I just finished doing 2 sets of 20 reps, and i can already feel improvement(flexibility). I also read every reply in this 13 page thread.

And also learned a lot from these three articles which brought up other informative stuff like: "Feel better for 10 bucks"

I had to remove the links because i supposedly need to have 5 posts to be able to post links...

I have a question about this--

Suppose we have a little bit of soreness/pain in our rotator cuff and we are going to take a week or 2 off from upper body lifts. Can we do this stretch while we are resting the RC or should we start immediately? I don't particularly want to exacerbate my RC problem...

I suffer from the exact same thing as you bro and no matter what doctors or whoever says, if you dont at least stretch it and just leave it alone for 2 weeks it will get stiff and will only get worse, believe me.

I do it daily even when my shoulders are seriously inflamed

The shoulder stretch not only stretches but it pumps a lot of fresh blood into the area. Feels so good!!

DC thanks for the tip shoulder has been bothersome for a few weeks now. But this seems to help keep the KNOT out. Thanks again Double B

this feels so good..i have friends with bad shoulders back home. i can't wait to see how it works for them

I believe that is good as well because bursitis is an inflamation too on this same way that tendinitis.

I just tried this for the first time today. I have had some pain in my left shoulder lately and hopefully this will help me out. I could get my arms back but my grip was VERY wide with a beach towel, going to have to work my way up.

I've been having some problems with my traps and every time I do this my traps feel like they are going to explode. But i was wondering, should we start to up the reps cus the first time i did it i could only do 20, the next time, 50 with a few breaks, the time after that 50 strait thru, so should i stick with fifty or just keep going till my head explodes off of my shoulders?

This is a great post........ just seen this tip and gotta give it a go! I havent been able to squat for several years becuase of my shoulders are so tight. I've been doing hacks and everything else and the bigger I've gotten the less flexible I've become. Anyone else have problems getting their arms behind them to perform squats and if this movement will help my shoulders.

Well let me say, i tried this stretch WEDS and THURs i woke up with some soreness and discomfort... friday the discomfort increased and come SAT i was in horrible pain... i didnt know what to do, but when i woke up on SUN i was 100% back to normal with more range in my shoulder and better then ever... i dont know if its suppose to hurt for a little while and tehn improve but it did and i will continue this movement as i benefited doin it for a couple times

i have the oposite porblem with my shoulder my ligaments are loose and my shoulder is too flexible and has too much rom. will this help tightin my shoulder up and also will this work all of the smaller muscles around the shoulder also helping to tightin it up.

Mr Mac Mac

This sounds like the same problem that i have. There is no pain if you're just sitting around watching TV or something, but if you were to push down (like as if you were doing a dip) that's when the pain comes on??

Jarek42

Can anyone post a video or some picture to better illustrate how to do this? The first post isn't very clear and mentions a picture but there doesn't seem to be any.

hothotheet

Look on youtube. Search for "Matt Furey" and watch his "Combat Stretching" series.

Anyone have any quickfix exercises like this for the knees?

Just signed up to the forum to thank you so much for this DC, after banging my shoulder up last week in a game my shoulder has been absolutely killing me and my movement and strength has been pretty much gone...all I could do was bands and merely a few sets.
I started doing this lightly last night and today at the gym I could actually do some weighted excerises and not just bands..(after warming up with the excersise).

It took me so long to get the results that I have now (hard gainer) so this injury had me terrified that I would be back at scratch..thanks to you I have gotten my motivation back and hopefully within a few weeks I'll be back to the heavier weights I do want to add I didnt think it would make such a big impact but even sitting here at work my shoulder no longer feels like its just hanging there and raising it doesnt hurt as much..Im a believer !

Once again thank you !!!!

olb33

s ive been doing this now with a giant beach towel for about 8 months, that coupled with cissus has helped tremendously

Thanks Dante .. This is my first post .. I have had some shoulder discomfort for about 2 years now in my left shoulder doesnt really stop me from lifting heavy (heavy for me anyway). I just did about 25 of these that was all i could do the first time out and my shoulder feels much better.. Thanks again

Doggcrapp

I love hearing these posts---I know how anxious it can make you when you have a shoulder injury and your thinking "oh god how the heck am I going to train? Will I be able to train anymore?" It sucks

Im glad I could at least get the majority of you back on track here

thanks DC, good stuff. I've done this type of stretch as part of my martial arts training... really keeps the shoulders loose.

great post, ive got some pretty screwed up shoulders ( I wasnt able to move my right arm for 2 years AT ALL ) due to a fall at work , and this exercise is the ONLY thing that has restored the mobility and allows me to push without that "OMG my shoulder is gonna Implode" feeling . went on vacation for two weeks and didnt stretch but once or twice and my shoulder stiffened right back up . back at it every day agian and i feel great .

Thanks for the help .

I was doing dumbell press today, and my left shoulder began to give out, and POP as I was failing. My whole arm was moving forward a little as if failed. I have mild pain in left shoulder almost where it connects with the pec muscle. Is it serious? What can I do for it to heal fast and heal back to normal?
