A lot of times your results for strength, hypertrophy, or rehab are stagnant simply because you're applying the wrong exercises for your goal.

Here is a perfect example of what people think isolates triceps, but is actually largely pec driven, vs what actually isolates triceps.

If dips hurt your shoulders and pecs, try chair dips for a block. You'll find your shoulders feel better and your triceps will actually grow.

Understand the rules of the game, then tailor them to your needs.

Back pain isn’t usually about how much weight you can lift.

It’s about how well your trunk can create and maintain pressure under load.

For years people were told that if you squat and deadlift, your core is strong enough.

I understand why that caught on. They are heavy. They load the spine. They require tension. And nobody enjoys dedicated core work.

But from new gym goers to experienced lifters, most people still hurt their back at some point. Even after being told they were strong enough.

The issue is rarely effort.

It is a gap in core strength and core endurance.

You might be able to brace for one heavy rep.
But can you create real 360 degree pressure?
Can you hold it under fatigue?
Can you control rotation and extension when something shifts?

A five minute plank does not fix that.
A well executed, progressively loaded trunk does.

When we train the core properly, pain improves. Bracing improves. Confidence improves. Performance improves. Even the belt finally works the way it should.

A belt cannot fix what you never trained.

If your back keeps flaring up even though you work out, it is not bad luck. It is a capacity gap.

Send me a message that says BRACE and we will build a plan that actually makes your spine stronger than it needs to be.

I had 4 patients with low back injuries this week. Each of them described the same pattern.

When they do kettlebell swings, they only “hit” their low back.

No glutes. No hamstrings. Just a back pump and lingering stiffness later.

That is not a conditioning issue. It is a hinge issue.

A swing is not lumbar extension. It is a hip hinge that rides a pendulum.

The bell already wants to move. Your job is not to lift it higher by arching back. Your job is to time your hips to the arc.

Stand tall through the hips.
Let the bell float.
Sit back and reload.

When the hips create the force, the glutes and hamstrings absorb it.

When the spine tries to create height, the low back takes stress it was never meant to repeatedly generate.

If you consistently feel swings in your back, do not just lower the weight and hope it improves.

Assess the hinge.
Rebuild the pattern.
Then load it progressively.

That is how you turn a risky rep into a resilient one.

If swings have been bothering your back, send me the word SWING and I will show you how I rebuild the hinge so it actually trains your hips.

For years, you were told to avoid what hurts.

Rest it. Stretch it. Be careful. Don't aggravate it.

So you listened. But you didn't get stronger.
You just got more cautious.

And now you're stuck managing pain instead of rebuilding capacity.

Here is the shift most people never get taught.

Pain is not automatically damage. It is information.

There is a difference between productive discomfort that signals adaptation and destructive pain that signals overload.

If you treat all pain like danger, you shrink your world.

If you learn how to train at the edge safely and progressively, you expand it.

That is how you rebuild trust in your body.

That is how you return to lifting, training, and living without constant fear of flare-ups.

If this resonates, send me a message that says EDGE.

You’ve been told to do 3 sets of 12 for years.

You’ve been disciplined.
You’ve done the work.
But your shoulders still ache, and you’re starting to believe it’s just what happens after 45.

After my shoulder surgery, I learned the hard way that 8 to 12 reps was not enough to rebuild resilient tissue.

It wasn’t until I stopped chasing a number and started training the tissue that things finally settled down.

Rehab and accessory work are not about checking off reps.

They are about driving adaptation.

When you take controlled, high-rep sets close to fatigue, you increase blood flow, improve tendon tolerance, and give irritated tissue a reason to remodel.

That pump is not fluff.

It is structured capacity work.

Your accessory sets are your opportunity to build durability. Not by chasing weight, but by creating enough stimulus to matter.

If your shoulder irritation keeps returning, it may not be overtraining.

It may be that the tissue was never fully prepared for the demand.

If you want to see how I program this inside a phased shoulder rebuild, send me PUMP.

My favorite thing ever is getting a text like this:

"Hey Dr. Mike, I just wanted you to know that I canceled my shoulder surgery today, and I'm headed to workout to celebrate! Thank you for not giving up on me"

This job is meant to give people hope and restore self-belief.

If you feel broken and nothing has worked, don't give up! We will do whatever we can to find a way forward together.

With some cases we have to accept surgery as the best option. But, if you do need surgery, we will go into it as prepared as possible, and build a rehab plan to match your goals!

Most shoulder pain is not a stop sign. It’s a tolerance issue.

The problem is rarely training itself. It’s how the shoulder is being loaded relative to its current capacity.

When we assess properly, we can almost always find a path forward that involves:

➡️Adjusting volume
➡️Modifying angles
➡️Addressing strength gaps
➡️Improving control

And keep you training.

You do not need to lose momentum to fix an imbalance. You need a structured plan that increases what your shoulder can handle.

If your shoulder is clicking, uneven, or limiting you and you want clarity without scrapping your program, DM SHOULDER.
