max creating a very small acute angle at your shoulders ..this works well for both the superman exercise / as well as for the lateral deltoid raise in a winged fashion to work on the medial delts…doing it till the delts are isolated creating a very small angle by raising the palm to 3-4 inches…lower traps are secondary muscles involved as far as this movement is concerned
about the superman …
about the superman exercise it does apparently seem as it might put the shoulder in the impingement zone , although imagine doing the superman in a lateral/side raising manner the kind you would see when people work on their medial deltoid muscles then it does push the shoulders on the impingement zone, trick is don’t hyperextend it beyond the point where you can feel your deltoids (ant/med/post) being isolated, which can be done by just lifting your plam to 3-4 inches (depends arm length)
How often should we …
How often should we do them? Daily or once in a few days?
I have a question …
I have a question about the superman exercise. isnt this putting the shoulder ‘in’ the impingement zone?
I cant understand how the lower traps are working when hands are overhead. thanks

Setfree is right, a surgeon will operate straight away jumping at the chance to make a couple of thousand. get some deep tissue work done.

Thank you for being nice.. I see your point.
The whole point is …
The whole point is you want someone with experience to assess the state of your shoulder. Just knowing it hurts and has problems isn’t the same as knowing why and what the actual state is. Just wanting to jump into surgery is absurd. Go see a therapist… isn’t the health of your shoulder worth at least that much? A therapist assessment will cost far less than time on a surgeons clock…. you might come away pleasantly surprised what a good therapist can do for your shoulder.

Miss .. I’m looking for reasons why I should go to therapy. I want to view diffrent opinions on why I should Go.can it really make a diffrence or is it a waste of my time and money? Maybe I can do the exercises at home. thats why I was viewing all the different sites and asking the questions. Why do you care what I do on youtube?
Dude you’ve posted …
Dude you’ve posted the same message on numerous shoulder rehab videos. Your problem is keyboarditis… get away from keyboard. YouTube isn’t going to help your shoulder.

Seriously…if you went to therapy and actually worked to strengthen the imbalances and dealt with the problem you find you might not need surgery. But with your attitude… it sounds like your a surgeons wet dream. Also… learn how to spell ‘therapy’.
I am scared to …
I am scared to death of therepy. I just know they are going to accidently pop my shoulder out.. because its so easy to do. If I put a coat on too quickly.. it pops out. If anyone put extra weight from the front of my shoulder.. it will pop out. And everytime I have a siezure it will pop out. My Dr wants me to go to therepy..and it makes me mad. I just need the surgery. Iknow it.
hi there,
wat u …
hi there,
wat u can try to do is to deround your shoulder, which means u swing your shoulder backwards or else brace your shoulder blades i.e., try to bring your shoulder blades closer as you can.
i believe you might’ve got rounded shoulders which irriates and may lead to rotator cuff injuries.
you may try the above exercises in the video, will see how it works
thats odd cause i …
thats odd cause i can bench more with my shoulders back. i find it gives u more leverage, and in a way it shortens your arms(opposed to rolling your shoulders forwards) therefore the range of motion.
i would just say …
i would just say that when you bench press and stuff, keep your shoulders back. what i would do is roll my shoulders forward for a few extra pounds and thats what sent my RC over the edge
I’ve had a left(L) …
I’ve had a left(L)shoulder(S) prob for 2 yrs now. my LS is pulled forward from over-exercising the chest. Can’t do any L side lateral raises or rear delts or back. I feel no pain but constant discomfort. Every time i workout my L S it feels like nothings happening.. can anyone help me out?
hey dude i have the …
hey dude i have the same prob as you i think. Had it for years started from incorrect weight training. My prob is that my shoulders don’t feel the same. right s. is ok but left s. i can’t do any lateral raises and rear delts plus my shoulder looks as if it doesn’t have 3 delts just 2. front and side. any suggestions?
I’ve also heard …
I’ve also heard that a shoulder horn exercise can help build RC strength and add lbs to my bench press. I hope that using your exercises w/ light weights will strengthen my RC for benching and military presses.
I have a bad RC and …
I have a bad RC and my heavy bench presses were really aggravating it. The next day it felt really sore and even lifting my arm up to change a cd in the car hurt. I tried two of these exercises and felt the stretch in my RC. It feels so much better, thank you for posting this video. 5 stars!

try eastern medicine as well as western practices……..take the herb supplement known as “bromelain” daily to reduce infalmmation in the muscle/skeltal system………do TONS of research, i dislocated my shoulder bad and im desperately trying to heal/strengthen it without surgery…..good luck everyone…pray hard
dude i have had …
dude i have had shoulder problems for like 3 years now and the severity varies depending on what im up to at the time. i was so close to just having surgery but always felt in the back of my mind that it was not a good idea. i think im gonna send you a messege i have alot to say.
I have been having …
I have been having slight cracking in my rotator cuffs, and a slight discomfort feeling, not exactly pain. It just feels like my shoulder is going to pop out when doing heavy row exercises. Will these exercises help make my RC feel normal again? thanks!
IT has gotten …
IT has gotten almost unbareable consider I now have considerable irratation nearly on a daily basis and using a mouse for long peroids of time. Im sure it isnt a tear but i feel im awaiting one some day. I would seek treatment but i can not afford it at this time. Any advice would be apprcaited.

Sir, I am a 22 year old college student with i beleive impingment or bursitis or the like, it originally started while weightlifting in high school and would subside during breaks. It would generally come off and on as I would start up and stop lifting. Now i do not weight lift and it has only gotten worse. I have tried all types of exercises and they all seem to inflame my shoulder.
