Top 3 Rotator Cuff Exercise Mistakes (FIX YOUR SHOULDER PAIN!)

Fix your shoulder pain by working out like an athlete here
athleanx.com/x/...
The rotator cuff muscles are the most overlooked and misunderstood shoulder muscles and are usually ignored in most workout programs. When you realize that these small muscles are the only ones you have to counteract the overwhelming imbalance established by the more attention getting chest, back, and arms, you start to see their importance.
In this video, I show you the top 3 biggest rotator cuff exercise mistakes and how to fix them. You see, even when people do buy into the concept of incorporating these exercises into their workout programs it doesn’t mean that they get them right.
First, when performing any band or dumbbell external rotation exercise for your shoulder, you have to be sure to keep your elbow and upper arm tucked closely to your side throughout. Very commonly, people tend to let their elbow drift away from their body as they complete the external rotation range of motion. This activates the lateral deltoid which quickly tends to dominate the movement. The problem with this is that an overactive delt is a major contributor to the imbalance that already exists between it and the rotator cuff muscles on that arm.
Allowing the deltoid to dominate the strength balance will lead to a migration of the humeral head upwards as you raise your arm overhead (as in a shoulder press). To keep the humerus centrally located in the glenoid fossa you need to have adequate strength of the rotator cuff. You will do this only if you don’t allow it to be overshadowed when doing isolated external rotation rotator cuff exercises.
The second mistake is performing your rotator cuff exercises with a rounded shoulder. Round shoulders come from poor posture. Strengthening your rotator cuff muscles with poor posture is only reinforcing the issue you have already. To do this correctly, you have to align your shoulders back and down and then perform your rotator cuff exercises.
Continuing on this point and leading into the third mistake, control of your shoulder blade will help dramatically. To position your shoulder blades “in your back pocket”, you’ll need to have adequate strength of both your serratus anterior and lower traps muscles. In the video, I show you two exercises you can do to strengthen these indirect shoulder muscles using as little as your own bodyweight.
The bottom line is, in order to have a fully functional shoulder without shoulder pain you need to strengthen your shoulder completely. This means making sure your rotator cuffs are strong. If you are looking for a workout program that can help you with your shoulder pain while allowing you to build much bigger shoulders, chest and arms…be sure to head to athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System.

I've been training weights since I was 16 and now I'm 50. I recently switched my program to include many AthleanX elements into my current routines. I am now gaining in areas I previously couldn't and most recent what I thought was a bicep issue turns out to be due to a lack of rotator cuff exercises. Jeff deserves success for the approach he takes and time to explain how the body works under stress. Watch as many as you can you will gain knowledge and physique

[@improvementTime10.3.17]

1:20 Point 1 towel will drop on floor = tells you youre veering off exercise ==================== Point 2 2:25) POsition of upper body during rotator exercises 3:05) Hunched in posture = range of motion blocked like raised upward hits acromion ======================== Point 3 3:36) Know importance of shoulder blade 4:05) 2 muscles will allow ideal shoulder blade position( to be downward in your back pocket ) 1. Serratus Anterioir (Superhero muscles) 2. Lower Trap 4:20) Plank Plus exercises Serratus Anterior will be holding the scapula to your rib cage = holding down to your rib cage 5:03) Next is to get the rotation of the scapula downward

[@ChibiChubbyRobo]

1. Tuck elbow to side of body 2. Keep shoulder blades retracted and don’t let shoulders round forward 3. Position of shoulder blade. 2 muscles help position shoulder blade. Serratus anterior and lower trap. Train the 2 muscles. Serratus Anterior Exercise - plank plus (elbows in, palms up, hands and forearms out a little. Push body away from arms, which protracts shoulder blades.) Lower trap exercise - lower Half of Pullups. (Pull up into start of pull up, then dead hang. )

I recently read a book from a guy who says lifting heavy is key. I've never lifted heavy because my body responded well to light weight. Shorter story, I went ahead and tried the recommendations in that book and ended up hurting my shoulder. I was pissed, but quickly moved on from the anger and regret.

Is it a good idea to keep doing push-ups when you’re feeling a little pain in shoulder.?

[@raksrana2083]

If id known how important to train the rotator cuff i might of not injured my shoulder , while benching . Resulting in many months of x ray, sonar and m.r.i , showing a partial thickness tear on the infraspi... tendon. After 2 years of severe pain, i can lift again, no thanks to n.h.s / private/ therapists, chiros, all giving a variety of useless answers and a lot of cash. Long rest is not the answer cause this progressed to tendonitis. Now after completing a wide range of rotator work,it might of strengthen it, but not dampen the pain , i found a name to my condition and pain relief exercises that actually worked..I cant believe non of the therapists came close and if they did diagnose it early my shoulder could of healed, not to mention sleepless nights of pain and not being able to lean on that side.So people take note, complete your rotator work before your workout or you could end up down this path of hell.

[@_Only_Zuul]

i have been down that same path of hell with chronic shoulder, neck and upper back pain, all infa my, supra and subscap have tears in them. lost all gains, can't lift anymore and then i went right into the depths of it with a bad case of chronic fatigue that has lasted over 2 years. i've lost count now how many therapists i've been to that have no idea what they are doing. best wishes to you rakesh.

[@FranklyTheSeeker1982]

Your condition doesn't happen to be/was SubAcromion-Syndrome by chance (insertional tendinopathy just below the cranial/lateral border of the Scapula/ShoulderBlade? Edit ~2h later: If Tendinopathy is really bad, i can actually cause partial or even complete rupture of tendons, in the medium-strong version it shows degenerative signs (fibrose, collagen type3 instead of collagen type1 etc)

[@raksrana2083]

***** If it will help , in my case the the tear had kinda healed but left scarring , this is called tendonosis. It prevents a healthy tendon from gaining nutrients, blood etc, forming a weaker tendon.It could not of been tendonitis because thats an inflamed tendon and goes away with rest, mine didnt. The ANSWER is concentrate on the negative downwards part of the weight and not the contraction. just use machine, so u can concentrate on the bad shoulder and help it up with both hands. I felt pain reduction with 1 set, the first day and some hope at last. I hope this helps anyone, cause its taken me years to get here.

Your description of functional anatomy is the best I have ever heard. I am an emergency physician and I've seen 4 orthopedists and 2 physical therapists over the last 8 years as I've dealt with a winging scapula from a long thoracic nerve palsy. Because of my serratus weakness I had repeated episodes of rotator cuff tendonitis and repeated corticosteroid injections. Of course I eventually tore my supraspinatus and had a rotator cuff repair in the fall. I've achieved good range of motion now but I need to work on strengthening. What makes your instructional video stand out among all of the other information I've heard is how you stress scapular stabilization. I can't wait to try your plank exercise. More than most people I appreciate how important it is to consider think about the shoulder blade when discussing the rotator cuff. Thanks man!

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.

[@starlightengramA]

Thank you for a very helpful and informative session on the rotator cuff and the serratus anterior muscles. Unfortunately I messed up my shoulder on pec flyes some years ago and have had a devil of a time trying to bring it back. First, I made the mistake of jumping into full load without a slow progression into the loaded condition before tightening my muscles to lift. I ripped off some tendon and ligament fibers that way. Everything should be loaded before lifting the plates. This way, everything is holding the weight. Second, I forced the weight to move too fast. I was accustomed to lifting slow and steady. That way The slow twist fibers were doing the job. Not the fast twist fibers. Coming back from 265 pound pec flyes was humbling to say the least. About 3 days after my event horizon, I wasn't able to lift a pocket comb to my hairline. What a bummer. The pain was about as bad as a dislocated shoulder. Since then I've been looking into Tendon Nei kung and special dietary supplements and therapies. One of the most overlooked methods is deep heat. I slept with an electric heating pad set on high temp wrapped around my shoulder and in the first night I recovered more than on any other effort. The blood rushed into the spasmed tissues and fed everything. What a giant relief. Next, regular small feedings of collagen gel powder added to my protein shakes. After that, cows' foot stew with no meat and all tendons, ligaments and meniscus tissues in the bone broth on a weekly basis. Yummy. And finally, L-ornithine and DL-methionine powders for the extra push to rebuild joint tissues. It's working. I am up to 170 pound pec flyes in the beginning of year 2 recovery, and finally starting to 'hook up'. I think it's important to eat what you are repairing. Like helps like. Thanks for sharing, and happy holidays to you!!

well explained, very important to also mention the fact that external rotator cuff are small muscles compared to the internal rotators such as chest muscles (pectoralis major) and the large muscles on each side of the back the latissimus dorsi... they are often neglected because they are not as visible (some of the external rotators are actually under the shoulder blade... some people may even develop TRIGGER POINTS in those small underdeveloped muscles sending SHOOTING diffused pains into the shoulder... a good massage therapist can help release those TRIGGER POINTS (but few know the technique, in my own experience as a former massage therapist myself) once release these muscles will be more cooperative in doing their essential stabilizing work and accept to be trained more willingly

this was very helpful as i get shoulder pain and have rounded shoulders. jeff if you could do some more videos on how to fix rounded shoulders i have watched your others and they are doing the job but enough is never enough when it comes to trying to sort your body out

[@vipernight2]

yeah i am following jeffs videos right now but there are not to many on posture thanks for the help

[@leoh5732]

vipernight2 underhand pull ups or chin ups tend to work as they force your shoulders into a less rounded position, and plus develop your traps which pull your shoulders back :)

[@aaronisrael2626]

Also make your rear delts stronger and work on your thoracic mobility. I used to have shoulder pain too when I was always slouched cuz all I did was play on the computer but now I made some gains and I'm happy that I fixed my posture and now the shoulder pain is gone

[@vipernight2]

yeah sucks when i have to stop my workout early coz it hurts to much but its getting alot better

[@StrongandWomanly]

vipernight2 Search posture correcting exercises.

[@markrose53]

60 yrs old and dealing with a rotator cuff strain right now. These videos are really helpful. Thanks

[@AlCELEE]

I need some workout to heal my lower back pains cause I always feel pain down there.

[@fgsdgsfdgsfdgwsfdaegsdf]

did several of the plank plus, my neck actually felt better immediately after doing them. Been having pain in the back of the neck and didn't expect that to help, but I am grateful for the benefit.

[@ironmurs6903]

Cavaliere is the ish. Love with preso's and demos. Top notch.

[@SuperChanks]

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.. THANX A LOTT JEFF I MUST APPRECIATE U.. HAVE A PAIN IN MY SHOULDER SINCE 3 MONTHS AND STILL HAVE A PAIN BUT RIGHT NOW I M SEEING YOUR VIDEO AND DOING EXERCISE AS U DOING AND IT RELIEF A LOT.. ONLY TOOK 3 SET OF YOUR FIRST AND SECOND EXERCISE WITH 10 REP IN EACH AND 4 REP IN EACH.. AND I MUST SAY THESE THREE EXERCISE ARE IN TOP NOTCH WHO HAVE A PAIN IN SHOULDERS AND LOCKED UP WHEN LIFTING A WEIGHT.. ITS A MIRACLE EXERCISE... THANXX A LOT JEFF AGAIN...

[@Omnigodz78]

I tell you, I love watching CT Fletcher kali Muscles and Mike Rashid for entertainment purposes and get me hype up to workout... but There's only a few and I highlight a FEW people that give great advise and ATHLEAN is on the top. .. kept it

[@rsk771]

I'm in the exactly same boat as you! Jeff is god given to us "iron addicts" around the world. Cheers from Norway

[@GR-uc1gq]

Such a shame to see CT in the state he is in now

[@OGKennyPowers]

You saved my biceps tendonitis. My left shoulder has left me depressed the last month since I couldn’t lift any other muscle but legs and some lats. Strengthening my rotator cuff has led to overall better shoulder development and I’m nearly there in terms of being pain free.

[@Benwilli1]

Holy Crap this video got me excited. newest sub here!!

[@TheAllday82]

I jacked up my shoulder but it's getting better because of you thanks bro

[@kaminatorXD]

1.000likes only 5 dislikes Give this man Jeff a price please!! Great Video, cant stress enough about the importance of rotator cuff training

[@lickwicked7294]

Very good explanation about how important is rotator cuff muscle. I had a pain in my front deltoid because my rotator cuff is weak. I’ve trained incline benchpress and dumbel fly also shoulder shrug then it caused injury my front delt.

[@personaltrainer4529]

*I still say the best resource for cuff rehab and prevention is **_Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff_** at Amazon*

[@jeffgalef121]

Jeff, you're the best. I've been doing shoulder exercises for months, but kept getting worse. Your explanation about inadvertently strengthening the deltoid, and making it worse if you do it too far away from your body, made all the difference. THANK YOU!!!

[@raboon282]

I feel like I’m doing it properly yet my deltoid still does all the work. How did you fix that

[@danielle2066]

Love every athlean x vid ever made! “Piss poor posture” LOL

[@jayrobertson1689]

I’ve had double rotator cuffs surgery and you just helped me so much

[@Z1Trader]

I have this popping in my right shoulder thanks for this video glad ive found it

[@farukarslan3583]

Hey! How are u now? What was the progress?

[@MikeCodere23]

Thank you very much for all your videos. I'm 52 and trying to get in shape with a lot of problems from my younger years and current year of being inactive.

[@kenkhan2693]

holy hell! i just did some external rotator exercises with a rolled up shirt under my arm and my shoulders feel fucking great!! i've been having trouble with my shoulders hurting joint/muscle pain and it made life miserable. i'm in a wheelchair too so that had me worried, but they feel good. i rolled a shirt up and put it under my arm pit, brought my elbow close to my side, and of course i pulled my shoulders back and down as well, and did some externals. i felt relief after the first set. i can raise my left arm now without feeling like i didn't have the strength. i don't have that nagging feeling of needing to pop my shoulder. damn i can roll them around a Lot easier. if your having trouble like i was give it a try. i thinking just a shirt or small towel is the way to go. i was doing them without the shirt but that did nothing for me like with the shirt.

[@seethisful]

This guy is the best. He is really smart about his work out he is really strong, i can't even imagine my self looking like that. He needs to get more views because he deserve it. Sorry if my english is bad not my main language

[@knowledgeispower8407]

I get a cracking sound in my shoulder when i do the first excercise , what does that mean ?

[@Gohsted]

He has a video up specifically for that check the suggested videos.

[@THEDRAWINGSTUDIO1]

How's that shoulder doing now man?

[@johnfrank1574]

Gonna have to amputate it.

[@wayneburnett8654]

As someone currently awaiting Rotator Cuff surgery this information is really useful and will continue to be so when I get back to the gym.

[@michaelpiatt6648]

As someone that had a full tear of the supraspinatas rotator cuff, take care of them

[@stefanosa5050]

Ive diagnosed with tenontopathy and im only 21.I started these about a month and a half.Do u lift?

[@michaelpiatt6648]

@@stefanosa5050 Yes, but I don't do barbell bench presses anymore. Also I'm using more resistance bands and dumbbells at higher rep volumes. I'm getting good results (have added muscle mass) and it's a lot easier on my joints. At 62, I can't afford another injury like that.

[@Matt-qu3pg]

Needed this. I have a shoulder impingement on my right shoulder. Started doing rotator cuff work and it hurt my other shoulder a little, i felt something was off. I was doing the first example exactly how you said it is being done wrong. Thank you jeff

[@DrJayHerrera]

great points Jeff! Thanks for the content!

[@sebastianflash64]

Excellent video , my rotator cuff had a corticosteroid injection after numerous visits to my physio , and the pain went almost immediately, .i work in the building trade as a plasterer, .its all my fault bad working posture .

[@MrPJFurey]

I found this very helpful! :) Keep up the good work!

[@michaeldparker2908]

Just had surgery in December, 5 weeks ago. Although I had good range rotating the arm forward to overhead, with the therapist, it differed when doing it on my own. After watching this, by moving my shoulder blades back and down, my range was much better. Thanks.

[@yidy1]

Thank you Mr. Cavaliere for this clip! Question: How can I exercise my rear delts with a band, like the one you use in this clip, without damaging the rotator cuffs? 2: When I do the Scapula Raise/Hold in the pull-up position, I get the Rotator cuff clicking and hurting. For that reason, I only do chin-ups, because in my experience they are easier on the Rotators. Can you advise me on this matter? Thank you again for your great video advice.

[@TheAdrianjjohnson]

thankks brother. I am sure I have torn or injured my tendons in my shoulder. Heading back to the gym after 1 year hiatus tonight. gonna try and fix.

[@21redsox21]
