Wales strongest man 2012 Member 548, 1197 posts SQ 300, BP 195, DL 360855.0 kgs @ 128kgs Eq | just read this on powerlifting uk and thought it'd be good read for a few of the guys on here as i know i've been suffering with this for years and i know kingham has had problems with it Shoulder inpingement/bicep tendonitis cure - Taken from Dante Trudel Found this and thought I'd post it considering the number of posts in logs complaining of shoulder problems. This is said to cure shoulder issues 90% of the time, so may be worth a go. The author is a bodybuilder but he is a strong mofo and I think around 500lbs raw on bench and trains a lot of very very strong guys. HOW TO CURE SHOULDER PROBLEMS (Trust me this will do it 90% of the time) Dante Trudel IntenseMuscle.com With a large towel or broomstick I want you to hold it with straight arms for the entire time of what i describe in the following movement--a large "rolled up like a rope" beach towel works good but honestly a longer broomstick (without the bristles) works best in my opinion. Start out with it with a really wide grip (with straight arms) in front of you (on your quads) and with straight arms bring it up and overhead and then down and back to the middle of your back--STRAIGHT ARMS ALL THE WAY--this is going to be very difficult and hard the first couple times out and then will be "old hat" with time----and its going to be painful in a stretching pump kind of way---i want 50 reps each time you do this--one repetition is from in front of your face (all with straight arms) to up overhead and back, and then down all the way to the middle of your back and then back up overhead to in front of your face again (again all with straight arms)--the important part of the movement is the area overhead that is really tight--do all of this carefully/slowly---dont just whip it over and back---if your hand is slipping off the broomstick even with the widest grip, or you cant bring your arms over straight and the start bending on you, you have some serious shoulder inflexibility and need to work this hard and get up to speed (or you could just need a longer broomstick too)--again do all of these revolutions controlled and carefully--push into the stretch as you go along toward the 50 revolutions, your chest will be pushing outward and your shoulders rolling back--your shoulders are going to blow up with so much blood its going to be incredibly painfull pumpwise--Do this once a day at nite as many times a week as you can---sometimes I have people do it every single day---but every time you do it try to move your grip inward (thats the key)----its going to be very hard to do but try your best to move your grip inward for the next 2-4 weeks and your range of motion with shoulders will increase dramatically and any impingement and the majority of other problems should be gone in 2 weeks--also try to move your grip in as you are doing the 50 revolutions--start off with a stretching but relatively easy 10 to warm up some, then try to move your grip in even by a centimeter if you can for the next 20 revolutions and then at 30 try to move the grip in another centimeter--really try to push what you can do stretchwise once your warmed up here--trust me this sounds easy but your going to be muttering "f**k you dante" after you get to your 25th revolution--Ive cured too many shoulder problems with this simple movement now its pretty ridiculous, and this and a menthol rub applied liberally daily and before sleep has cured alot of shoulder/bicepital tendonitis in trainees ---Heres a pic attached to this post so you can get an idea (thanks to a trainee of mine who cured his shoulders with this)--but remember the broomstick goes overhead and all the way back to the middle of the back (he just drew the start of the movement when you begin) | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | He is just describing a basic dislocation right? Or am I missing something? I thought everyone knew to do dislocations? Even if just to loosen off pre workout. Bands work well here too btw. Whichever you do, keep constant tension on the bar/towel/band. Straight after a shower is much better than last thing at night. | ||

Straight after a shower is much better than last thing at night. Unfortunately Oli, not enough people know about shoulder prehab (until it becomes PREHAB) and general shoulder flexibility. Dislocations are good. I sometimes just do them with a bath towel at home. I started doing over head squats as well this week. My shoulders are terriably inflexible my own fault as I dont keep on top of them | ||

Cleverer than YOU Member 1228, 1046 posts | Worked for me, should probably start doing them again good rehab along with rotator cuff work, used a broom stick, hard to bring grip in esp if very tight in the shoulder girdle, really works in loosening it and hence eliminates the impingement. | ||

Member 1380, 182 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 260670.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I have the had this problem since last July when I pulled my shoulder doing cleans.My physio in Leeds gave me three exercises to do with the broom handle.Do 10 reps as per the first post but only to head height,wide grip and move bar to overhead.Second was hold broom handle with shoulder width grip in front of thighs and push with the opposite hand to the affected shoulder and push till you can raise your arm to shoulder height and above,ie sideways movement to injured shoulder.The third one is hold broom handle behind your back and do the stretch away from body ie. front delt stretch.10 reps per stretch to start with and then try for more as you get better,but never push too far or you could reinjure the shoulder, It has taken me nearly 17 months to get back to the weights I was benching and pressing then.At one point I could not press a 20kg bar without agony,and now I am back to 140kg bench, and today cleaned and pressed 80kg for the first time since last July.These 3 stretches worked great for me and I still do them as part of my routine. | ||
