Banded shoulder exercises
——
Weakness in the shoulder is a potential reason why someone has pain. Getting the shoulder stronger in addition to restoring mobility is usually a good place to start in rehab. I like utilizing bands as they’re effective in challenging the shoulder and easy for patients to due at home. These types of bands are relatively cheap and can also be used to hip exercises.
——
Here are a few examples of banded shoulder exercises:
1️⃣ Shoulder reaches - one side if performing an iso hold while the other reaches against the band.
2️⃣ ER iso with scap retraction and protraction - the external rotators are holding the band isometrically while working on scapula retraction and protraction.
3️⃣ Banded ER - can’t forget about actively working the external rotators which are crucial for overall shoulder health.

If you follow a training program exactly to a T, you’ve probably done something wrong - paraphrasing @deweynielsen .
This is why we assess and reassess. Variables change on a day to day basis: how much stress is already on your system, and how well have you recovered? OR in today’s case, we had planned to expand range of motion for @sheenabalilo in both her shoulder external rotation and shoulder flexion. However, when bringing her to her end range to train, I realized she had a lot more than when we started training this specifically a few weeks ago. (If you scroll back in my feed, you’ll find the original post).
.
Instead of moving forward anyway, we re-assessed what her current capacity is, and discovered the above. Change of game plan: No need to further expand her ROM because she now has “enough” for healthy shoulders and her lifestyle, instead let’s train the regressive side to further solidify this new range she has.
.
As she continues to improve capacity, her training will also continue to change.
.
Moral of the story: Assess. Don’t guess. Then train accordingly.

TRY THIS ONE-TWO PUNCH BEFORE YOUR NEXT BENCH PRESS SESSION!
.
☝FOAM ROLLER FLOOR SLIDES (w/ hand weights)
.
• Lay vertical along a foam roller
• Take a big breathe - upon exhale flatten lumbar spine on foam roller & lock your ribs down
• Make a “double-chin”
• Grab hand weights (or 2.5lb plates) & place your arms in a “W” position
GOAL = Forearms & back of your wrists should be in contact w/ floor
• Slowly press arms overhead & then lower them by driving elbows down towards rib cage (DON’T lose spine/rib position)
• Repeat for 5-6 slow, controlled reps
.
✌SINGLE ARM EXTERNAL ROTATION OVERHEAD PRESS w/ band
.
• Secure a light band around a rack & loop the opposite end around your fingers
• Maintain neutral posture w/ ribs locked down & glutes “on”
• Slowly press overhead in a “Y” pattern & then lower your arm by driving your elbow towards your rib cage
• Try and keep your ELBOW IN FRONT OF YOUR WRIST throughout the set!
• Perform 8-10 reps per arm
.
PROGRAMMING NOTE:
Perform 2-3 supersets of these 2 movements prior to your next bench press session.
.
You should notice improved positioning/set-up on the bench & less pain when pressing!
.
Better setup + less pain = GAINZ!

SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT
—
Subacromial impingement syndrome is a diagnosis often given to individuals with the impression that the soft tissue structures in the shoulder are being pinched between the bones secondary to a loss in strength, flexibility, or neuromuscular control. However, several revelations in the research over the years have made us rethink our understanding of this diagnosis.
—
1. Individuals with symptoms may be identified as having deficits in strength, flexibility, or motor control that are causing subacromial impingement. However, these same changes may be found in asymptomatic people and cannot reliably predict who is going to develop issues. Therefore, the “chicken or egg” situation arises. Perhaps pain and various changes are correlated in certain people, but we cannot determine causality.
—
2. Bony anatomy dictates function in some capacity for everyone, but a particular shape of your acromion does not mean you are destined for shoulder pain and disability. Additionally, correcting for these bony “abnormalities” through surgery does not necessarily lead to better outcomes.
—
3. Narrowing of the subacromial space is normal during shoulder elevation. However, some people develop sensitivity of the underlying structures. Contributors may include changes in workload, stress, sleep, and a host of other factors.
—
Therefore, simply classifying individuals as having shoulder pain may be more appropriate as it limits misinformation and minimizes the negative connotation associated with the diagnosis of subacromial impingement syndrome.
—
A sufficient passage of time will possibly lead to a resolution of symptoms as we are generally good at modifying aggravating activities as needed. For example, we will not purposely sleep on a painful shoulder.
—
If you want to tailor a program to suit your needs, pick exercises that focus on your individual deficits that help you return to your meaningful activities. The regimen may be aimed at improving strength, range of motion, or a combination of the two.
Here’s a good one for you!
And don’t try to be a hero and start with too much weight or resistance like Jerica did on her first one!
So grab a light kettle bell and a medium resistance band and here's what you do:
1. Wrap the band around the handle of the kettle bell.
2. Stand perpendicular to the band holding the kettle bell in front of the shoulder.
3. Push the kettle bell straight up, holding against the force of the band.
4. Return to the starting position and repeat, 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
Here’s a breakdown of proper facepull technique. -
If you don’t know, let me learn you real quick: -
Facepulls have an crap ton of benefits... -
Improved posture -
Shoulder health -
A more well rounded physique, etc. -
Plus they’re super low stress. -
So if you aren’t hitting facepulls or some other form of rear delt training multiple times a week, get on it! -
Let me walk you through each clip in the video and why it is right or wrong. -
Clip 1: My elbows (humerus) rise above parallel. A lot of people do this in an attempt to feel the muscle more. But it can cause shoulder impingement which is very counterproductive since facepulls should improve shoulder health. -
Clip 2: This should be obvious. None of your training should look like this. But I see it all the time so here ya go. -
Clip 3: My shoulders are not externally rotated. How do I achieve this.... -
Clip 4: I changed my grip! Notice how my thumbs are up now. This allows me to achieve external rotation and train my rotator cuffs. A group of muscles that are criminally untrained in most people. My hands come up to my ears but my elbows stay just below parallel to avoid impingement. The motion is slow and controlled. -
And that’s a facepull! -
Know someone who sucks at facepulls? tag them for me! much appreciated. :)

Do you ever train your biceps and triceps out of the stretch position? Probably not. But you should. It’s beneficial for muscle health, joint health & resilience as well as aesthetics obviously
.
1️⃣ DB overhead tricep extensions.
.
If you don’t have the prerequisite overhead mobility to perform this exercise, opt for incline tricep extensions instead.
✔️Sit upright on a bench with a dumbbell overhead.
✔️Fully stretch the triceps by lowering the dumbbell and fully bending the elbow.
✔️Lock it out overhead and repeat.
✔️Tempo: controlled reps. 2-3 seconds on the negative.
.
2️⃣ Incline bicep curl.
.
✔️Sit on an incline bench which places the elbows behind the body and therefore the biceps on stretch.
✔️Palms open.
✔️Keep the elbows pinned as you perform curls.
✔️ Pause In the contracted position for a split second and fully lock the elbow as you lower the dumbbells.
.
Sets / Reps.
.
I would recommend you perform with a relatively light weight for 10-12 reps. Slow, controlled tempo. Arms respond well to higher times under tension and it prevents you from stressing the joints.
