Shoulder Pain? Do This | Trevor Bachmeyer | SmashweRx
Reset your scapula and clean up your pecs........unless you want that searing pain to continue?
The scapula is the anchor point for driving horsepower out through the hands. This means that when your scap moves like it’s made out of modeling clay, you’re doing two things:
1. Bleeding more horsepower than a dodge transmission.
2. Chewing up the shoulder joint.
The pec minor comes off the upper ribcage and inserts on the coracoid, and since it slides underneath the pec major, it forces the pec Complex hypertonicity. The scap gets torqued down and forward shoving the glenoid fossa into a position with the stability of a beach towel.
-
The Serratus anterior, which protracts and stabilizes the scapula, shortens and glues the scap to the posterior ribcage.
Now, not only is the scap in a sub optimal position, it’s also held down like a kid getting ‘beef stewed’ on the play ground.
The subscapularis joins in and rolls the head of the humerus over the anterior inferior labrum, Yeah, the weakest point in the shoulder.
And now we load up weight and expect great things to happen, or.......the shoulder gets hammered into baby food.🙄.
THE FIX:
1️⃣ E-Z Body tempering palm Up pec smash (keep the shoulder externally rotated or you’re simply pounding on muscle for no benefit).
2️⃣ Double overhand grip, behind the back shoulder extension. 2 minutes
3️⃣ PVC subscap/Serratus Nunchuk. 2 minutes.
BOOM! Horsepower freedom! Smash you later!
