Hi all,
I've been having some shoulder issues, and my physical therapist found that I have limited shoulder rotation (dont know how the describe it so I posted a photo below). I basically can't open my forearm to the side if my elbow is next to the ribs.
I have noted that this is an intermediate stage of the bent press, so I figured that if I gain mobility and learn to bent press, my shoulder will be happier.
Does anybody know any drill to this particular shoulder limitation? Today I tried bent arm bars and was able to do them with a 6kg KB. The 16 was a no-go. I also did a few reps of the kneeling bent press with the 6 kg.
Also, any source to learn how to bent press?
Thanks all!
