Happy, Healthy Shoulders For Longevity

For pretty much all upper body training, shoulder health is vital.

• All pressing movements are reliant on retracting the scapula so that your shoulder position is not internally rotated, thus leading to better recruitment in the target muscle groups.

• All pulling movements are reliant on retracting the scapula properly, in order to help muscles in the posterior chain contract optimally.

• For biceps training, issues with shoulder stability you are likely to lose tension in the bicep and potentially develop tendon pain which further detracts from your progress.

• For triceps training, when you have shoulder joint problems you can lose mobility which has a particular impact on overhead movements.

These are all mechanical points, but what you also need to remember is that shoulder pain in general will impact nearly all upper body workouts. If you train chest, shoulder pain will be an issue. The same for back, biceps, triceps and obviously shoulders themselves.

I strongly recommend spending time keeping shoulder mobility good, having scar tissue broken down if you have any and ultimately taking steps to ensure you're not going to run into serious problems with the shoulders.
