I'm certainly a little late but I'm going to give this a try.

Like an ass, I decided to listen to what everyone says and do heavy benching... I've hated flat bench from the beginning and it only aggravated my shoulder even more. This really pumps blood into the cuffs.

When I understand DC training a little more and start a journal, I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes. This looks really promising.

There is no better exercise than this one for shoulders. I have been doing it for many years as part of my Yoga/Stretching routine. The only additional instructions I would add is to inhale as you move arms up and exhale as you move them down. Make it very conscious and slow process. Just to keep arms straight is not enough; try to create the max distance between your shoulders and a towel/broomstick at any point of the movement. Also mind your lower back, it should be straight at all times, do not arch it. For really deep stretch when doing narrowest grip you can pause at the back side at shoulder blades level for as long as you can relaxing your shoulder muscles and pushing the towel away from you. Your whole chest and shoulder areas should go into very deep relaxed stretch. Over time you will feel much less pain and very good sensation in this position.

GETSWOLE09 · 01-11-2007, 03:15 PM

im a new member and have had left shoulder pain whenever benching and have not been able to incline bench because of this. Hope this exercise helps my shoulder. Also do you do this after or before you wokout you chest or shoulders. Do you do it everyday also.

luquillo78 · 01-18-2007, 04:24 PM

I've been doing it for 3 months already. Shoulder is better but I still can't bench. I can do dips and lateral raises. I'll keep doing it and see what happens.

Crimson Ghost · 01-26-2007, 03:44 PM

Nice video Sentinel! Your range of motion is great, once I get overhead it all binds up for me....

Anyway, I have known about this execise for years, ever since Dante came out with it. No clue why I never did these but I will from now on.

For the past year or so I've had pain in my left shoulder. Any chest exercise, shoulder exercise, basically any pressing movement hurts like mad. In the past few months it's gotten so bad that it hurts when I'm at work or just sitting around. The pain radiates from my left scapula, into my left tricep and rear delt, throughout the medial and anterior delts and into my collarbone. I've had RC issues before but this is 100% different. On top of the pain, the clicking and popping from doing most type of everyday movement is really annoying. Some of the clicking and popping isn't the sharp type of snapping sound like cracking your knuckles. It's more like a deep "thud" coming from inside my shoulder.

About a month ago I started taking Motrin/ Ibuprofen/ Aleve daily, thinking it would relieve some inflammation and pain. I never noticed anything from it and I really hate taking anything for that long. I was reading everything I could on shoulder injuries and was convinced I had tendonitis or bursitis in my shoulder. Now I don't think that's it at all because some of the symptoms for those are pain sleeping on the afflicted shoulder and I can sleep on my shoulder all night. After getting fed up with the pain, the clicking and not being able to lift chest/ shoulders and sometimes triceps, I decided to come back to this thread. Why did I wait this long?

On Wednesday night of this week I started doing these stretches. I think I only got through 20 of them and I even had to split them up in sets. When I woke up yesterday my shoulder felt great. I'd say I had about 30% more range of motion, 80% less pain and about 60% less popping and clicking than the previous day. I did the exercises again last night and today I even feel better!

So, unless you have REALLY jacked up shoulders, I think you should give these a try. They work extremely well and surprisingly quick. I will do these several times a week for the rest of my life now.

THANKS DANTE!!!

thanks....but i suffer from severely lost shoulder joints so i wont be doing these stretches again...however, they do serve their purpose

ausjc · 02-03-2007, 12:16 AM

Great exercise, coupled with some internal/external rotations it's great for shoulder rehab.

gocamels · 02-03-2007, 07:51 PM

This exercise, along with Ken O'Neill's rotator cuff rehab workout, has really helped my shoulder.

anyone with postive feedbacks?

luquillo78 · 02-27-2007, 03:57 PM

This is my 4th month since injury. I've been doing this excercise once a week. I started doing light pressings "around" the pain. Basically no flat benching, but I'm now doing dips and shoulder presses heavy again. Last workout started also with very light bench.

My conclusion is that the best thing you peolple with mild tendonitis can do is stop pressing and start this stretches. After 3 months resting start VERY light around the pain and continue with the stretches.

takedown · 03-18-2007, 05:26 PM

do u know if these can help me i have a seperated shoulder,im going to pt and also doing shoulder band workouts on my own,i just dont want to hurt it ,it was a type 2 by the way

craig57 · 03-26-2007, 03:26 AM

some people think it's freaky how flexible my shoulder joint is now, thanks.

priest7 · 03-28-2007, 10:43 PM

i was wonderng, when i do this exercize my shoulder cracks alot.. and thats the real problem lately with my shoulder, no pain lately.. just alot of cracking and I can't sleep on them cause I wake up with really bad pain through them. it won't hurt my shoulders anymore from cracking will it? i had to stop lifting several times over the past 2 years due to shoulder problems, i need a permanent solution or a temporary that lasts longer then a month -.-

priest7 · 03-29-2007, 11:17 AM

alright, little update from yesterday..

i took a sheet and used electrical tape and made one of these contraptions haha, i did 50 repetitions and by the end of it my shoulders felt great.. nice pump in arms and forearms and traps, and also in shoulders at the end there was no cracking at all barely and when i woke up i had no shoulder pain for the first time in 2 weeks. im going to continue you to do this on a regular basisi
