How to Fix Your Shoulder At The Gym

Like a lot of guys, I have a shoulder that doesn’t always feel great. I have an old injury in my left trap, that makes my left shoulder feel unstable and painful every couple months.

When this happens, I do the same thing you do.  

I either attack this instability head on, or I ignore it.  

If I attack it with good exercise and movement choices it feels better. If I ignore it it feels worse every day. 

One of the movements that we use to beat shoulder pain is a Bottoms Up Kettlebell Press.

This movement is a game changer if your shoulder is feeling beat up.

Not only does it allow you to train around the pain, you can use this movement to make the pain go away and build a stable, bulletproof shoulder.

By using this movement you can target all 4 heads of your rotator cuff, and your serratus anterior to make sure your shoulder is working in unison with your arm and shoulder blade.  

This movement checks a lot of boxes.

You’ll build strength, size and a happy shoulder that feels great. 

Here’s how to do it:

• Grip the kettlebell and hold it upside down

• Keep your wrist directly above your elbow at a 90 degree angle

• Press your elbow away from your body, while keeping your chest facing forward (don’t rotate your chest)

• Press up at a slower tempo

• Slowly reverse the movement
