    labrum tear. The result of listening to trainers and fitness 'scientists'

    You should never push range of motion with maximal load on a ball joint, you should listen to people that lift fake weights about how to protect your shoulder by developing the surrounding muscles.

    Overhead pressing, especially with a barbell, is one of the worst things you can do to your shoulder. Neutral grip dumbbells are much safer. You probably shouldn't do any overhead pressing to begin with. It's a movement we weren't naturally doing when we evolved.

        It is simply not needed for survival. If you can come up with a reason we would need to press things over our head to improve our survival rate, I'm listening. We certainly need pulls and pushes, but specifically pushing things over our head was not advantageous which is why there are a plethora of injuries associated with placing the arms above the head

            Swinging from trees / climbing is using a totally different set of muscles, good job understanding basic muscle physiology.

            Throwing and sports that utilize throws are known to cause shoulder injury.

                Golfer's elbow associated with pulls is nowhere near as prevalent as rotator cuff injuries associated with overhead pressing.

                Moreover, the underlying injury physiology is much different. You can recover from golfer's elbow with no surgical intervention. You tear your labrum and surgery is the only way to repair it and if you don't get surgery you are exponentially more likely to get arthritis as the bone wears the cartilage away like a cheese grater.

            Hanging from trees and swinging distracts the joint and pressing compresses it. That said, overhead pressing is good as long as it is within the scapular plane. Dumbells and kettlebells or workman presses of odd objects are fine

      This is moronic. I had a grade 2 sprain of my ac joint and nothing helped for months until I decided to do the bill Starr rehab. 3x25 overhead press with a barbell and then slowly worked the weights up and reps down until I was ohp 225 at 220bw. Halfway through the process the shoulder pain went away and it’s never come back. I press a 5x5 every week now. A strong shoulder is a healthy shoulder

        Agreed. Had two shoulder surgeries for labrum issues on the same shoulder and the best way I've protected it is by building up muscle around it. My shoulder's ROM is toast from the surgerjes but I never thought behind the neck pressing was a good idea anyways

        There are safer ways to build the shoulder than pressing overhead.

        Lateral raises will work the medial delt, rows the posterior, and any kind of bench press or dip or push up will work the anterior delt.

        You can then work your scapular muscles doing something like facepulls.

          That "paper" is for the fat boomers in the workforce. I don't disagree that overhead work is inherently less safe than other alternatives but saying it doesn't build your shoulders is stupid. I think there's also major psychological benefits to building strength in inherently vulnerable positions like overhead-- you're not scared to use your shoulders if you can rep 225 ohp

            There is no reason to ohp in the first place, so to be able to 225 ohp is a meaningless endeavor other than to be able to lift 225 lbs over your head. You are risking your long term health for absolutely zero reason.

            U r dumb, or in denial. There is no point in doing anything overhead unless it's stretching. I've fixed my bum shoulders after 20 years of misery by throwing out bench and stowing away barbell. Close neutral grip pushups ( i do 60 slowly) and there is no name for the other thing that helped. It's bent over lateral raised with a twist out at the top but u gotta make it so that weight lies solely on triceps. If u notice that is the function of rear delt. 25 lbs for 30. When measured legs put down 25 lbs - that is how low palms are during said pushups.

          Lateral raises are not very safe, a lot of torsion laterally, even with small weights, is hard since the farther the weight is from the body, the more torsion you get, you can just injure your elbows with that. Just overhead press with your elbow in front of you.

            That is why i say u shoud do motion that resembles pushing yourself through courains. Back and turn thumb up at the top, very little to the sides. I AM the inventor. That is the function of rear delt, was forced to do sth about said raises because cep tendonitis would not go away. Hold weight entirely in triceps is the que. U are welcome.

            i don't think you understand the underlying physiology of torsion forces especially in the way that you are trying to describe them.

            You don't seem to understand what fulcrums are. Since the fulcrum is your shoulder joint, very little load is transferred in the way you are talking about.

            How people injure their shoulder is almost exactly what you described, but the torsion forces are opposite and the stabilizers of the shoulder (infra and supraspinatus) are not able to stabilize the joint under load.

            There's a difference between a load being applied directly to the joint through gravity, that is the load being above your shoulder joint, and a load that is distal to the shoulder that the muscles are lifting and not lifting high enough to put load on the joint itself. In both cases muscles are stabilizing the joint, with the difference being your strongest muscles in the joint (delts) stabilizing the lateral raise and your weaker muscles in the joint (scap muscles) stabilizing the OHP. Does this mean that a lateral raise is 100% safe? no, you can still develop things like bursitis if you push too far up with too much weight.

        Your shoulder got better because you were working with high reps butthole.
        High reps promote bloodflow to the worked area wich enhances recovery.
        What you said that a strong shoulder is a healthy shoulder is true but is not because you were doing ohp, is because you were doing high reps and slowly increased the weight, you can do it with any exercise and as long as you follow that protocol bof doing high reps and increase the weight, your shoulder will get better.
        Is hilarious to me when people credit or blame an exercise and not how they did it, shows that you have no fricking idea what you just did and you think you know your shit when you don't even understand why it worked thinking it was because you were ohp.

      open chain shoulder movements.

      Rows should be good once you heal, but anything that loads your shoulder distally while not grounded is going to put pressure on your joint. This also means things like bench press. You may be able to do push ups or even dips after you heal. More open chain movements like lateral raises should be fine, you just don't want the load to be above your shoulder joint at any point from any angle, which allows gravity to put stress on it

    • 2 years ago

      Depends on the damage done but you can certainly get back to it. Do pt until your range of motion is back. Slowly ease back into lifting. Your shoulder and surrounding muscles probably atrophied during the dislocation so you’ll need to get them all firing again. Bands may be a good alternative for the time being.

        other than that, once I felt more or so healed (probably 4-5 months after my injury at the time) I just did the standard basic exercises
        squat (zercher), deadlift, pullups, dips, and ring rows/pushups
        the more calisthenics exercises were done with just bodyweight and eventually with more and more added weight
        even then I still had pain around my rotator cuff and into my pec even though my muscles and connective tissues were stronger, maybe it was scar tissue?

          The superior exercise is dips since they are closed chain, but the bench press is better than the OHP in regards to injury risk.

          Actually most barbell work is terrible for the body, especially the rotator cuff, since it fixes your hands in a prone position and your body isn't really designed to lift heavy things in that position. The more natural position is neutral grip.

    I had a torn labrum and major damage to my shoulder socket due to multiple subluxations (unrelated sports injuries). Even years later, I still do OHP. Look at the anatomy of your shoulder joint. As long as you are pressing vertically with respect to the shoulder joint, there is little chance for injury. All of the muscles and tendons attached to the joint limit it from moving. You will collapse under the weight before that vertical loading damages your joint.

    Front raises actually mimic a test doctors will do to test the extent of damage to your shoulder, where you’ll extend your arms out in front of you and the doctor will push down on your hands as you try to raise them while keeping your elbow straight. Lat raises can also wreck your shoulders if you do them incorrectly (tip: keep water in the cup, don’t pour it out).

    Strengthening the muscles around your shoulder joint is the best way to maintain stability of the joint and OHP is one of the best and safest ways to do so

      >OHP is one of the best and safest ways to do so

      no it is not. What usually causes injury is weakness in the scapular muscles, which stabilize rotation in the joint. Your deltoids are likely not going to be the cause of your issue.

      It really is amazing how many people know so little of how injuries happen on this board.

    I tore my rotator cuff stupidly carrying a sheet of plywood on my own and was unable to get surgery on it due to lockdowns keeping elective surgeries out of hospitals and moving states making insurance complicated. It is back to 100% now. My advice:
    >take shoulder/back/chest warmups, stretching, mobility exercises, and rotator cuff exercises seriously. Do them every day before getting into heavy weight
    >learn impeccable form for presses, i.e. master scapular depression and keeping your shoulders back and down to support them in pretty much any exercise. Also do all your pressing/pulling exercises with elbows at ~45degrees relative to the torso--- never flare them fully
    >dont smoke or vape--- nicotine impairs collagen synthesis and healing of connective tissue
    >get really good at pulling exercises. People tend to overemphasize bench/pressing which overdevelops chest and makes shoulders tend to slump forward and makes you hunch. This is worsened by the modern tendency to sit all day at a desk while working and using the computer, which also makes you hunch and roll your shoulders forward, making the back muscles that support the shoulder chronically slackened and loose. Shoulders should *almost always* be back and down during most lifts to avoid injury, and a strong back protects them from injury in this way
    >take some time off from heavy exercises that hurt your shoulders until you can really master scapular depression and good shoulder form
