About 3 months ago, I fell while walking my dog, Pudding. I exacerbated a previously injured shoulder but didn’t want to stop training.
Here, I’m talking with @drjohnny_ to see what he suggests for a situation like this. This is what he said:
1️⃣ Switch from an externally rotated overhead press to a more neutral press with palms facing each other. This modification helps reduce strain on the shoulder by keeping the movement more aligned with the natural position of the joint.
2️⃣ Warm up your rotator cuffs before lifting. He suggested incorporating banded external rotations into my warm-up routine. These exercises are excellent for prepping the shoulders, improving stability, and reducing the risk of further injury.
