Subacromial Shoulder Impingement
People with pain during overhead movements, bench pressing, or lateral raises
Training Protocol
Strengthen rotator cuff (external rotation, face pulls, band pull-aparts). Fix scapular mechanics (wall slides, serratus punches). Temporarily avoid overhead press and wide-grip bench. Progress to landmine press → neutral-grip press → full overhead.
Nutrition Strategy
Anti-inflammatory support (omega-3, collagen 10g/day). Adequate protein for tissue repair.
What To Avoid
Behind-the-neck press, upright rows, kipping pullups, sleeping on affected side.
