Fixing Clicking Shoulders
Fix those clicking shoulders.
.
The regular lateral raise can cause clicking and irritation that we talked about earlier in the week.
.
Add this simple tweak to the movement: halfway up the rep begin to rotate the dumbbell up and end with it pointed to the ceiling.
.
By doing this you allow the other rotator cuff muscles to aid in moving the head of the humerus in a way that it misses all of those structures that it was ramming into before.
.
One big thing to keep in mind:
.
Try and keep your scapula depressed and don’t shrug your shoulders up while doing this motion.jimbosmith316, BigZ thanked for this postjimbosmith316, BigZ liked this post

Oh, I get that. I have to be very careful not to go too heavy when doing these. I'll try doing the rotation on them to that degree. I've always done a slight up-turn to make the pinky side higher, but I still have trouble with it. I'd say if you can't do it without shrugging, then it's too heavy. Thanks for the tip!

Twist and make the hand in the same position as holding a coffee cup.

I have done this in the past. Def a harder movement, but who cares if you have to do less weight.

I quit ego lifting years ago. I just want to hit the muscle and get out of there.

Sometime's I get drawn back in, bc I'm smaller than I was. I always do super light weight supinated curls at the end of my bicep workouts, some meathead dork gave me a smirk as he was curling 50's, so I walked over to him, grabbed the 85's and hammer curled them slow as fuck for 10 each and put them down. He can eat his smirk after that.

Just because we choose not to go heavy, doesn't mean that we can't. " Eat the Smirk" love it.
