Ego/Ugly,

I wasn't advising an ill move here. There is no internal rotation when you turn your wrists during bent over lateral raises and the "pain" isn't associated with impingement. You should...

Thanks for the update brother. I am sorry to hear you are still having that nagging pain. I have had a couple rounds with tendonitis as well and it stemmed from a shoulder injury. A few years back...

I recommend seated bent over lateral raises. Get two dumbells and place them together on the floor right in front of the bench. Sit down on the bench with your legs together (knees touching), you...

I actually recommend the peck/delt flye exercies first before any bench or dumbell presses. This is as the flyes will preexhaust your outer peck and inner delt and when you get to presses more...

OP, are you making sure your form is correct on flyes with the db's? You have to arch your elbows and they should remain arched as to put all the weight directly on your outer peck and inner front...

I would add here to make sure your butt stays in the same position and that your knees are as far apart as your shoulders, not together on the mat. When you come up with the cable, ensure you are...

Are the rotator exercises helping you out any bro?

You definitely need to lower your bfp (body fat percentage %) for your abs to show. To get started, make sure you are eating a complete, balanced, and clean diet - this is key here. If you don't...

Try some static and negative holds on a pull up bar - grab the bar pull up if you can as many as you can. If you cannot simply hang in that static position as long as you can. Keep doing this once...

Ok, so somewhat an old post here, but wanted to add my opinion.

I find that 12 sets on chest is perfect and even after that I can get 12-15 sets of heavy volume on my tri's before they are done.

This! Repped. Front squats will definitely allow you to squat without the pressure on your traps/neck and will tighten your core very well.

Jumping in here to bump a 4 yo post. After a workout, have the protein shake - isolate is the best. Then 60-90 minutes after (no longer) have a full meal - chicken/sirloin steak/sirloin...

Yep 3-4 sets internal and external is what I do. Post workout only so you don't exhaust the rotator cuff muscles prior to your workout.

When you hit a plateau, it is time for a change. Change up your workout routine with different exercises, different volumes/rep ranges, change your time of day for workouts, change up your diet. ...

Neither of these vids show what I was talking about. I would definitely not recommend what those folks are doing.

MRI's are going to show multiple layers of tissues - basically they can image...

Try an orthopedic, but your GP should be able to refer you to get an MRI very easily. I would just go to the GP, tell him about your issues, say you would like an MRI from an orthopedic and they...

I bet it is in fact the cuff that is the issue here. I know you are already working on this, but here is a good tip: on shoulder focus day, take a resistance band (weight of your preference) or...

This one is easy... You recently lost 30lbs - you reduced your caloric intake and now are gaining weight back - this is the result of your body adjusting everything so that it can try to get back to...

At 17 and your height and age, your stats are pretty well on point.

You're going to need some front delt support for sure to achieve your bench goals.

To increase your weight range on bench,...

Here you go:

Shoulders:

Warm up sets (2) -
standing OH shoulder DB (dumbell) press - 1 set of 10-12 reps,
standing side laterals - 1 set of 12 reps.

Working sets
Standing OH Shoulder...
