This is the first time in a very long time I have increased my velocity on my throws while being in season. I still have labral problems, which will most likely need to be surgically repaired after the season, but this stretch has significantly reduced the pain in my throwing shoulder this spring. So from New York, I thank you.

Update: I am willing to credit this stretch alone to the fact that I will not need a surgical labral reconstruction this summer, which will give me more time to lift and eat without going through rehab. Again, thank you.

DC,

Decided to give your exercise a try because I have a small bump on my left shoulder. I think it is a type I AC separation. I have also had rot cuff problems in the past but working my rear delt areas before every shoulder or chest workout has helped with that.

Anyhow, I have done the exercise only twice and I did about 5 full repititions both times.

The results for the shoulder were very good. My shoulder afterwards felt fine at the main joint, my rot cuffs were fine, and the auth that I get occassionally was non-existant.

The only bad thing I noticed was that I had some discomfort in the collarbone(clavical) area on both sides. Could I be doing something wrong? I am weary of continuing the exercise becuase the colarbone is a sensitive area? Please advise and thanks in advance for the help. Just so you'll know...I was using about a 7ft 2 inch PVC pipe with a wide grip.

try using a towel opr sheet first, then working your way up to a stick. a towel or sheet has much more give and will allow you to slowly gain that flexibility back

Your not the only teen out there with fucked shoulders bro. I'm 18 and i have rot tendonitis in both shoulders. All pushing and pulling movements pretty much make my shoulders feel like shit. But DC's shoulder cure really helped my recovery so the pain only flares up when i do any kind of strenuous upper body movement with my arms. I've been taking anti inflams(naproxen) and applying icy hot to the area along with doing dc's stretch as many times a day as possible with a stretch band and recovery keeps getting better. Now to figure out if i should just go back into light upper body movements and push through the little annoying pain or drop any kind of upper body lifting all together.

Dante,
someone mentioned this before here - does something similar exist for knee problems? thanks - labrat

Nuttte · 07-25-2006, 05:09 PM

Anyone cured a supraspinatustendinos with this exercise?

drinu · 08-16-2006, 08:44 AM

i have like 2 small bones coming out of my top shoulder exactly situated were the trapezius end so its on top of the shoulder one doesn't hurt but i feel that the 1 on the right hurts alot does any one know what they could be , they told me that it could be artritis in the bone , could it be the case ,

rick1flo · 08-20-2006, 11:37 PM

thats all good, i just tried that and the stretch is really good . I did it with a towel and i felt it. thanx

knowledge24 · 09-22-2006, 07:15 PM

Anybody with a torn labrum doing these exercises?

HK4 · 09-25-2006, 06:49 PM

IF it hurts, you know the difference between good hurt and bad hurt dont do it.

Ive had some shoulder issues in the past, torn cartridge type issues and can do these without much pain. Its a good hurt personally.

I have this too ! Fuck I look like an alien

Somebody knows what this is ?

dellsguy67 · 10-11-2006, 11:29 PM

i never thought i would have to post in this thread, but here i am.....

i was on my honeymoon last week, and the massage therapist was doing some deep tissue work, and they asked if it was ok to do some stretches w/ my upper back/shoulders.....FYI, if you are asked this, telling them to fuck off is ok.

so ever since then, it has felt like a railroad spike has been driven through each shoulder. iron addict has me doing some individual shoulder work as mandatory practice w/ my workouts, but i am using this too - it hurts like hell, but i can see where it will speed things along. i'm also using menthol, but 12% is the best i could find.

this is good stuff dante

dellsguy67 · 10-12-2006, 09:59 AM

Update - after the broomstick work, advil, and menthol, i'm in about the worst pain i can imagine today - i did the stuff last night.

i think i need to get an odor free menthol for when i go to work. obviously it won't be as potent, but still, it's better than nothing at all. i also plan to hit the advil for another day or two, but the shoulders hurt for the 1st time ever.

TheUnlikelyHERO · 10-14-2006, 11:15 AM

Hi DC and everyone else,

I've been having some cracking in my right shoulder for the past couple of weeks and I started doing this stretch lightly, as much as possible. However, my problem is that I had surgery on my right shoulder 4 years ago, so for me to do the stretch correctly, and have them "dislocate" could risk tearing everything that my surgery gave me, like all the pins and staples that are in there because I dislocated like 15 times my junior year of high school. Am I still able to do this you think?

2ndShifter · 10-15-2006, 10:22 PM

Can someone please post a picture of this stretch? At points in this thread people make reference to a picture of video of this stretch. But I can't find it anywhere. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please point me to where I can see what this stretch looks like? It looks like it will be very helpful, and I want to get it exactly right. Thanks!

ps: dont move ur arms as much as me. i did it with a cloth. id normally do this with a broom stick where my grip stays firm. i did this when i dislocated both my shoulders (not right away) and it helped a LOT

2ndShifter · 10-21-2006, 08:54 PM

Hey! Thank you very much for the link to that video, Sentinel. I'm sorry I couldn't reply sooner. I didn't have much chance to get on the computer this past week.

But your video was extremely helpful, and I now have a great idea of how to do this stretch/movement. Thanks, again, buddy. You're a big help! : )

drinu · 10-23-2006, 08:52 AM

is this good for Bursites too ??

Curious, any shoulder surgery people out there use this religously with positive gains? I am about to have my shoulder capsules tightened/torn labrums repaired and i think this is the perfect exercise to get my mobility back although i think its going to be painful as fuck even after im well into therapy.

luquillo78 · 10-23-2006, 05:07 PM

I'm starting this excersice today. I've been suffering shoulder pain for 1 month. Not very hard pain, but I can't bench heavy because it gets worse.

Thanks for the post.
