Do your shoulders ever bother you?
If you’re anything like me—and most of the people I coach who are 40 and up—you’ve probably dealt with some nagging shoulder pain. Maybe you’ve even had to skip pressing movements, kettlebell snatches, or push-ups because of it.
And you’re not alone.

Over 40% of all resistance training injuries involve the shoulder. That makes it the most commonly injured area in the gym.
And that stat only includes people who went to the doctor.
If you’ve got a low-grade shoulder ache and you’re just pushing through it, you might be heading toward something more serious unless you take steps to fix it.
Here are 4 key strategies I use (and include in my new 8-Minute Shoulder Fix program) to help avoid shoulder pain:
- Don’t just stretch — mobilize.
Most people think stretching is the answer. But mobility-focused movement sequences are another key part of creating change in the shoulder joint and surrounding tissue. - Fix your posture.
Slouched posture and tight upper traps cause a chain reaction that stresses the shoulders. You’ve got to retrain those postural muscles and open up your upper back. - Improve shoulder stability.
This one made a huge difference for me. It’s not just about being flexible — it’s about controlling the shoulder joint under load and in motion. - Keep it simple and consistent.
The key is doing something that fits into your life. You don’t need 45 minutes a day. You need a plan you can stick with — and that’s why I made it just 8–10 minutes.
