Rotator Cuff Exercises Won't Fix Your Sh*t (But This Will)

[@mariamd.k.anderson220]

Fantastic explanation. Armbar Hold and rotation are the best exercises!!! Thank you for educating us, Zac!!!

[@0x_Vlad]

You're a legend Zac! Thanks for helping people

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Happy to help!

[@sltho]

i just found you a couple days ago and i've been doing the anti duck feet protocol. ima do this rotator cuff enhancement protocol. Your content along with Conor Harris and Squat University has improved my mobility and function so much. Thank you!!

[@CaleHenituse-tz4hk]

great one as always!!

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Thank you so much!

When working on imbalances and posture issues, is it best to cease all other lifting/training? Or is there a good way to integrate these corrective movements and still workout effectively?

[@StoneAgePHD]

Thats why we subscribe, you are the best, literally

[@ZacCupplesPT]

You are too kind!

Sick sick sick! Lots of goodies in this one ❤ thank you Mister Zaccalicious!

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Thank you so much!

Is it better to improve external rotation measures before improving internal rotation

[@utryshy2608]

Hello Zac, in the first exercise, you say to spin the hands outwards, but I see yours in the same position as in the starting position. Should I keep my hands as still as yours or should I rotate them? Thank you so much :)

[@shubby2078]

Zac, My right shoulder is a mess. Its rolled forward along with my clavicle but looks like they are not connected. Whenever i do exercises like Dips, Pec Dec, Bench Dips, the shoulder rolls forward and going deep feels like it'll tear the muscle or break my clavicle. I've reached out mutiple orthopaedic and P.Ts but all they tell me is that I should not worry about this, it is just a muscle imbalance. Can i perform the internal rotation exercise you mentioned as mine is fu*ed. My right back expands when I inhale but my right rib doesn't whereas my left rib is flared. Also Right neck is always active and painful. Please save me

[@moverighttraining4901]

Golden shoulder content here, Z! On the side-lying combo pelvic rotation move, can I assume we go till fatigue starts to crack the form? You're right, hella hard.

[@jangorczyca5830]

Very interesting. I have to try. Can you advise what kettlebell weight will be appropriate for the beginning?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Depends on the person. 10-20 pounds decent range for most #giveitashot

[@milanmacik6094]

zac, can you please make a video if someone is in supposed left aic, but yet his right pelvis is forward a lot, with hike on right, with colapsed ankle on right and supinated on left.. thank you.. it is so confusing

[@eslamemad7430]

Second drill with kattelbell Targeted side bottom or top??

[@ZacCupplesPT]

technically both :)

[@eslamemad7430]

@@ZacCupplesPT both ER ?

[@akshayebenezar]

I have a rib flare only on the side I sleep on. Years of sleeping on that side messed up my ribs. Is it reversible.

[@michaelk.5706]

Me too

[@ZacCupplesPT]

You can often improve mobility in this region, yes

[@ZacCupplesPT]

It can often improve with the right moves

[@friday1806]

Don’t you think the rib cage follows head direction? So for the second exercise when you look up toward that side your ribcage is essentially wanting to go to that side, working internal rotation of the arm that is holding the kettlebell.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

You are turning toward the top arm, so yes

[@Happymanav]

Can you please make a video on uneven chest

[@CSFREERUNNING]

In practice the rolling armbar only seems to improve IR for me. I thought this made sense, concentric muscle activity on the back side, keeping the scap flush on the rib cage and pushing me over into a left turn (right arm up). What am I getting wrong here?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

It can because you are getting some posterior lower and it’s within the IR range

[@CSFREERUNNING]

@ZacCupplesPT OK thanks man. Any reason that jumps out to why it might he ineffective at improving ER? I'm visually very compressed posteriorly, biggest ER limitation is ER with elbow at the side of the body.

[@eslamemad7430]

Super bro ❤️❤️

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Thanks 🤗

[@Mrwolfiesx]

You and conor harris contents are similar, do you all study the same thing?

[@ElysiaOConnor]

Yes essentially, the same principals are from the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI). Lots of other disciplines think this way, but I believe they got a lot of their training from PRI.
