In today's video, I demonstrate the 3 best ways to warmup your shoulders before heavy push workouts.
0:00 Intro
0:43 Exercise 1 Increasing Shoulder External Rotation
01:21 Exercise 2 Use Your Knee For Shoulder Rotation With Leverage
02:10 Exercises 3 Internal And External Shoulder Rotation
02:53 Conclusion
The shoulder is stabilized by a group of muscles called the rotator cuff. When pressing big weight on a bench, we're primarily strengthening our anterior deltoids (front of the shoulder) to overpower the rotator cuff, pulling on the humerus (shoulder bone) and causing pain.
Doing a simple shoulder warm up prior to a heavy push workout will prevent injuries—especially for us older adults haha. I never start my chest, shoulder or back training without first performing these 3 rotator cuff warm up exercises (or similar exercises).
Leave a comment letting me know if these exercises are improving your shoulder pain.
Again, please—I can't stress this enough—always warm up your muscles before strength training!
Remember, Stay Young and Train Hard!
