Shoulder Pain After Workout? The REAL Fix For Beginners!

“Rotator cuff exercises for women over 40 • external shoulder rotation for posture & rib-cage expansion • fix rounded shoulders and boost chest & back growth.

In this video I show you how to train your rotator cuff and stack your rib cage correctly so your arms, shoulders and rib-cage all work together — reducing shoulder pain, correcting forward-rounded shoulders and unlocking strength gains.

If you’re stuck on bench presses that hurt your neck or you feel pain in your shoulder, this is the missing link.”

Are you a woman 35+, 40+ (or heading there), who’s lifting heavy but still feels shoulder pain, stuck posture or no progress in your chest/back?

You’re not alone — the truth is your rotator cuff and rib-cage position might be the silent culprit.

In this video, I demonstrate 3 key variations of external rotator cuff training:

1. Side-lying dumbbell external rotation

2. Banded external rotation (supine)

3. Standing banded external rotation

All with a laser focus on rib-cage stacking, breath mechanics and proper shoulder blade/glide function.

We talk about why the external rotators get neglected, how weak external rotators allow internal rotators (pecs, lats) to dominate, how forward-rounded shoulders collapse the posterior rib cage, and why that kills your posture, shoulder health, pressing and pulling strength.

Then you’ll FINALLY get the corrective exercises that actually work for shoulder health + strength + aesthetics (not just rehab-style but smart training style).
