Sever arthritis in my shoulder almost bone on bone

[Rwy]

As said above:

1: TB500 TONS of information concerning this and Horses/Greyhounds out there. I read 40+ articles in 3 days and barely scratched the surface.

2. Rotator Cuff strengthening exercises. The cable standing side motion is a very popular one and the bands doing different angles.

3. I had MAJOR discomfort in my left shoulder. My current gym forces me to use the Smith rack for longbar exercises. It took a month of hell and excruiating exercises but I found doing the Behing Neck Press...low weight...with bar falling about 1.5 inches behind my spine actually caused a few things to happen. It first caused me to rotate my shoulders back (raise chest) and use a correct angle for the press (use a bench that rotates up for back support and linear help). Second thing it did was increase my flexibility in the traps and shoulder muscle giving me an all around better strength profile. If you are already doing heavy weights you would have to drop low and take some pain for a month or two to see the results or non results of this.

4. Scope. Before I did anything major (as said above) remove the spurs and strengthen the cuff and see what is what.

5. Read Austinites post on supplements and the things he stacks with the fish oil. I started the vitamin E stack with it and it multiplied the results of the fish oil by 2x for me.

behind the neck presses are one of the worst exercises for your shoulders. You are putting your body in a position it is not meant to be in and then moving it back and forth. Palms facing your ears on dumbbells presses will help take some pressure of shoulders.

The exercise makes me focus on proper form. One of the reasons many people have pain from shoulder exercises is poor form (for me it was). I focused on BNP and it did 2 things for me. First was taught me to focus on sitting at attention (raise your chest up like you are at military attention) for any shoulder exercise. Second is nobody warms up properly for shoulder day in my opinion. If I make BNP my first exercise I put in 40 + minutes of warming up so I can actually do the exercise....that allows time for the Aleve to kick in lol.

In my opinion nobody I see does BNP or MP correctly. BNP you got people slouched over with someone behind them holding their lats to keep "form". When I BNP I sit straight up. I did very light weights for a very long time to get the flexibility to do full bar. I also do this on the smith machine (the ONE exercise I advocate the thing for besides heavy solo workouts). Mr Smith makes the bar motion trained into your body. You are correct in the poor form makes you do an unnatural motion. But that is just me. MP I see people standing and moving their body so it is an inclined bench or incline shoulder push. MP should be seated and focused on arms moving only. The two most incorrect exercises performed in the gym imho.
