    If you have a shoulder impingement caused by rounded shoulders, this video explains a training protocol I used to stretch my internal rotators and strengthen the external rotators and restore good posture to fix the problem. This worked for me after about 1-2 months of consistent training.
    One of the causes of shoulder impingement can be poor posture. We spend too much time leaning over computer keyboards, phones, steering wheels and other gadgets. This constant leaning and looking down tends to lengthen and shorten all the wrong muscles, leaving us with a forward head posture and rounded shoulders.
    When you start learning calisthenics (or any fitness with overhead pressing, like crossfit) and you've spent too much time doing office work, the muscular imbalances between external and internal rotators leads to a shortened space between the acromion and humeral head. The rotator cuff muscle tend to get pinched in that space during certain movements, and this is the pain you feel during your workouts.
    If you follow the foam rolling, stretching and strengthening protocol I explain in this video, you'll see that as your posture improves, the pain goes away. It's really that simple.
    I hope this video helps you as much as it helped me.

    With the myofascial work I’ve found it helps to focus on my breath. I try to imagine I’m “breathing out” the tension from the muscle.

    Great video! I am just curious, is there any reason why you do the chest (doorway) stretch one arm at a time, compared to just doing both at once? Is it to get a bigger stretch going?

      @MinusTheGym  Před 5 lety +1

      Matias Vaschetto sorry, I haven't dealt with that so I don't have any direct experience to share. I recommend seeing a physical therapist to make sure you don't have a rotator cuff tear. Once they confirm that, they will most likely prescribe rotator cuff exercises like internal rotations, external rotations, extensions and abductions, but definitely see a licensed professional.

  • @KevinBaughen
    @KevinBaughen Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks for sharing. I do indeed have tendon pain and want to try these to help alleviate it but what I'd really appreciate is a few thoughts on just how we are supposed to do these, plus the stretching, plus the rotator cuff exercises plus our calorie-burning and muscle building exercises at least four times a week. How much time do we need to have to actually see any benefits? I'm not being facetious, I just genuinely have 1.5 hours per day -maybe up to 5 times per week - to fit in some exercise to ensure that my business, my mental health and my marriage all stay at the levels I want them to be at.... any thoughts from anyone here, gratefully received. Thanks.

    • @Candolad
      @Candolad Před 2 lety

      I'd give it at least 12 weeks, 3 times a week to feel improvements. It's important to realise that less is more rather than doing too many sessions of these exercises. Slow, consistent application is better as it'll be working with the body and not rushing against its optimal healing ability.

      Tina Parker lay off any exercises that are causing you shoulder pain and revisit them (gently) every couple weeks to see if the impingement is improving.

    Hi, I just wanted to ask you how many pull ups you could do in one shot before your 1 month 100 pushups/pullups? Because you only said you got 21 after that.
    Thanks !

    • @MinusTheGym
      @MinusTheGym  Před 5 lety

      Ahmed Brahimi I was maxing out at 15 reps when I started the challenge. So I went up 6 reps. Also worth noting, my reps were not "strict," meaning I didn't go all the way down into a dead hang at the bottom. My reps were fast and not 100% full ROM. My endurance increased dramatically with that challenge though. It was awesome and I plan on doing it again.

    Typical broscience.
    Shoulder pain/impingement got nothing to do with poor posture. It comes from muscle tightness. i have pretty poor posture myself (forward neck as demonstrated in this video) and rolled forward shoulders, but i dont have any shoulder pain...
    Also none of the stretches showed in this video are effective to relieve the shoulders. you are just stretching the pectorals/neck muscle this way.
    doing rotattor cuff exercices won't help either. sorry.
    But your videos are nicely made, too bad you dont know your subject
