If Bench Press Bothers Your Shoulders... | Dan John

Clubbell training cured my shoulder impingement like magic.

the outside mills helped mine.

Flat Bench Press is a well known shoulder breaker for many. Still people want to do it just because they can lift more weight. Ego problem basically. Incline bench is a safer option otherwise.

Hello from Germany. I am a physio and I totally agree with you. I' m working with a specialist for shoulder- surgeons in an hospital. I' glad to find your channel, just bought me your book. Hope it will arrive tomorrow🙏😁👍 Please more hanging and we would have less operations

I have switched to dips and overhead press (usually military press with KBs) and seems not only I feel better but also my posture improved. I think, if you don't want to compete and your goal is health and longevity, it doesn't make much sense to bench press.

Don't tell anyone, but I have thought this for decades.

@@DanJohnStrengthCoach Probably the fact, that I got most of my fitness knowledge from you, has got something to do with it ;).

The floor press is a good substitute and is something I use to maintain strength and is much easier on the shoulders ! Try floor press with kettlebells or a barbell and easy strength protocol helps ! Floor press and landmine press are used by many boxers who have enough shoulder work and want to increase speed and power and promote more of a neutral grip (safer). PS if it hurts the joint stop !

Kettlebell floor press is a super good excersice and seen not so often in KZbin videos Eine sehr gute übung , wird leider nicht oft gezeigt oder empfohlen ?? Не знаю почему ?

Light flat benching hurts my left shoulder but knuckle push-ups with my hands parallel doesn’t hurt at all! Plus I do plenty of hangs.

[@Jiggleton]

Reverse grip bench is awkward at first but it had never given me problems. I can bench with the normal grip fine for weeks and conservatively at that, i will inevitably have some kind of issue

Smart guy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Mr. John.

Bench press tends to give my shoulder fits (I no longer do bench), but I can do push-ups with rings and feel just fine. Not sure why, but not complaining. 😊 Also do well with dips.

Thanks for sharing!

Benching the bar hurts😢😮

It seems to be something I hear about a lot more now.
