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. --

I had such an impingement (felt like sciata nerve pain but in the shoulder) that I could not even do a single bench press with an empty bar. After finallly seeing a physiotherapist ($)
she gave me the exact same exercises as shown. The rubber bands were very light (I thought it was a joke) but gradually worked up to heavier bands.
I had quit training for 5 months but did these exercises, especialy the sabre/ lawnmower pulls. After awhile, I returned to regular lifting again (gradually)
and it has been over 1 1/2 year. I still incorporate the above exercise at least 1x week.
Conclusion- The strength had returned and it's unbelievable. Previously the Doctor was suggesting surgery which I am not a fan of getting without trying exercise
or physio. firsthand. Jeff, you're the best for sharing this nugget of information ( eh, Jesse)

My physiotherapist gave me most of these exercises and I saw great improvement in the course of about 4 months. But I still felt like something was missing. I could hit the gym just fine, but there were a few exercises that still gave me a pinch. The past 2 months I have been doing face pulls every time I hit the gym no matter what kind of day of the week it is. At the beginning the pinch was there throughout the whole set, but as I got stronger, I would only feel a little sting for the first few reps, and after that I would get a nice warm feeling. Then I would go home and I could raise my arm normally, even surprising myself in many cases when I was expecting pain. Lately, the sting is almost completely gone and I have raised my facepull lifts greatly and I'm feeling great again!

Just wanted to share my own shoulder pain experience, I had been lifting heavy shoulder press dumbells for a couple years and then suddenly I had alot of pain and had to drop the weight by over 50% due to high pain, the pain wouldnt go away and lasted weeks, so I started looking for solutions, I started doing band exercises like the ones in the video, and also decreased the bench incline by 1 notch (It might of been to steep for my large frame, putting more strain on shoulder) and after doing these things, I noticed a rapid improvement over the next few weeks, and eventually the pain was completely gone, and I came back even stronger reaching new PRs, still no pain 8 months later, and I still do some bands because I believe they really help your shoulders.

Hey Jeff, can you make a video on recovering from a shoulder dislocation and how to train after that? I've been told that strengtening the rotator cuff helps, and have been doing many of your exercises (the ones in this vid + face pulls, of course. You know that such injury is very likely to happen again in young individuals, and since I've started doing rotator cuff work I definitely have felt in less danger when it comes to the position of my shoulder. But I'd love to hear your perspective on that, maybe I could be doing a lot better, and when it comes to a shoulder dislocation, I'll do whatever it takes to not ever go through such a painful and limiting injury again.
Thank you very much in advance, I really hope you get to read this!

Hi there, thanks for the video. I have been experiencing a lot a pain in my shoulder for about a month. I am a carpenter so unfortunately can-t completely rest it. I believe it to be a rotator tear as I-ve had surgery on my other shoulder for impingement and it doesn-t feel the same. I am however experiencing an impinged movement.
As well as the exercises you have described, some say hanging from a pull up bar helps to open up the gap. What are your thoughts?
I have been carrying out exercises for a tear and feel that I get a lot more movement immediately after but this quickly returns to pain and discomfort once rested.
Can you advise please?

Thought Id straight up torn something off today. Been having this sensation, albiet WAY less intrusive, for a few months now, on and off, workouts have been going fine, just avoiding lifts that hurt it, but today, almost went to AE, -lol- - Arm day, no issues, about 30 mins to an hour later, oh the pain, especially when moving my arm across the body as shown at 1: 45. Could not believe bicep workout would wreck my -shoulder-, chest not an issue (incline press pinches a little) back no issue. Will most def be implimenting all this. Edit: these all look great - cant do sword raises movement freely with that arm right now without snapping and pain: (

My question is not related to this particular video. Could you please do a video for men and women who have had stent surgery for a heart attack. Through out my life I have always done my sport, but had a heart attack due to stress 3 weeks ago. I've been stented and I have started my road work. I am not ready for lifting weights atm, but I am more interested in a isotonic exercise routine with elastic belts and my own body weight. Really need help in lower back and hamstrings and buttocks. There are plenty of us out there who have had mild heart attacks but very few video's to help us get our strength back sensibly. Thanks for your time

An orthopedist x-rayed my shoulder and couldn't find any calcification or injury.
So he recommended the exercise from your video. Unfortunately, I look relatively athletic, so doctors never really show you the exercise because they think you already know it.
So I did the exercise like that and the next day I had the worst shoulder pain and now I couldn't lie on my side for weeks.
Now I have a few days let me hang, which has already taken some pressure and pain from the shoulder.
It's really hard to find an orthopedic surgeon who really has a clue about the subject, even though that's really their area of expertise and

I have a question, Jeff- I just began doing these today. I-ve had shoulder pain for many years and it-s been hard to bench heavy because of it. Would you recommend not performing other exercises like the bench that may cause shoulder pain while doing this PT? If one should not, or should go light, how long would you say to wait after starting this to try to push the envelope on the bench and other heavier exercises- PS it also causes me discomfort in my right shoulder when performing back squats.
