Stop Pressing Through Shoulder Pain Try This Instead

Your shoulders are going to love me after this If chest presses make your shoulders scream, the answer isn’t to stop pressing—it’s to change the environment. Try this instead. ⬇️ Tuck your elbows closer to your rib cage at about a 45-degree angle. Now, I’m not saying pressing at 90 degrees is "wrong" or "right"—but most of the time, sensitive shoulders aren't a fan of it. Try making the change and I bet you’ll be amazed at how much of a difference it makes to those sore shoulders. The key with injuries is not to just throw in the towel and give up. Yes, it’ll take a bit of time to work out the root cause, but you want to stay strong and sane throughout the process. That means making these small tweaks in the short term is invaluable. It allows you to slow down now so you can safely speed up in the future. This allows you to maintain your strength and keep your sanity without skipping upper body day for months on end. 👇 Ready to exit the Merry-Go-Round of Pain and get back to training? 💬 Comment "STUCK" below and I’ll send you 10 emails in 10 days to reset your mindset to get back in the gym sooner.
