yeah my shoulders totally suck. maybe you can give me some pointers lol
i'm 45 . i've had 1 injury in my whole life and that was a wrist. i train for looks not strength
I do an *annoying* amount of banded mobility work for my shoulders. I even have a day dedicated to stretching and movements lol. It's not fun but I used to be riddled with pain.
I played video games my whole life and sat on my ass and got fat. I wasn't athletic at all.
Then when I graduated I got tired of being fat and I started working out. I got strong and big quite quickly. I was benching 315 within my first 6 months. But this wrecked my joints and I had all sorts of immobilization problems.
I now no longer have those problems. Chris Duffin and Kelly Starrett videos on mobility have helped me and a lot of pain riddled athletes a ton.
Stan Efferding was going to have surgery on his hip, but was told to do mobility work instead. 6 months later, he didn't have to have surgery and went on to squat around 900lbs with no pain.
Mobility and A.R.T work is highly over-looked and under-valued.
It's a big reason why this generations Powerlifters are doing more weight than the last generations, with no pain.
