Top 5 Shoulder Stability Exercises (Ranked Simple to HARD)

[@SquatUniversity]

Hope you all liked the video today! What would you like me to make a video on next?

[@CostanzerStrasse]

Personally, same topic but going more in depth with when to schedule this routine in an overall strength program and how to progress it ( not talking about easiest/hardest version, but how to improve in time every single exercise). Thanks again and happy new year!

[@lutfi911]

Hey Doc, just curious what size do you wear for your Ursus shoes?

[@simoncox1495]

Hip stability please!

[@vo0d0o15]

Could you talk about the next progression. Like what are good compound movements to perform that will continue to enhance stability. For example I understand my lower trap is a stabilizer for scapular decompression. The behind the neck snatch grip over head press is a favorite moment of the famous Olympic lifter Klokov - I believe this movement is great for working the lower trap but conversely many therapists talk about how bad this movement is for the joint. Meanwhile you also have the knees over toe camp promoting extreme range of movement strength, it's confusing.

Would this be good for someone who suffers dislocations

I just started with Kettlebell Arm Bar and Windmills, did this 3 times until know and my shoulder already feels much better than before! This channel is amazing!

[@buethling]

Dang that's a heavy bell, those guys are beasts! Good video as always!

[@icecold5707]

2:57 Lay down, arm extended, hold a kettlebell upside down, twist 5-ish times, turn onto your side and do again 4:30 Kneel, hold a kettlebell overhead, arm straight, other hand touches ground 6:50 Straight arm plank, widen feet, touch your opposite shoulders, hold 5-10 secs (longer as you improve)

[@nick-xu1714]

McGill has said that low back endurance is better than low back strength for injury prevention. Could you show some low back endurance exercises or how to program that?

[@SquatUniversity]

That's an excellent question and I will definitely get to that!

[@RatOrMouse]

Kettle swing? Or holding weight in a tilted position

[@jakejakejak]

Isometric extensions (with or without a plate on your back) , supermans, maybe 2 minutes? QL extensions or windmills. Or high rep hyper extensions

[@alejandraeguiza8530]

You can do the bug 3 McGill. Great to work the whole core. Front, side, and back of the core.

[@travisrios1212]

Late reply but get into Reverse Hypers, hamstring strengthening, and psoas mobility/releasing. Had a bulging disc 10 years ago, was deadlifting 515 back then. Ever since I got it fixed been into lower back stability via hamstring strengthening, psoas mobility, and various reverse hyper extensions (isometric, gradual decline, resistance bands, etc) and can confidently say my lower back is the strongest part of my body. Once per week do a routine with leg day. Reverse hypers do 3 days a week Edit: and certain yoga poses, my favorite being Pigeon pose and backbends

[@FiascoCats]

Excellent, just what I need atm. My right shoulder does not track properly with the overhead press. So will be backing down and focusing technique and stability in the shoulder joint.

[@jugg3rnut501]

Great video like always! Iam trying to find some good exerisce for rotator cuff tendinitis pain… would love to see that🙏… once again such a amazing Chanel!

[@SquatUniversity]

You got it!

[@switchfootforever24]

@@SquatUniversity I second this request!!

[@fredericoamigo]

Love the Earthquake bar. Also: thank you for sharing the reverse kettlebell bench press. That, in conjunction with dips in gymnastics rings, has completely removed my long lasting shoulder instabilities! Keep up the excellent work!

[@user-sd8bz2zr5j]

Them dips on rings make me nervous. i shall try this bc of your comment!

[@HealthglowsNet]

Thank you for sharing these useful exercises.

[@AdrianMcGavock]

absolute GOLD as usual... I wish I'd discovered this channel years ago 😂... have bought Back Mechanic off the strength of the advice here and will buy Dr. H's book next 👍

[@simrankapoor1610]

You are amazing, I see all your video and do exercises for stability drills once or twice a week, thank you, you should be charging for your videos

[@sidrens5292]

This channel is just ‘epic’!!!

[@thetruthh101]

Why hasn’t this video been made sooner!? Thank you so much. I tend to get discouraged in the gym because when I do like bicep curls. My left arms can go all day, my right arm. After so many, I really start to feel it in my shoulder? Is this normal?

[@sirmanni4534]

Do you have a video on best lifting exercises when recovering from a labral repair 10 months post-op? Great video.

[@CostanzerStrasse]

Another great content. Thank you so much! One question: when this stability exercises "fit" in a strength routine? Rest days? And how many times per week do you suggest?

[@bencrayston6930]

Love this, thanks for sharing these great exercises - appreciate it!

[@dtctraveler]

Great content as always. So much of this information would benefit the climbing community. Now that training is becoming the corner stone of sending more difficult projects for the average climber, I have seen more and more people getting injured due to the fact that climbing training is still new and still trying to catch up due to popularity, funding, and interest, I find it important to create bridges in sports performance. It would be awesome if you did a video with the dude from hoopers beta youtube channel. Stellar stuff. Cheers.

[@elanafranklin6362]

Hoopers Beta collab would be neat. Or with Jared Vagy.

Hey Dr. Aaron! Dr. Austin PT, DPT, OCS from FL here! Have had a lot of patients recently with SIJ discomfort. I'm looking for some good resources for treatment interventions to improve outcomes especially with R sided pain with L hip ext AROM in prone. I have loved implementing some of your MWM banded work for my patients and consistently refer to your channel for continued learning. Can you do a video on SIJ pain. Happy new year!

[@TheSubieFan]

Look up hoopers beta. I'm pretty sure he has a video on it.

[@emd1178]

Excellent video!

[@Cryptocurrency1O1]

🙏 thanks 👍 I am going to implement this 💪🔥

[@Doggomorph]

Should be Squat and Deadlift University broooo absolute class channel

[@SV-qz1ed]

Good video! What about the overhead carry? You introduce instability by walking.

[@koettfaers]

as always, very good information. you're amazing. usually you pinpoint all the questions I may have about a certain exercise, but in this case Im unsure about a couple of things. Probably just me. But anyone can feel free to explain this to me, I would appreciate it. The first exercises with and without the kettlebell, and forgive me because Im not great with anatomy terms in english. Are you supposed to keep the shoulder blade depressed and abducted while you hold your arm straight? Or are you supposed to extend the arm towards the ceiling as long as you can, almost? I still try to understand the human anatomy and fix my shoulder and knee issus, so I still lack all the knowledge I need to inuitively know how to engage proper muscles and form to perfom varies kind of movements and exercises. Thanks to anyone who take their time to respond! Have a nice day all

thank you ❤

[@vanessawirz6385]

very informative video, how much weight would you recommend for a beginner? I feel most of the pain during the side plank, where the upper arm and shoulder that hold the weight cramps up. I was wondering if those stability exercises could help with that too.

[@vijaygambhir6092]

Thanks

[@AxDuncan2635]

My favourite shoulder stability exercises: bottom-up carry or incorporating overhead positioning into other movements. Would love a similar video on hip stability 👌🏻

[@OatmealBananaBread]

Thanks for the great video! How many times per week would you perform these exercises and when (e.g. before, after or during your workout)?

[@oskarhardy]

Do them before as a warm-up.

[@marwinjucker9864]

Hey Aaron, thank you that's a very helpful video. Quick Question: Can you do the last exercise without a bar by holding the resistance band itself?

[@darraghobrien3901]

hi I am a big fan of your videos just over a year ago when I first started weight training in around 15 training sessions I deadlifted. With a badly rounded lower back the weight was not heavy and I have not deadlifted since is it likely that I caused any sort of long term damage to my back

[@spacemamb0-649]

it’s over

[@chrish3030]

I’ve been struggling with a frozen shoulder for 12 months, still can’t do anything overhead I’ll try the others on this video, thank you. Anything else you would recommend

[@nikhilr2761]

​@@clashofaction249he still the same fucked up

[@thomaswalker2692]

Great explanations. How might you program these?

[@oskarhardy]

Do them before as a warm-up.

[@Ova-bv4os]

I'm going to give this try. my left shoulder has a mind of its own. i can never make symmetrical movements when doing cable press or chest supported rows or even bicep curls. when i initiate a row, I can actually see my shoulder slightly pulling out of place, leaving a hollow. my right shoulder and back engages immediately but my left stretches out of places first no matter how hard I try to activate the muscles around it.

[@Zaacckk]

This was 10 months ago but any progress since then?

[@Ova-bv4os]

@@Zaacckk actually yes In short, the exercises in the video did help, particular in building up my brains ability to activate those muscles during regular exercise and now my issue with the left shoulder pulling out of place is completely gone, i couldn't make it move like that again if i tried. however there was something else that also helped in the most frustrating way possible that is no fault of the exercise above. I injured the front delt of my healthy shoulder at work and during the weeks and months i was working out while waiting for it to heal, my initial issue corrected itself because my left side became dominant during pull days and the muscles in my back and shoulder learned to work together to carry the load. now i have a different problem. Raised right shoulder with pain and weakness, scapular winging and no mind muscle connection to my back muscles on that side lol. Its a never ending journey to symmetry for me

[@desubeats]

@@Ova-bv4os i feel for you. are you working with a physio?

[@RP-om5dn]

As a boxer I’ve suffered a shoulder dislocation and can’t seem to build the stability back in my shoulder, would these definitely resolve this?

[@TheGraemeH]

This is a weird question but how did you get those kettlebells on the earthquake bar? It looks like a single band for each but how did you loop it twice through the KB handle? Am I missing something?

[@szczypi0rek]

Im not sure if I explain it to you properly because of launguage barrier but he simply put the band through the kettle and hanged both ends on a bar. Its one band for one side of the barbell but he looped it. Look at 9:55.

[@TheGraemeH]

@@szczypi0rek oh geez, I’m an idiot, I see it now. Thanks!
