Shoulder pain is probably the number 1 injury of people who lift weights. Need proof? Ask around in your average gym. Most lifters suffer from shoulder pain or have in the past. Some even consider this normal.

I’ll be honest. I’ve struggled with shoulder pain for a long time too. I remember I couldn’t Bench Press anymore without my right shoulder hurting. It was even hurting when sleeping or holding my drink in a club!

Things have changed luckily. Today I no longer have any shoulder pain. I’ve been Bench Pressing 2x/week pain-free since years. And if I ever get some discomfort, I know how to get rid of it quickly.

Why You Have Shoulder Pain. So what did I do? Well I started by getting an understanding of what causes shoulder pain. Usually it has one or several of these causes. I’ve been guilty of them all in the past.

• Bad Posture. Slouching shoulders prevent your shoulder-blades to tilt back when raising your arms. This narrows the space in your shoulder joint, increasing risks of shoulder impingement & rotator cuff injuries.
• Bad Technique. Benching with your elbows out gives your chest muscles a better stretch, but is terrible on your shoulders. Especially with heavy weights. The right way is to keep your elbows close to your body.
• Bad Programming. Bench Pressing all the time while neglecting to train your back muscles. This causes imbalances over time. NOTE: if you’re doing StrongLifts 5×5, you’ll never get this problem.

Again, go to your gym and notice how many people Bench Press incorrectly, never train their back and have a bent upper-back from sitting behind their computer all day. Shoulder injuries are no surprise.

The Wrong Way to Treat Shoulder Pain. The solutions are no better. After the initial “no pain, no gain” approach of just training through the injury, it becomes time for something else. The top 3 solutions:

• Avoid What Hurts. No more Bench Pressing or any other exercise that hurts for several weeks. Pain disappears – until you get back to it.
• Strengthen The Rotator Cuff. External rotations. This is like pumping air into a broken tire instead of fixing the hole: it addresses the symptoms, but not the cause of your shoulder pain.
• Pain Killers. Or cortisone shots into your shoulder. These only treat the symptoms, not the cause. They’re also dangerous: pain is your body warning you something is wrong. You can’t just ignore it.

The Right Way: Inside/Out. This is what I’ve been doing during the past years and which has helped me getting rid of shoulder pain forever and Bench Press pain free again. It’s the Inside/Out method to shoulder health.

• Improve Posture. Get rid of your hunchback and forward head posture. Shoulders back & down, head back, no more slouching.
• Activate Dormant Muscles. Improve your shoulder stability & safety by activating your rotator cuff & scapular stabilizers.
• Behavior Modification. Stop doing what causes all of this: sit correctly behind your desk, learn to Bench Press correctly, etc.

Inside/Out is all about this: 24 exercises to improve your shoulder health from the inside out by improving your posture, muscle activation, technique & habits.

Authors of Inside/Out are Bill Hartman PT, CSCS, USAW and Mike Robertson MS, CSCS, USAW (co-author of Magnificent Mobility). Robertson is a powerlifter and strength & conditioning coach.

The Inside/Out DVD. The Inside/out DVD contains 24 exercises to improve thoracic mobility, shoulder-blade mobility/stability, improve elbow, wrist & shoulder mobility and activate your rotator cuff.

• Rufus complex: barbell warm-up routine you can do pre workout. You could also do this as cardio actually.

You can do these exercises pre-workout as warm-up and/or on recovery days for faster gains. DVD has audio cues and demonstrations for each exercise.

Inside/Out Manual. Inside/Out also comes as a print manual and ebook. These include the 24 exercises from the DVD with pictures & technique, but also extra material not on the DVD.

• Behavior Modification. Bad posture is the real cause of shoulder pain. This chapter explains why & how to fix it.
• 10 Desk Exercises. Preventive exercises you can do for your shoulders, neck, upper-back and wrists if you sit behind a desk all day.
• How to Bench Press. A lot of people bench bodybuilding style: with the elbows out. This puts your shoulder joint at risk. These 10 pages will teach you how to bench press safely and efficiently.

What Should You Get? DVD, Print Manual or eBook? You can get a DVD of Inside/Out, a print manual or an ebook. Differences between the 3:

• DVD has videos with audio cues of the 24 exercises.
• Print manual has pictures of all the exercises on the DVD with technique explained. But also 10 additional desk exercises and information on how to Bench Press correctly. Both are NOT on the DVD.
• Ebook has the same content as the print manual.

Best is to get the DVD + print manual. Bigger investment, but this way you get videos of how to perform each exercise. And you get additional information on how to Bench Press + desk exercises as prevention.

If you want to save money, get the ebook and print it yourself. But realize you’ve never done or seen most exercises. If you want to be sure you’re doing them correctly, the Inside/Out DVD is a safer choice.

How Much Does Inside/Out Cost? Inside/Out isn’t a quick fix solution. You’ll have to do the exercises consistently to see results. If you want a long term, pain-free solution Inside/Out is for you.

• It’s cheaper than getting an x-ray of your shoulder joint to find out why it keeps hurting on the Bench Press.
• It’s also cheaper than painkillers & cortisone injections. And these only give you temporary relief: pain will come back unless you address the cause which is bad posture & dormant muscles.
• And it’s definitely cheaper than getting surgery. Several readers mailed me they were able to avoid shoulder surgery by doing the exercises on the Inside/Out DVD consistently.

Quotes From Inside/Out DVD Users…

Today I went through ALL the Inside-Out exercises as best I could. My shoulder feels better already.

One of the things I read in the Inside/Out manual was that people with a problem in one shoulder tend to have a problem with their hips on their opposite side – very true in my case. So I need to put a lot of effort into shoulder, ankle and hip mobility. – Bluestreak

Take it from someone who has already incorporated the Inside/Out exercises into his pre-hab / re-hab protocol – This stuff works. Applied consistently, day after day, I was able to avoid the surgeon’s blade. Worth twice the price. – DR
