struggling with shoulder pain just building stronger deltoids is not the answer in fact exercises like lateral raises often cause pain for many with shoulder injuries let me show you a better way I recently worked with aew pro wrestler Brian Cage who had been dealing with shoulder pain for some time during my testing here’s how far I could raise his arm before symptoms I also found he was very weak with both of these tests so he needed to Prime his rotator cuff to better stabilize the shoulder so the joint didn’t roll excessively L into an internally rotated and aggravating symptom-provoking position we started with an external rotation raise holding for 5 seconds in this elevated position and followed it with another rotational drill in this lateral position again for a 5sec hold with retesting after he could now move his arm all the way overhead without pain and his lateral raises felt stronger with significantly less symptoms showing he was now on the right track

Shout out @muscleandmotion for the amazing anatomy graphics, @kayytangg for her lateral raise demo & @briancage for working hard to fix this injury!
What if my rotator cuff is torn? Will these exercises work for me?
Showing masculine females on your fitness video to make your point is beta male behavior
Do lateral raises on cables with light weight it completely fixed my shoulder pain of over 12 years none of these exercises he shows work long term
How'd he develop so much big shoulder with problems???
always got some baddies in these videos
I'm in PT for shoulder pain, and these exact moves you've given him are what cause the worst of my shoulder pain. I have tendonitis from a down-sloping acromium that leads to impingement. I experience pain all around and down my arm bone, but feel the pain on the side that the over-extension is occurringin the moment. In any direction though sssighh.
Whos this chick??
I have a torn lat though, but presents itself as shoulder pain and instability. Any suggestions @squatuniversity?
who is she?
a goat of pragmatic advice
Struggling with shoulder pain may be that he's never given his shoulder a rest or break. I have injured my shoulder a few times in trying to do too much. Here is the secret, don't stop exercise, just go down on weight and do high reps until your shoulder is back to normal. Never required a Dr.
I’m surprised he needed help, after all, Cage isn’t a man… HE’S A MACHINE!
Big shout to one of the dopest from the Lucha Underground!
Wasn't he A MACHINE??? 😂😂

All these exercises worsened my shoulder pain so for those that have issues, be careful with these
You're the man, thanks again. Doing the facepull with external rotation is great. Will be doing the banded ting today also
The man’s a beast!!! Both of y’all
I came for the thumbnail but stayed for the content (and the thumbnail😂).
I have a broken collar bone, and that causes shoulder pain in my right shoulder. What can I do?
Also proper dump covers is key!
Youre so skilful!
Coach thanks
