Shoulder pain every time you press even though most other things feel fine?

That’s usually a sign your shoulder isn’t handling the force the way it should, not that it’s broken.

When pressing hurts, most people assume the fix is more open-chain work like bands or light dumbbells.

But an often missed component is working on closed-chain stability to drive better recruitment of the entire shoulder girdle including the muscles around your shoulder blade and ribcage.

Think plank variations, wall walks, or controlled bear progressions. These build the foundation your shoulder needs to tolerate load again safely and with confidence.

These examples are great starting points to build from.

If you’ve experienced pain intensely or for a long time, you’ve likely wondered if you need an MRI.

While I won’t tell you whether you should or shouldn’t get one—that depends on your specific situation.

I want to emphasize that an MRI is just one piece of the puzzle.

It’s a data point to consider in your overall plan.

Positive findings don’t automatically mean you need surgery or that they’re the true source of your pain.

The reality is more complex.

You say you want to get stronger to get out of pain?

That’s cool and worthwhile.

But what if the pain goes away? Would you stop training? If so, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

What if the pain doesn’t go away? Would you stop training? If so, you still are leaving a lot on the table

There are many strategies and approaches to addressing pain, but continuing to train however you can needs to be a non-negotiable.

The quality of your life depends on it.

❗️Important Concept❗️

It affects everyone, from my 92-year-old grandmother to professional athletes.

It compares what you do in a specific instance to what you typically do on average.

The bigger the gap between the acute demand and your usual routine, the higher the risk of injury.

How can we keep this gap small?
