Shoulder pain is the number one injury for those who lift weights. Why is this? The reason comes down to the fact that you have several massive muscles doing internal rotation at the glenohumeral joint, while you have only two that do external rotation, and those are rarely if ever targeting at the gym. This imbalance shifts the head of the humerus, impinging the rotator cuff and labrum. Watch my other videos in order to know how to fix this!
