[@elbowtko]

Hey Dan, I'm a Physical Therapist, I have to say that this video is one of the best progression videos ive seen for closed chain. The music is also great. Please PLEASE do one for the knee open and closed. Thanks!

Hi, Pan, you two videos of shoulder pain are excellent, you have to realize that YOU cured my shoulder pain. Thanks a lot! I still don't understand the stretch part, because conventional stretch sometimes gives me pinch, what kind of stretch do I have to do?

I just finished up 12 weeks of PT for my right bicep tenodesis surgery and some mild left shoulder impingement. I am now on my own as far as therapy goes. Any guidelines on programming for these open and closed changed exercises and how often to do them? I plan on starting in stage one for both just to be safe. Ideally i'd like to progress back into pushup variations (no handstands), bench press, and landmine press (maybe overhead press in the distant future but not sure on that one). Thanks a lot for the great content you put out!

The push up is the one I can't do without damaging my shoulder. Undiagnosed. Condition ongoing for 12 months. Prior to shoulder problems I did two years of calisthenics including: -Achieved strict gymnastics rings muscle ups in 9 months and plus 10 pound weight belt after another year -Handstand hold on flat floor and parallettes. -Straight bar muscle up Also did lots of: -Planche training -Back lever training -Front lever training -Rows, pull ups, push ups etc in miscellaneous positions during every session -Core and leg training I have not trained properly in a year because of this condition. My general practicioner is not a specialist and therefore does not seem to sufficiently understand. She had me get X-Rays which came up normal. What's necessary for proper diagnosis? MRI, ultrasound, palpations? Do you recommend going straight to a physical therapist or should I see a different kind of doctor for diagnosis first? The shoulder in question always sat lower and looked smaller for the entirety of my training. It's the right shoulder which sits resting upon a computer mouse often for as many as 40 hours per week.

I'd go to a physio who can help guide you.

Thank you men, Hi, if i have a disconfort and some pain in the area between the neck (trapezius) and the acromion, what can i do? what do you recommend me to improve? And i´ve some disconfort too in the wrist only if i do some pushups, but i can do a handstand with the help of the wall without disconforts, for example if i do lateral crawls my left wrist feel some pain in the area proximal to the thumb finger that is between in the hand and the forearm. Please help me, recommend me something, thank you for your help and your videos.

[@LeleCapoeira]

how many repetitions/sets of each?

[@fitnesspainfree]

Truly depends on the person and the rest of the program. I'd start with every other day to begin. 2-3 sets of 6-10 reps.

[@TheBeautyGamer1]

[@javierzegarra4239]
