Pressing variations should not be demonized for overhead athletes, but are. You can do as many cable ERs and Prone T's as you want, but you'll still be in pain if you can't upwardly rotate the scap. There aren't many excuses to keep these out of your velocity-gain program...

If you can't upwardly rotate & protract the scapula, you can potentially be subjected to pain in the throw. Movements to train this (when taught correctly): - BB bench press - DB SA OH Press - DB SA Hip Thrusted Press - Landmine Press & Protract ... and many more.

The rehab process is almost never linear. Different movements will respond differently to different stimuli, and sometimes it’ll feel like a million bucks, but other times, not so much. But, the most important part of any rehab is having a structured plan.

Here’s an anecdote from a future “case study,” because once this guy is done with rehab, he’ll be chasing pro-ball from D3 Post-debridement (labral & RC) RHP was feeling some posterior “pinching” when performing ER at neutral Here’s what we did (it was super simple!) ⬇️

The result? No pinching.
