squat_universityShoulder impingement pain is one of the common injuries athletes sustain. If you have pain on the front/lateral part of your shoulder with the test (shown upper left), your pain may be due to this type of problem���� . This problem in athletes can be due to poor posture, lack of dynamic stability (coordination) or muscle imbalances (rotator cuff weakness). This causes the humerus (arm bone) to rotate off its center axis & push into different tissues, leading to eventual pain ❌ . The banded exercises shown below (called the upper extremity matrix at @boostsportskc) is a great exercise to help restore this strength & coordination. Perform 2 sets of 10 movements up, out and down as shown. Let your arm move back to the start position SLOWLY. This will lead to a good fatigue in the outside of the shoulder✅ & should NOT cause pain❌ . If this does not help decrease pain, also look at shoulder blade (scapula) positioning & thoracic spine mobility as movement problems/stiffness in both can lead to impingements as well . As always, these corrective exercises are to help with minor aches & pains that occur during barbell training. If you have a serious injury or have been dealing with pain for a long time, I always recommend going to get checked out by a medical practitioner. _________________________________ Squat University is the ultimate guide to realizing the strength to which the body is capable of.

It's very normal to have impingements those movements agustinchirie@squat_university Hey doc! (marty mclfyy style) haha just kidding. Ive hading this pain for such long time, specially after training sessions that included snatchs and snatch pulls. I realize that my pain cause was having less internal rotation in my left arm than in my right one (also screened this on the mirror comparing both arms i. r.) The thing now is, how can i improve this in my left arm? Is there any exercise? squat_university@agustinchirie love the reference - and I'm not a huge fan of giving out internal rotation mobility often as the large majority of athletes I see already have too much motion in their shoulders & often develop pain due to other reasons. It's actually normal for many to develop an apparent lack of mobility in internal rotation on one side vs the other especially if you've played any throwing sport before like baseball.
