I love this video. This is where the westside conjugate system shines. Overuse injuries happen to strong people when they don't rotate lift variations very often. Rotating lifts is imo the best tool for joint health. The basic principle is that you practice what you suck at. When you try the easier comp lift again it will be stronger. 1-5 variations is a good start. Lift heavy on a given lift until it stalls out then .....rotate. low bar to SSB., Wide Grip to close, Swiss Bar to straight bar, pause to touch and go, neutral to underhand Grip, etc. Get decent at a handful of lift variations and you'll be a better lifter across many positions. Just make sure it's not too far from your comp form. Thanks for the wisdom
Great video. Very helpful.
I'm alternating SSB and Buffalo bars and my shoulder pain has GONE!
Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Amen. I could not for the life of me get under the bar for squats a week ago due to right shoulder pain. Could have used that fancy mars bar!
Spamming seal rows and band pull aparts fixed my shoulders. Need to develop the upper back
Grant, I had shoulder pain 3 months ago while doing squat or press too. I went to a PT and she told me there are a whole bunch of muscles on the shoulder joint that go all the way down to the lats. She said my right lats were lower than the left and so it was pulling on my shoulder joint. She recommended a bunch of exercises to align the lats. But then she recommended I foam roll the back of my shoulder joint and work on any points that are very sore. The more I felt sore on a particular spot the more to work on those. Now I do that before I begin the workout and the pain slowly went away. So there are a couple of lessons there. Foam roll regularly, especially where it feels sore. A good PT is invaluable. Take an appt. As you feel something is wrong and isnt going away after couple of workouts. Don't make it worse. I think in your case the rest helped but perhaps a PT intervention may have shortened that period considerably. Thanks for sharing the video.
Had the same issue with shooting pain from low bar. I couldnt do the press or bench. Got a Marrs bar and now im doing well again. I highly recommend that bar.
Look into BPC 157 and TB 500. It’s served me and others well. Keep grinding, love your grit
Have you tried the buffalo bar?
I had a similar issue I aggravated by benching. I used to EliteFTS SS Bar, but I was still having pain in the bench. I switched back to using the regular low bar squat with a wider grip and adjusting my thumb on the grip. For the bench, I used the red EliteFTS shoulder saver, and the pain went away.
For me, the pain was constantly aggravated at the bottom of the bench. If you are having shoulder pain, I would suggest taking a $35 flyer and add the shoulder saver to your bench. I found the safety squat bars limited progress on my squat. Now all my numbers are back to approaching my PRs prior to the injury.
Thanks Grant. I've had shoulder problems the entire time I've been a Strength Co. client. I've used the Top Squat attachment & focused on other movements. Recently I widened my grip on my Bench Press; I will try bringing the grip in close - sees if that helps.
Thnks for sharing your experience
My pleasure
No kidding it's the silly low bar squat. My shoulder hurts more when I'm done squatting than when I'm done pressing.
Hand positioning my friend
I have the same issue right now, decided to give squats a break for 2 weeks then fix my form as best I can.
What have you done to fix your issue out of curiosity
@@usmanullah332 Stretch. Also, I find it easier to place the bar lower on the rack. Put it one hole lower than you have it now and you will see you can get the bar to sit lower with almost no added discomfort.
@@LibertyGardenthanks for the reply and advice. I will give that a try in a week or so 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I too have issues with my shoulders while squatting. I have now decided to replace it with a prowler for 2 weeks …
But moving forward, good recommendation not to do it 3 times a week maybe 2 is enough and on workout 3 alternate with another exercise
At a certain age you absolutely have to listen to your body. Shoulders, knees, and ankles can take a lot of abuse on the front nine of life. Gotta recognize the difference between pain that you can train through and pain that you should train around. Like you, the Marrs bar has been critical for me to give my 50 year old shoulders the break they need while still moving weight. Swiss bar for bench and a lot of band work on warm up also helped a lot. I hope this is all behind you!
