What Your PT Got Wrong About Your Shoulder

Listen Later

If you've ever had a shoulder that clicks, aches, or just feels "off" during pressing movements — this episode is for you.

Steven is joined by coach Tris Cason to break down what's actually going on when the shoulder fails under load: why your thoracic spine matters more than you think, what "pulling your shoulders back and down" really means, and why removing bench press from your program is almost never the answer.

They cover:

  • How to assess shoulder and scapular control for beginners vs. intermediates
  • Why your ability to press is directly tied to how well you can row
  • The bench block strategy that took one client from 95 lbs with pain to 165 lbs pain-free
  • What most PTs miss when rehabbing a pressing injury
  • How volume spikes — not bad form — are the most common reason intermediate lifters get hurt

    • Whether you're dealing with chronic shoulder pain, coaching someone through it, or just trying to press smarter — this one's worth your time.
