Man.. inspirational. I'm 37 and hope I can continue my fitness journey as you have well on into the second half of my life! Having a partner that loves and shares a passion for working out is amazing. Maybe I'll find that in the future as well :) I'm happy for you both. God bless & Happy belated Birthday to the Spartan Queen :P

I for one, am rooting for you! After all, if you stop trying to get better just because you're getting older, you're not going to stay in the same place. Rather, you'll start slipping backwards, and then you'll never beat Kakarrot. You'll become like Gohan. Lame.

[@davidmciver9483]

Thanks for this. I am 76 and play 2-3 hours of pickleball 5 days a week. My killer tennis serve, from my youth, wrecked my shoulder. Orthopedic surgeons / 3 MRIs gave up. Massage therapy has kept me going. I will try these techniques.Thanks.

[@VeteranSlayer]

Hello, i want to ask you if you tried those excersices and if so, did you see any positive results?

[@keyser_söze23]

You sir, are unreal for just handing out this information. I've been doing a scapula/cuff workout every Saturday for the last 2 years and its incomprehensible the difference it's made to my shoulders.

[@MangoMan33]

@Keyer Soze - Is this scapula/cuff workout you’ve been implementing from one of his (Trevor) videos or of your own device?

[@keyser_söze23]

@@MangoMan33 It's a combination of Trevor's, FitnessFAQs & Tom Merrick's advice along with a few bits I implemented. Edit: for me, my issues were winging scapula so my workout, at first, centred around strengthening & stretching the serratus anterior. As that got stronger I moved onto looking at the whole shoulder & cuff.

[@l3gendbaap963]

@@keyser_söze23 could you please share your best exercises, I have the same problem

[@keyser_söze23]

@@l3gendbaap963 Handcuff raise supersetted with dumbbell pullover. Externally rotate shoulders throughout both moves, along with protracted scapula. 4×12 "Y" raise, keep shoulders retracted throughout the movement. 4×12 Scarecrow, 4×12, really concentrate on feeling where the scapula is and where they're supposed to be throughout the movement. So started protracted, going into retraction, then depression + retraction followed by elevation + retraction. Reverse the movement to complete the rep. Rear delt raises, keeping the scapula depressed + retracted throughout the movement. 4×12 Lateral raises, but keep the elbow locked out throughout the movement, thumbs pointing slightly up, and also allowing the scapula to freely move as intended, don't try to force the scapula into a position. 4×15. Face pulls using two ropes like Athlean X recommends, including the press movement. 4×15. Hope that helps you out. 👍🏽

[@l3gendbaap963]

@@keyser_söze23 Thanks a lot my man. The tip first address your scapula problems before you start with rotator cuff repair really did it for me. I’ve got a nasty injury below my scapula and it’s winging too. Some good exercises already started to reduce my winging and pain. When my scapula is stable I can work on that impingement.

Just wanted to thank you, my right shoulder hurt so bad I was afraid to go to the doctor. Thinking they would say I need a replacement. I watched your video on doing pull ups. Then started doing the exercises to fix my shoulder. 80% better and not in constant pain. Thank you.

Thanks a lot for this. You fixed the biggest headache of my life. Just 5 sessions in and I can comfortably do floor dumbbell presses now. 🤘

[@sonnymoran03]

Dr. Trev, I recently fell off my bike and landed on my right shoulder in the damn street and asphalt doesn't give much and the pain was excruciating. I never lost mobility but lifting my arm overhead was painful. My Evel Knievel impression happened about 3 weeks ago and although my shoulder is still a little sore I started doing a lighter version of your recommended exercises and brother I am regaining hope that had been lost. Thx for sharing your inspirational energy, the knowledge of body mechanics and I salute you and your beautiful wife. Cheers!!

[@SlowRiderDucati]

Good advice I blew out My shoulders a few years ago benching 465 lbs for reps. I was 56 years old then and I could not even bench the 45 lbs bar. So I rebuilt my shoulders using the book "bullet proof your shoulders" and now at 58 years old I'm back up to 350lbs narrow grip bench. The exercises you show work very well. To maintain my shoulders I do 250 lbs bent over rows which keeps all the shoulders and back strong.

[@sebastianjung1561]

Good to see you back on track...! Greetings from Kågeröd Sweden

[@jillybean4899]

I have been dealing with a rotator cuff/ shoulder impingement for the better part of a year now. My 65 lb pit bull loves rabbits and one night last year, I wasn’t on full guard and she went after one with my arm Still in the leash..(my arm went up And out, right before I was about to eat cement, knowing I was going to lose my front teeth, I turned so my right arm went up and across my chest, thumb pointing up, and fell that way with a yank to my Arm that did the damage. Hopefully you can kind of picture it. Man I have to say, this Injury has been nothing but brutal. I found another channel that helped me self diagnose and although recommended exercises were somewhat helpful it wasn’t enough. And today I found you! Great content and execution is right to the point. Thank you! I know this is what I need. Love to all💜

Those watching this video, this is legit. I have been suffering from impingement since last 3 years, watched and tried numerous exercises by various famous KZbinrs but didn't help. God bless you man.

[@turntablesrockmyworld9315]

Thanks for the video.The title (understandably,for clicks) is a little hyperbolic as there is no "hoax" as all these exercises are found in modern physiotherapy. Hanging is the latest recommendation. The first one (going from internal to upward/abducting external rotation) I used to call "reach-into-your-pocket" and the wall drill I have done for awhile i call "Y to W"). I have never seen the prone Cuban exercise though (I've seen the motions, just not bent over) is a new idea for me. Thanks.

why do you have so many difference routines for shoulder rehab on your channel? any of them should work? what's the difference

[@Jackknifegyp]

You are absolutely right, as you likely already know. After two surgeries on my left shoulder, 1. a Hemiarthro 2 years ago, which didn't fix anything, and then, 2. Reverse Shoulder replacement, 7 months post-op, and still very dissatisfied, I was told essentially I have no rotator cuff left to condition, is there anything you might recommend to condition what is left of my TENDONS and Delts?

[@pedrotavares8691]

Happy birthday. Thank you for sharing.

[@mikewalkow1860]

I do hangs from rings instead because I have severe OA in my elbow shoulder pathologies and it's more comfortable. Also like the areas being separated.

[@davidjanbaz7728]

As a PTA I like this video : we do many of these same exercises in RC rehab.

[@filipstanic4543]

Trevor can you please tell me your opinion on this? If we try to think about "natural" human body movements we could use an example of farmers who used to and still today lift heavy objects to work around their land and survive. They developed crazy strength, never injured their shoulders but never did rotator cuff exercises. What do you think is the most "natural" way of developing strength and/or phisique? I think working out till failure is unnatural and dangerous and Joe Rogan also talked about that in his training regimen, do you think so too? Working out with gymnastic rings actually helps with external rotation of the shoulders. I think that isolation exercises should be avoided and compound lifts should be done instead. Lü Xiaojun actually advises that weightlifters (the athletes competing in the sport of weightlifting, not just guys lifting weights in the gym) avoid bench pressing on the whole because it can restrict shoulder mobility, which is essential for the overhead maneuvers of the sport. What do you think about this?

[@Grays_Plays]

Farmers don't spend all day hunched over a computer/phone/desk/ect ect. The average person with shoulder issues does and they'll need to attempt to address that or compensate for it as best as they can to avoid issues.

[@warwickstingray]

You need to mention that it’s a balance!! I have the complete opposite problem. Severely tight upper and mid-back with over active muscles that have left me with weak pecs and serratus anterior issues so I have very poor scapular function. One of my shoulder blades is locked solid and the shoulder does all the work so I have poor overhead function on that arm and the other the shoulder joint is locked and my shoulder blade does all the movement which obviously leads to a very weak support system and major spine, neck and hip pain/dysfunction on that side. You need to check you have full mobility of your shoulder and if not figure out what is causing the restriction and then very gradually stretch those muscles along with appropriate strength training to balance those areas. I know this because I’m 15 months into a program to undo 7 years of pain!! Lack of mobility is an issue you will compensate and then you will have to undo learned compensation behaviour to recover!! It sucks do not ignore tightness!
