Shoulder Pain and Popping (SHORT & LONG TERM FIX!)

Build a ripped athletic body while fixing your shoulders here…
athleanx.com/x/get-a-bulletpro...
Shoulder pain and popping is one of the most common causes of missed workouts. Shoulder injuries are incredibly popular among gym goers, but not surprising when you consider the amount of mobility the shoulder joint has and the many ways we abuse that in our training. In this video, I’m going to show you a short term and long term fix for shoulder pain and the popping, cracking, etc that goes along with it. Start training hard and stop letting your bad shoulders get in the way of your progress in the gym.
First, you must understand that there are many potential causes of shoulder pain when working out. Most often however it comes from an imbalance between the internal and external rotators of the shoulder. Unless you make a conscious effort to incorporate external rotation exercises into your shoulder workouts you will not do anything to counteract this from happening.
The role of the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulders are to do exactly this. They are there for external rotation of the glenohumeral joint to help keep the arm in a good position as you raise it up overhead. The rotator cuff muscles (three of the four muscles) will externally rotate the humerus to keep it from banging into the acromion as you elevate the arm. They also keep the head of the ball and socket centered in the socket with the elevation as well.
In order to temporarily reposition an internally rotated head however, you want to do the drill that I’m showing you here. Begin by placing your back against a wall and trying to keep the back of your elbows and the radial side of your index fingers in contact with the wall. Try to raise both arms overhead (keeping the elbows against the wall every inch of the way until you reach the height of your shoulders). At this point you will allow your elbows to come off the wall but you want to keep your fingers against the wall for the remainder of the raise.
Slowly lower your arms back down to your sides and repeat the movement for a total of 5 to 6 reps. You may find that with each rep you are able to keep your fingers and elbows in contact with the wall further and further. When done, step away from the wall and attempt to raise your arms up overhead again. If you had shoulder pain and popping or clicking before, you should see that almost all of it is gone now.
You’ve effectively repositioned your humerus by activating the shoulder external rotators. This is a short term fix however. In order to do this long term you must incorporate rotator cuff strengthening into your daily workout program. We have a complete training program that not only helps you to build ripped athletic muscle but keeps your shoulders and joints healthy at the same time. This is called the ATHLEAN-X Training System. You can get this program at athleanx.com and start seeing your best and safest results ever.

[@keonwilson3505]

Dude. I practically stopped exercising for a year. Had horrible pops whenever I lifted a few pounds of weight. If I were to rotate my arms outward they would pop and crack, audibly, sometimes painfully. I just came across this video a week ago and for the first time in about a year I actually spent a couple hours without pops and cracks. Physical therapists told me to rest. Sports therapists told me to 'just train them' Then Jeff told me to raise my fucking arms while standing against a wall and making sure my elbows and hand don't come off until my arms start going over my head. Jeff's solution worked. I could muster up the courage to pick up light weights again and surprisingly enough only a few stray cracks. But doing this exercise instantly relieved them. Jeff my man, you're a God.

[@jackcarter6629]

[@anaconda4880]

Dude , how we suppose to do it? he confused me. Are we trying to keep the place between the index and the thumb and also the elbow in touch with the wall while raising or we try to put the other side of the palm together and bring them inn front?

[@melissat5719]

So what I do is keep my elbows and thumbs touching the wall for as long as I can as I go up. There will be a point where your elbows just cannot touch the wall anymore, and that's fine but keep your thumbs on the wall as you go up. I then just go up until my palms touch, then I go down trying to get my elbows back on the wall until I reach the starting position. Mix this with the pendulum swing, and some rotator cuff exercises and you will most likely feel a difference. Also stop pushing (chest) exercises for a while until you heal. I also found out I started sleeping on my side (new for me), so I got a softer bed and that is helping me a TON. Good luck. Hope this helps.

A few weeks ago when I was doing flat bench, I felt and heard a loud pop in my left shoulder when I lifted the weight off the bar. Just like that, I was unable to lift my left arm let alone work out from the pain and numbness. I went to youtube to do some research and came across this channel and you have completely changed how I look at lifting. I let my shoulder recover for 2 weeks then started doing this routine to help my shoulder along with a proper shoulder warm up I saw you do in another video. I also found out I was doing bench press and a few other moves way wrong which was the root cause of my shoulder issues. But THIS WORKS, I just did it today before working out and experienced no pain, weakness, or numbness post work out. You just acquired a lifetime viewer! Thanks so much for your instruction and insights, it has made a big improvement in my life!

Long term solution: Look up Jeff's video on "Do this after every workout (Non-negotiable)" Strengthening rear delts and rotator cuff will improve your posture and from what it sounds like, fix your pain once and for all.

[@antoniosgalanikas5011]

Jeff, I just love you. I wish you the best. You have helped me more than any doctor ever helped me. I am going to hear your advice for my whole life. I just don't care what doctors say anymore. You are the REAL therapist.

[@skoto8219]

Dude was a physical therapist for the New York Mets. It’s kind of weird to think that a *doctor* can go on giving their patients crap advice for decades while a physical therapist for a very profitable sports team won’t last more than a season if what he’s recommending doesn’t work. Or maybe it isn’t weird but it took me a while to get over the “how can he know more about this stuff than a doctor” mindset.

Dislocated my right shoulder almost two years ago in a competitive sand volleyball game. Had minor discomfort come and go, this basic movement has helped tremendously since finding this video/channel. Just wanted to say thank you sir :)

[@Whiterun_Gaurd]

Damn vollybal is no joke

[@bujiman]

you are a life saver.. i've been having this pain for a week and just doing this exercise has seriously reduced the pain.

[@felixadvincula1199]

this channel help me a lot spcially my lower backpain and now having my shoulder pain for six months hopefully it will fix my problem

[@Arafax]

I'm shocked by how effective this is every time I go back and do it. Really helping people out here, man.

[@RahShanProductionsMTU]

Bro 10 years of shoulder pain after getting slammed on my shoulder during wrestling practice. A lot of your videos are really starting to bring the mobility back and i can sleep better since incorporating the exercises.

[@dustincurtis434]

wow, I did one set of these and my shoulder, which had been bothering me for several years, feels 100% better, it's amazing. I've tried lots of other exercises and stretches and some seemed to help temporarily, but this exercise made a huge difference. Thanks

[@tonykirumba1553]

Coming back to these videos after two years, just as helpful now as they were then

[@edisonht8330]

I’m going to practice this ASAP. I put in practice the exercises for lower back pain and experienced relief shortly after. I put in practice all that I have learned here and was actually able to see actual well rounded gains. Thank you very much for taking the time to do all this videos and for helping me improve my physical health. 👍

[@thedude2000zify]

I have been experiencing a lot of discomfort, and clicking in my left shoulder when I work out. However, I tried this simple exercise out today, and when I came off the wall, and raised my arms up overhead, BOOM - there was no pain, or clicking. Thank you so much Jeff. You are a life-saver.

[@1toshi32]

Jeff truly is the best guy to fix any problems. I had to stop training which is really bad for someone like me who needs to do upper body work to help with my health problems. Fixed it in one go. Brilliant. Thank you so much Jeff.

[@adelelabrador770]

Thanks Jeff for posting this! I have been cracking my shoulders, in response to shoulder discomfort, for about 2 years now. I felt like the popping would never stop and I had been quietly discouraged at the ongoing discomfort and annoyance. With my work schedule and the high costs of addressing this issue...I just decided to put up with it. However, I am happy to say that I saw your video 2 days ago and for 2 days I have had ridiculous relief! Thank you again!!

[@adelelabrador770]

Still feeling great! :)

Why not? At least we'll know if this works on a long term basis. Case studies are golden and I for one want to know if this works on a long term basis. Adele, keep them coming! Is it still working?

[@ernestoluzan]

So here goes. I could barely trust my shoulder to wave at people before filling these routines. I added these to my prework our routine, and I can say this. I’m back to doing Barbell bench, dumbbell bench, and shoulder presses with slight discomfort but most importantly no pain. I even was able to handle a few back squats and mostly modified the rest of my back squat sets. One step at a time. Thanks for making this video!!

[@reubensweetapple1593]

how long did it take before you felt better

[@ernestoluzan]

Reuben Sweetapple it was pretty much a day later. I did the full 4 move routine on my off day, then the next day did it again and noticed my workout was so much better. I went for a PR on bench yesterday, I’m working my way back up since taking almost 3 years off. Hit my 1RM, no pain in my shoulder

[@Christopher_R]

Dude. I’m sold. Thank you for actually showing a short-term fix that i can use between sets.

Jeff, I had recently started Jiu Jitsu and my shoulder has been irritating me for over 2 months now and this exercise INSTANTLY relieved 80% off my pain and now I’m on the way to recovery just from this simple fix. I want you to know YOU ARE HELPING SO MANY PEOPLE!! Thank you so much Jeff.

never ever had i gotten my shoulders to extend in this way- and what a relief! thanks soo much Jeff!

[@dreamformemedia]

This exercise has literally changed my life. I was so sceptical watching the video and reading the comments but I’ve been able to do so many things this last 10 days I couldn’t before hand. Literally fixed in the first day but I was worried it would not work so I waited to comment lol. Thank you!!!

[@liam.s789]

Tobin Cuss I mean i just did it and did nothing for me. It’s pissing me off I have a click in my right shoulder and not my left. If I do dumbbell front raises it hurts my shoulder but then I do barbell shoulder press I don’t feel anything.

[@XENOX-777]

@@liam.s789 2:27 "Lots of other things can be causing shoulder problems." Maybe you should try some more things, he has more videos on shoulder pain and if those don't work you could always go and get it checked out somewhere.

[@WindWipper]

@@liam.s789 You might wanna try icing, as he mentioned that the bursa or whatever in the shoulder can get swollen/inflamed and reduce the space in the joint. Also, turmeric (taken internally) is great for inflammation. Would just experiment with icing in addition to this exercise. Maybe even alternating ice & heat at some point.

[@thexmsjoker]

that exercise is gold! just had days of pain in my shoulder and after trying this, its much better! thank you!

Tough to get into that position but i immediately felt that i was stretching and strengthening the area that was causing issues. Thanks!!!

[@mitchellpereira6365]

Dude I honestly cannot believe this worked! I am a frequent rock climber and a while back felt a big pop in the shoulder. From then on I had constant cracking in the shoulder and the occasional pain when putting any tension on it. Thought id leave it and just keep climbing but i started getting bigger jolts of pain. Didn’t really want to go through the effort of seeing a physical therapist just yet so found your video and hooley after a couple of those arm raises the cracking has finally stopped! Definitely gonna keep this up! Thanks heaps!

[@subtletransition6615]

Wow!!! This actually works. Quickest muscle fix ever. I can finally do shoulder presses again. Thank you so much Jeff.
