated before workout, ur lifting gains will be increased substantially.
So Jeff, need a video how to activate or loosen the lats.

I typically perform a series of arm circles that I think works pretty well. Not little-old-lady-doing-pilates arm circles, but reaching far forward, scooping down, back, and then way up and back-to-the-beginning arm circles (and then reverse direction. Both arms together and then one at a time. I feel like it does a pretty good job when you focus on that range of motion and warming up those muscles. But if anyone has any critiques on this, I'd love to hear it!
I'll need to try this, too. A new variation for my (albeit limited) shoulder warm-up arsenal.
Very detailed and informative as always!

Jeff. Could you do a video on working the different muscles of the glutes, hamstrings, and quads. The back, pec, shoulder, tricep, and bicep videos with the muscle markers are absolutely killer. You obviously can't do muscle markers for the glutes but something concerning the maximus, minimus, and medius. the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris. and rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medialis, and intermedius. I want to be able to hit EVERY muscle and I don't trust any trainers more to put out safe, effective information. Thanks!

Seems like an excellent exercise for shoulder immobility! If I try to do wall slides, my left wristle is not permanent on the wall. Also it is very hard to do this movement. I think that this exercise can help. Sometimes I also have the sensation of snapping in the left shoulder. In the past I was suffering through biceps tendonitis and afterwards I think it was a kind of impingement. The pain was caused due to negative bench press but also muscle ups were the pain trigger. Would you in general recommend to avoid negative bench press?

Can I do this if I had a perthes lesion after dislocating my shoulder? It's been almost a year of physical therapy, and I'm still not able to do an external rotation with my shoulder so my physiotherapist asked me to do an MRI and it turns out that I have a partial tear in my supraspinatus muscle tendon with tendonitis in other tendons in addition to a -suspicion of perthes lesion- although it's the first time I dislicate my shoulder. My doctor had adviced me not to do any external rotation movement. What do you advice me to do?

Yet another piece of perfectly timed help. I'm a retired personal trainer with shoulder impingement. It's a recurring issue from years of leaning over a drafting table, in my main career as an Engineer. I've been using all the various techniques we used over the years, from Scaps to all the various Abduction moves. This particular method is close to the Serratus Wall Slides I've used, but I like the outward rotation that your method includes. Will definitely give it a try when I head to the gym in a couple hours. Thanks Again!

Your scapula videos have opened my eyes, man! I've had nagging shoulder, upper back, and neck problems for years that kept me from lifting consistently. Just by working on fixing my scapular winging and doing smarter lifts, I feel (and look) better than I have in years. My left scap is fine now, the right one still wings a bit, but I'm confident that if I keep doing what I'm doing it will continue to improve as well. Thanks!

Dear Jeff, your videos are helping me so much! I'm a 52 year old male that has beat up my body physically due to a military and L. E. career. I'm still getting after it ( in better shape than most of the baby bulls that I work with) despite my injuries. Without your videos it would be an uphill battle. Keep up the good work and thank you for what you do. Knowledge is power. Semper Fidelis Jeff, respectfully Artorious M.

Thank you thank you! It works instantly you have showed some other shoulder pain vids I've been trying them with minimal results. This one game changer. You the man! Thanks.
I forgot to mention I have 7 herniated disc's 4 in my cervical 1 in my thoracic and 2 in my lumbar with 40% probability that surgery will help me. The last 12 years of my life are misery. That made my shoulder feel comparatively great.

Great video. How do you increase full shoulder motion? Is it exactly the same as this? Would you lean forwards at full extension in this exercise?
Eg. I can raise my arms near vertical, but i can't push my arms back. So whilst doing a shoulder press i can't complete the full motion (bar going behind the head at full extension, even though i want to.
