    I suffer from chronic migraines that for some reason often start in my left shoulder and then move up to the left side of my head. For the past 2 months I've been doing these 'warm ups' almost every day when I feel pain in my shoulder, and miraculously it's often got rid of, or reduced the shoulder pain. This has meant that the pain in my shoulder doesn't always turn into a migrain, which it always would! I have felt so grateful for this video in helping to reduce my migraines, or at least the severity, that I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!

      @Akash Raghav I use the 'lightest' (15lbs - 35lbs) band in a set of latex Teknifit resistance bands I bought on Amazon. I'm sure a similar product would work fine too.

      I recently saw a video about this exact problem on Bob and Brad. Can't remember fully what it was about, just remember that it was not a problem with the shoulder but more about the neck . But maybe I am just schizo and can't remember stuff clearly.

    I can't believe how helpful it is. My left shoulder felt weak and the trap muscles often came to the rescue while doing dumbbell curls. After performing these stretches, I definitely felt my left scapular and lower traps muscles getting activated much more than the right. Eventually, it helped eliminate the involvement of trap muscles during dumbbell curls. Thank you so much.

    Thank You, Squat Uni. Just started doing these 3 warn up exercise morning/lunch/bedtime with press up's inbetween after finding this channel, I've found my shoulder range of motion has improved (painful at first though). Quick question, can pectoral strecth help with shoulder mobility to improve doing press up's & bench presses.

    Ok so with the external rotations I feel pain through the right shoulder, in or under the anterior deltoid. This is a fairly long term ‘niggle’ dating back to competing in triathlon and unilateral breathing. Doesn’t affect my bench, but it does OHP. Feel it with the banded ‘w’ I’ve seen you recommended too! #squatUclub

    I was under the impression that you’re supposed to execute those exercises after a workout to avoid fatiguing rotator cuffs which would be dangerous under a heavy load like bench press.

  • @wvvwwwvvw

    Thanks, Aaron. I believe this shoulder warmup routine is also suitable for the bench press, as it gets the back warmed up. But do the pecs need any sort of priming before performing the lift? I really wonder.
