But over time, shoulder issues \u2013 from annoying niggles to major injuries \u2013 can cause lifters to move away from the barbell shoulder press and focus more on bench work.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not difficult to keep track of your shoulder training and avoid problems that may set you back.

If the humeral head isn\u2019t centered in the socket as it moves through different angles, it will start to push and pinch in ways that cause pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n<h3>\nLet\u2019s Break It Down<\/h3>\n<p>Think of your shoulder as the centered dot in a circle. To keep it happy, all you need to do is make sure you\u2019re doing exercises that take your shoulder in all directions.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t have to become the basis of your entire workout program. Even a few banded retractions in your warm-ups and cooldowns could be enough to keep your shoulders centered.<\/p>\n<p>Some examples of exercises you can use for each direction are:<\/p>\n<h4>\nUpwards (Push, Elevation, Traps\/Delts):<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Overhead Press<\/li>\n<li>Shrugs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\nDownwards (Pull, Depression, Lats):<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Pull-Up<\/li>\n<li>Lat Pulldown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\nForward (Push, Protraction, Pecs):<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Push-Up<\/li>\n<li>Bench Press<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\nBackward (Pull, Retraction, Rhomboids):<\/h4>\n<h4>\nRotation:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Banded\/Stick Dislocates<\/li>\n<li>Dumbbell Shoulder Rotations<\/li>\n<li>Skin-the-Cats<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s what those look like:<\/p>\n<div class=\"onebox lazyYT lazyYT-container\" data-youtube-id=\"7HznMCn-824\" data-youtube-title=\"Band Dislocates with Wrap-Arounds\" data-parameters=\"feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7HznMCn-824\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ytp-thumbnail-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6a43f40a3eb80b7834cf59013de82afaaa953262.jpeg\" title=\"Band Dislocates with Wrap-Arounds\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" alt=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"onebox lazyYT lazyYT-container\" data-youtube-id=\"XSW-szTmP0s\" data-youtube-title=\"Skin the Cat (Full Version)\" data-parameters=\"feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XSW-szTmP0s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ytp-thumbnail-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ca6fad994c4ac577f3c31270ec558b16d552d285.jpeg\" title=\"Skin the Cat (Full Version)\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" alt=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"onebox lazyYT lazyYT-container\" data-youtube-id=\"HCJemJDgVKc\" data-youtube-title=\"Dumbbell Shoulder Rotations\" data-parameters=\"feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HCJemJDgVKc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ytp-thumbnail-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/3ce9b8d779f9b023e56b42c06d983bad988680d4.jpeg\" title=\"Dumbbell Shoulder Rotations\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" alt=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Frequently missing out on one or more of these directions (or overdoing a single direction) will gradually move the shoulders out of position. This leads to all those common things that lifters struggle with, like neck pain, elbow pain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/training\/the-tendonitis-cure\/\">tendonitis<\/a>, shoulder pain, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Rotation is the easiest to throw into your warm-ups, yet the most frequently neglected. Get a thin <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3z42ggg\">resistance band<\/a> and do some dislocates every day! This keeps you on top of your \u201cmobility\u201d but via strength training. So rather than having to do a ton of boring rehab\/prehab drills, you\u2019re just using your regular training to keep your shoulders happy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s simple enough to remember. Even if you\u2019re following a specialized program that\u2019s heavy in bench pressing, you\u2019ll be able to easily program your assistance exercises and warm-ups by using the diagram.<\/p>\n<p>Review your training for the past few weeks using the diagram and the exercise list above. See if you\u2019ve missed anything. Keep it in mind for what you do in the future. Provided you have all four directions and rotation in mind, the likelihood of you running into shoulder issues will be severely reduced.<\/p>\n<p><small>T Nation earns from qualifying purchases as an Amazon Associate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/affiliate-link-policy\/\">Read more<\/a> about our policy.<\/small><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"post\" itemprop=\"articleBody\">\n<p>This is great.
