Fix Shoulder Pain with The Kettlebell Arm Bar

[@notundermywatch3163]

Thank you for this. So valuable!!

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Awesome. Thanks for the support and the feedback! 💪

Cool movements, I think it could try, maybe not as good, but good enough with dumbbells

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Yes you can start with just a broom stick and build your way up. Dumbbells are ok, kettlebells are better due to the displaced load outside of your hand, demands more stability from your shoulder. Let me know how you go.

[@pjgarret7653]

Assuming this is more for strengthening and prevention after the acute phase of the injury (?)

[@the_shoulder_guy]

100% PJ. You shouldn’t be moving or lifting load if acute pain or after trauma. Let the healing process happen. Then start the rebuilding process.

[@heragr2912]

Can dumbbells work as well or must it be a kettlebell?

[@the_shoulder_guy]

@@heragr2912 kettlebells are great to help find the scapula position. I suggest working up to 25% body weight for 60 seconds. You can do it with dumbbells as well it’s I little harder to get the scapula position because the DB isn’t helping pull your arm back like the Kb does. DB is a little harder to stabilise for the same reason.

[@bougeac]

Great clip! Are you pushing the bell away whilst keeping the scapula clamped and stabilized? Subscribed!

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Great question! Thanks for reaching out. One way to challenge this position is to reach toward the roof. Reaching creates space which creates instability which we then have to learn to control. What weight have you tried with?

[@lmc4964]

does it help AC joint strain equally to the normal impingements people tend to have?

[@the_shoulder_guy]

It helps to load the tendons and ligaments in an isometric way so that would be a beneficial thing to do for a strain once you’re cleared to.

[@flexjay87]

What if your opposite shoulder is bad too , should you lay on it like this ?

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Flexjay that’s another great element of the arm bar. While you’re working on stability and control of the arm that’s up, the other shoulder is having to relax and improve in the overhead position. I know what you mean, I started with my dislocated shoulder out in front and slowly worked it up overhead. It took months to be confident in that position. Take it slow but comfortably challenge it.

I jave labrum tear in one shoulder and bicep tendonitis in other im 23 i have big clocking and popping in the labrum one i dont want to get surgery can you help me ekiminate the popping clicking? Ill pay you big amount i am an athlete i have interest in bodybuilding

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Full on. Yes I can definitely teach you what you need to know to move better and prevent further pain/injury. There's a lot of questions I have but that's what I go through as part of my Coaching program --> www.bulletproofshoulders.net/3-phase-program

[@markkuker3801]

Terrible suggestion. I'm not able to do that move due to the pain in my shoulder

[@the_shoulder_guy]

Hi Mark, yes if you have a painful shoulder this isn't one to start with. You can do this with just a stick instead of a kettlebell and I'd definitely recommend trying something more simple like the Stick Extension seen here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXO8iZlrqdZsiqM
