3 Must Try Rotator Cuff Exercises
🔑Rotator cuff exercises are much more than basic band rotations. They should be challenging and help build overall strength in multiple planes of motion around the shoulder. —— ➡️Many people end up neglecting shoulder warmups and accessory work because the standard rotator cuff exercises you see aren’t optimized for what they need. ---- ✅If you need an upgrade to your rotator cuff exercises, and need to improve your shoulder stability… these are great ones to try! —— 📢Find this helpful?

Shoulder pain with front raises?
😬Do you have pain in your shoulder doing front (or side) dumbbell raises? I want to show you some things to try today to improve on this. —— ➡️Even though most people use relatively light weights when doing front or lateral raises, the fact that the weight is being lifted far from your shoulder joint (long lever arm) it feel like more weight to your shoulder muscles. ---- 🎯I find that if you have impaired movement mechanics around the scapula and rotator cuff, this exercise can become painful. —— ✅The 3 exercises I’m showing today are things you can do to improve your shoulder strength and movement patterns so you can get back to dumbbell raises again pain free! 📢Find this helpful?

🔥Rotator Cuff Strength!🔥 (try all 3!...)
🙋🏽‍♂️First you tweak your shoulder working out. You rest it a few days and wait for the pain to go away. You jump back in where you left off and feel the pain come back a few weeks later. Rinse and repeat. ➡️So many people just come to the conclusion that either their workouts are bad for their bodies, or they push through and accept pain as a part of the process. 🙌🏽The rest and re-injure cycle isn't your only option! If you hurt your shoulder working out, give 100% to figuring out a likely cause, and following a clear plan to help you get back! 💡The biggest pitfall in most people's shoulder rehab is not knowing when and how to progress the exercises. 🏋️If you are training in overhead positions, light band exercises with your arms by your side WON'T prepare you for that.

💥Does your Shoulder Blade Wing Out?💥
🎯Before we talk exercises, I think it’s important to discuss what scapular winging is, and how to think about it. — 🔑It’s not a diagnosis in itself. It’s an objective finding that may indicate a need for more strength and stability around the shoulder. — ➡️This is similar to anterior pelvic tilt or rounded shoulders. None are actually pathologies, just a positioning or movement tendency that may point to other issues. — 💪🏽With that being said... here are some ways you can improve how stable your shoulder is! — 🎯The focus on many of these is the Serratus Anterior as well as the mid and lower traps. All important in optimizing shoulder blade movement! — 📢Like this? Please share it for anyone else it might help!

💡How to Structure Your Rotator Cuff Training!
🔑Most people know how important the 4 muscles of the Rotator Cuff are to shoulder health. —- ✅Today’s video outlines 4 main categories and progressions to use: ➡️Arms by the side as first because this is easiest, and a great starting point. Most classic RTC exercises fit here. ➡️Step 2 shows an exercise called resisted scaption. This can be modified to only lift as high as you can control/tolerate. Focus on the back of the shoulders here! ➡️Step 3 demos a great closed chain exercise, meaning you are supporting your body weight on your hands. For some these can be tolerated earlier than step 2 but the exercise shown is more difficult ➡️Step 4 is a modified overhead press that has a bias towards engaging the rotator cuff with the weight being upside down.
