Episode notes
Check Training Volume
- Always consider training volume when athletes experience anterior shoulder pain during horizontal pressing.
- Look for recent spikes in training, like increased bench press frequency or new exercise additions.
Load Rotator Cuff
- Load the rotator cuff, especially the sensitive parts, to build strength and tolerance.
- Use manual muscle tests to identify the more sensitive areas and bias loading towards them.
Bench Press Elbow Angle
- Adjust elbow angle during bench press to alleviate anterior shoulder pain.
- Aim for a 45-degree humerus angle relative to the torso, creating an "arrow" shape, not a "T."
