These muscles will help to maintain proper posture and enable the shoulder to function correctly. There are numerous exercises to maintain the health of our body and some require the use of weights, machines, resistance tubing, medicine balls, theraballs and many other ways to add resistance to the exercise.

There are many exercises for shoulders, and the secret is in the number of reps and sets and adding weight.
For wide, strong shoulders you need to be persistent. The shoulder joint is unique since it has a big ratio of movement.To improve the flexibility in your shoulders, complete each stretch two to three times each week. The exercises should cause a gentle stretching sensation; however, they should not cause increased pain.

Lie over a foam roller that’s perpendicular to your spine—just underneath your shoulder blades—and place a barbell on the ground above your head.

great, man.. had been looking for that kind of drill for a long time
Hey man, could you make a video dedicated to thoracic expansion improvement? I struggle a lot with that, causing me bad posture, back pain and significantly reduced range of motion for any overhead pressing and also dips.
Thank you so much for your videos. I’ve started doing you “Follow Along’s” since week 2 of quarantine, and it’s been super helpful!
Hi Tom, thank you for created this video. I had severe shoulder injuries couple weeks ago. After physiotherapy session, I practice this move, sounds magic but my shoulders getting better.
Hi Tom, when you do prone military press, the start position is shoulders down and back. You say to push and take your arms to full extension. At the end point do you still keep your shoulders down and back or do you let your shoulders rotate into a full ‘lockout’ type position?
Hope you’re not creeped out by this, but you’re one sexy guy dude.:D
your back reminds me of the skin u get on custard if you squeeze it, gains!!!
Video is really good. U probably forgot to tell the rest time between each exercise? Scapula is small and prone towards injury. This video is for beginners excluding injured practioners.
Been stretching with you for a month now using your follow alongs. I appreciate you and your videos man
Hey Tom, two food questions. First is what oils do you use for cooking mostly, some are expensive and rear(avacado) and some you shouldnt coook a stake on(exV olive oil). 2.is the thing with oats and gas, it not just thw fiber right? Please help a gainer out i need them oats. Kinda miss your cocking vids so hope to see one soon:)
You are amazing. I work out 5 times a week and do yoga but your exercise are focused to the point. Plus you are a really cool guy. Well done
Is this gonna help me with the Human Flag? I’m always getting a little bit of shouldern pain after working on the human flag progressions
That thumbnail almost had me. I ain’t even gay but you better stop playin. This quarantine aint no joke!
Love this video, very helpful. I’ve been struggling with shoulder mobility while practicing my handstand, this video is exactly what I’ve been needing. Thank you!
Awesome, Would these help with scapula problems. I have a bit of winging in my right side and lack of internal rotation but working on it and my massage therapist says it’s improving.
He does a headstand as chill as i go to the fridge for a beer………. LIKE A BOSS!!!!!
4:48 I did this and injured my shoulder after doing 2 push ups like that!:(
At 4:09 I did that and my should arc problem went away for a few minutes and no clunking sound in my shoulder.
I will stick to this exercise
I was looking for an addition to my workout and all your routines fit perfectly. Some of the movements you you do I’ve done partially. Thank you for this channel.
Amazing video as always, going to implement these into my routine right away. Thanks!
I like this geezer he doesn’t talk bollocks or think hes great
wouldnt it make more sense to do this before your workout? i think you want the right muscles firing before your primary movements you are working out, rather than after.
Sir nice video and good information too, could u please tell me which resistance band is best and where to buy it pls sir
You forgot to mention the serratus anterior which is also very important for shoulder health and often neglected.
Despite the insane amount of volume of training I’ve done for rotator cuff, rear shoulders, traps and mobility, i injured myself due to a weak serratus
just starting out here. what should i eat for calisthenics? i am a vegetarian
Privet! Do you keep your head off the floor while making movements? Thank you.
Hello! Does any of your programs help relieve or fix elbow/shoulder pain? Feels more like restriction of mobility.
I think I must be doing the prone military press wrong.
It feels way too easy.
Where should I be feeling the work/stretch? Is it a stretch or an exercise?
What I’m doing:
Laying on ground face into ground
Shoulderblades together
elbows low and towards hips, arms parallel to the body.
then slowly push hand forwards and up with elbows close to ground hands high.
What’s the difference between upward rotation and shoulder flexion at 1:45?
If he ever wears a different colour pair of shorts I’ll unsubscribe from this channel!!
1:43 What is the difference between upward roation and flexion?:o
1:45 wait a sec. What’s the difference between upward rotation and shoulder flexion?
Had my team do these with their gloves on for a little weight for prone presses/pulldowns and their hockey stick for the extensions. Fantastic video, great warm up, keep em coming!! Thank you.
Tom follow you since 1.2years. thanks a bunch but i just want height increase follow along video please.
No way I can get those underhand dislocations, I barely get 1 inch:D
Shoulder depression combined with retraction leads to brachial plexus compression. Pls stop using this damaging cue!
Hello from Greece. Really helpful. Could you please tell me if i should do this routine the day of workout as warm up? After the work out? The resting days? How many times per week?
On the prone military push, I like to remind myself to keep the transverse abs engaged (or for the Pilates folks: don’t crush the butterfly under your bellybutton) and to keep chin to chest but nose away from the floor.:) On the shoulder extension lifts, rotate the upper arms so that the pits of the elbows point away from the body, not forward. Maintain this rotation for the whole range of motion, and try to move your fists towards each other (as if trying to collapse a telescoping rod) and enjoy the triceps burn this only works with a dowel, not a towel, of course. Still too easy? Add a weight plate or two to the rod from your dumbbells.
Tom i have a problem,my left arm can do one hand pushups and its stronger than my right arm,even though i write with my right arm.What do i do thanks.Also the right shoulder is loose and its lower then my left shoulder.
I’m sooo close to getting my first handstand pushups,
I’ll get it one day thanks for this vid man!
Love it…have terribly closed shoulder due to years of slouching over books. Please do a shoulder opening follow along sequence
Hey Tom Merrick can a 13 year old build and with Calisthenics?
Thank you for this, will definitely be doing this for the next two months, my shoulder mobility is shocking
For older people and those not comfortable lying on their stomachs, could you also do these standing facing a wall?
Hey man could you tell me if I can’t do the drills with that stick I can’t do them at all what should I do
This really helped improve my shoulder pain for overhead exercises. Tried lots of different stretches with no real luck but the movements in your video really sorted it out. Thanks
7:47 u mean facepull? Jeff Cavaliere wants to know your location
I dont feel any discomfort during any of these, its so easy am I doing it wrong? When I do hamstring flexibility, holy shit pain
Can’t believe how mobile and flexible you are bro I’m still here working at it
Sir I have a question that you have uploaded so many flexibility and mobility routine and I can’t decide which one to follow so please guide me. I am currently practising calisthenics and I am very flexible too. But please tell me.
I wish I had understood the importance of the mobility at my younger age. Very good video!
Do you take any supplements? What are the supplements you take?
love your exercises. My wooden stick would not allow for such a wide grip, merely it allows for V grip. Can I use a hard black rubber band for the full rotation backward and forward of the shoulder? Eventually, How to gain the ability to reach a full rotation with a larger wooden stick?
Someone offered me an orange at work today. I threw it at their face.
Excellent moves. Pilates coach suggests allowing the gaze to follow the circle/arc of the hand during “sundial” move, letting the chest open while lower body (pelvis) stays neutral.
Tom I have only just found you on here and I have struggled for years with tight legs and your workouts are helping me so much THANK YOU!
2:10 watched that part 10 times and still doesn´t get the move:D
Tom, you think that these kind of movility work could be dangerous before the main workout due to force the shoulder to increase normal range of movility, or is this an option too?
Would I have the same benefits if I use resistance bands to replace the pole?
Thank you for watching! You can learn the benefits and find more instructions in this blog post ➞ http://bit.ly/active-tension-shoulders
Take our free physicality quiz and discover your physicality type ➞ http://bit.ly/physicality-quiz
I’ve been searching high and low for a vid with a comprehensie and concise routine, whilst this looks good, I’m dissapointed as it doesnt have anything which seems to do the lateral raise movement. So I’m sceptical of whether it’s fully comprehensive.
Came here because shoulder pain because i started with calisthenics few weeks ago… Now im depressed how stiff i am hahaha.
Grüße aus Nürnberg
Arent those broad rotations/dislocation movements negative for a possible acromion impingment or damage on the rotator cuff area? Especially the overhead combined with internal/external rotation movements… just watching those is giving me pain on my shoulders! I guess its all about progressing gradually.
anyone elses shoulder clicking and grinding on the draw the circle one?
Great excersises! We do the same in Yoga but in a sitting position with a strap. The results are the same, however I will switch my shoulder opening routine between your excersises and the yoga one. Thanks!
Hi Tom I’ve subscribed to your channel a couple of days ago and have really benefited over these last two days with your exercises. I’ve not yet had the chance to view your other videos but was wondering if you have any videos which can help with my pinched nerve in the right side of my neck which also shoots down the whole right side?
I really enjoyed the hip mobility and the shoulder mobility videos which have helped so much with my tight hips and shoulders and relieved some pain from my herniated disc bulge so thank you so much.
Congratulations! You’re very disciplined and usually do your training with carefully movements:-)
Good movements for me to do at home after sitting in front of a computer at work.
Greetings from Mexico, I practice yoga but your routines fit beautifully in my sessions
hey tom, can you make a follow-along routine for the bridge? thank you xx
You do an incredibly good job of this YouTube channel! Thank you so much…
excelente graxias x el.video si tienes alguna rutina de ejercicio para.iniciar me gustaria verla
That’s a great routine for doing after an upper body workout, thanks a lot!
I hope one day knowledge spread so that people who feel weak and hopeless ignite
Those are pure gold!! I also use “tea cups ” to loosen up those shoulders after a hard workout
Cool, but I’m trying to get my shoulders to look like tires. Walk through doors sideways and all that.
Thank you for sharing teacher Vahva! always learning something gourd from you. go on!
Your vids are so calming to watch. Then I join the work and SO BENEFICIAL
Wow, that “draw the biggest circle you can” one even stretched by fingers which I didn’t know was possible. It felt like the flesh of my fingers was being pulled up towards my forearm:O
some muscle definition.great work again. I don’t follow any one in fitness but you cause everything you do is enjoyable to watch and try.
I dont know how best to reach you. But my right wrist can not hold my weight in a pushup due to pain on the top back as its nearing 90 degrees. Do you have/can you do a wrist based video?
I really appreciate the way you discribe what you do in your videos, naming the muscles and the alignment, it very professional, thank you
I am so freaking attracted to you!!!!! You are so beautiful!
Love this follow along (love all of them indeed)… u r the best
Oh my gosh. These stretches are taking the pain away in my shoulders. Especially my left shoulder. It just feels way better. Though I still need to work on some the shoulders to properly do them. But again, just amazing.
Warning, these are very advanced. You could potentially injure yourself if you attempt these exercises without proper progressions.
If you would like to practice abduction, adduction, extension, flexion at the same time, Swim and gymnastic should be effective choices. You gotta practice shoulder movements to perform advanced movements.
Hello sir!!
Can you please do me a favour!!
Its been a great while there’s been a shoulder ligament injury..but no improvement till now..
Can you please make a video on some exercises to boost up the healing process or some tips or anything related to that..
Thank you for that sir
Dude, I think all of your subs once thought “oh fuck I suck at this” or “this doesn’t feel right” and the day after you posted the solution to their issues. I’m proud to say that the days keep on coming for me.
On a side note, I’d be interested in an update of your take on other youtubers, and what content and information you “value” (particularly Strength Side).
Proper way to start any yoga ♀️ session. Stretching to warm up greatly reduces the risk of injury as to do yoga from a cold start. Very informative on sex yoga. I am not sexually active, but one day, I could bring a woman to great surprise, as well as myself, with an 8 inch erection. Once enough men try your sex ♀️ yoga, more and more of them will think one thing. They will probably take an extra trip to the bathroom to flush their Viagra down the toilet. Vacuum pumps and other methods of sex will land in the garbage. Just pure yoga for sex. I bet everybody will be so far beyond belief that they will never think of Viagra again, or a two inch long erection. They may even faint, having sex so good that they will want to do it for a month straight. Good yoga videos, even ones not related to sex. I just can’t wait to get at them myself.
How can i implant such drills in my calisthenics training? Before the training? on a different day?
Thanks for these greats vids!
5:45 i’m scared of this kind of stuff
I feel like my shoulders are going to snap
Thanks Tom. Very helpful. Your routines always leave me feeling well balanced.
are there variations that can help work on the trapezius?
or any other strethces that can loosen them off?
i find between archery and a desk job they are murder XD
Thank you so much love all your follow along videos and guidance
Can you pls make another 5-10 follow along stretch. I miss them v3 thank you.
Tom, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time but only now had the time to go through a lot of your videos and I’m very impressed with the quality of footage AND educational tips you give. Thank you for your time and efforts!
I’ve been trying to do arch back pull ups but I can’t get my chest to touch the bar, yet I can do hollow body variation just fine.
I think I’ll try this.
Your back muscles need a management team in their own right!!
Thank you your videos are super useful. I am recovering from a shoulder injury and your scapula and mobility exercises have been tremendously helpful. ❤️from Australia!
Can I do this exercise currently Now I’m having a shoulder pain..
This video are very helpful for me, and i wonder when mobility exercises should be done, before workout or after workout?please tell me
2:54. I didn’t know that was physically possible. You make everything look way to easy
epic music for shoulder mobility exercises haha. Nice video and some great variations
Thank you Tom. Currently working on strenghtening the upper part of body, so find this video super helpful for warming up/ stretching afterwars. The circular motion at the begining (from the evening routine) one of my favourits
hey tom, in this big circle exercise, do you find useful to add low weights when bw becomes to easy?
bro i was pissed at my shoulders til you made that thing with the circle, grew 2 inches
A very good alternative to avoid more lesions because of the misuse of the dumbbells
Can you do a video that would help specifically in the recovery of a strained or slightly torn rotator cuff? Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the excersises. I have a question I can do this excersises as part of the warm up or after the work out???
Sir pls help me. My right shoulder is doing tak tak sounds. It’s paining also. I can’t do these exercises. What should I do to improve?
Can i just a rubber band instead of a stick? I cant do the dislocations.
thank you tom for these follow along routines. they are really helpful:)
hi. what to recover if my shouder is already injured? cant do chest workout, annoying sound in shoulder when rotate.
Thanks for this! I’m going to incorporate some of them into my ‘bulletproof my shoulders’ routine.
Great video Tom! Actually started doing the prone military press 1 month ago, such a game changer. Been supersetting it with elevated cat stretch 4 times a week. Also been focusing a lot more on shoulder extension lately so will give that second exercise a go
Can you make a lower back follow along routine for begginners
Can someone suggest me
I can feel pain in my shoulder when I do even pushups
Is all this included in your course as well? I would like to get it
ompa hienoa kun oon löytäny nää videot, rakastan kahvakuulaa, ja tota keppijumppaa teen töissä kun työasento niin etukumara, nää kaikki teidän videot mitätähän mennessä nähny antaa mulle motivaatioo,,
Much love from hawaii brother, loving the videos and going to implicate in my training at my college gym tomorrow, aloha
Was ist Ihre Meinung über den Bulgarian bag? Ist er gut für die Schultern?
Good morning Tom. 5:15am here. Your home looks amazing. Enjoyed vid bro. ✌
Your awesome! So, can this be used to also correct bad posture?
Hi Tom, how many times a week would you recommend to do this?
Would you say this is wise to do, if you have some mild shoulder pain? I’ve had it for many months now and trying to work through it, mildly I might add, I dont do any crazy weights. Tried to do exercises my physio told me for half a year and it still surfaces.
Would be really great if you made a video what you eat in a day/diet. Great video! Keep up the good work Tom:D
Nice haircut Tom! Your upper back is looking great. Very encouraging.
Active tension exercises for shoulder mobility is very nice..
make a video on how to treat AC joint pain pls!!! I really need it
The one in 9:08 really bothers my shoulders… I can barely get my hands off the ground
Definitely gonna try this one out today before going to bed. Love these follow along routines.
Love it! Had an easy time with it, whereas your lower body routines are very difficult. Is it common to have better upper body flexibility than lower?
oh the music and these precious exercises! thanks, you provide safe moves and attention to different muscles groups unlike other trainers here..:)
what kind of stick are you using? Also does it need to be a specific size to your particular arm length? thank you
6:15 My face busted through the sheetrock, does that mean my shoulders are too tight?
these are perfect. my mother needs something just like this and so do i.
If I had an injury when I was little that caused me to lose mobility on one arm, what should I do?
The movement in question is the external rotation in my left arm shown in the video. I’ve been doing calisthenics for a little more than a year. Sometimes I feel like I lack strength in my left shoulder and it causes a tolerable in my left shoulder. How can I get strong balanced shoulder with this limitation? The injury I got was on my elbow so when I rotate my should my arm doesn’t rotate all the way, my palm can’t face upwards.
I can do chin ups but the position of my left arm isn’t the same as in my right arm because it’s hard for my palm to grab the bar facing towards me. Normal pull ups don’t feel that weird.
Hey Dean, how often would you recommend doing this routine? I’ve done it once so far and my shoulders feel better already
This routine is fantastic! My shoulders have okay range of motion but are very weak, so this is great for increasing mobility and strength! Thank you so much for sharing it!
trying to keep tings simple otherwise i feel like id be in a back-garden permanently doing drills off youtube for hours & days everything in moderation i guess
My wife had been on to me to do yoga since her experience has been significant improvement in flexibility and pain release. I’m 57 yr old and your videos have really improved my stability (I spend hours trout fishing on mountain rocks) and reduced back pain (your decompression videos are great)… and now this shoulder routine is giving me more range of motion in my left shoulder (old lifting issue). I feel 10 yr younger!
3:13 i feel this in my biceps is something wrong with my hands?
This is genuinely the best video I have ever found on shoulder and scapula stability. Really awesome stuff.
Would this stuff likewise work to improve posture?
@ 5:16 I do that move when I hang from one arm, but it’s not on purpose.:/
Hi Tom. I had an injury in my supraspinatus some years ago. Then I was about 4 years without doing exercise. A few years ago I started, slowly and progressively, doing calisthenics (your videos helped me a lot). Sadly, my shoulder problem has returned. Can you recommend some exercises to help me to get back? Thank you in advance. Edit: I forgot to mention that I have been doing physical therapy exercises for the shoulder, and I think i will start doing your (this) routine.
I recover now from slap tear in my right shoulder. I find this exercises very useful. I subscribe. Thanks for your time and help.
Wow loved this an x gymnast/ pole dancer/yogi with awful shoulders this is brilliant thank you
Hi, I have a tear on my spraspinatus tendon on my left shoulder. I have been doing the rehab exercises prescribed by a orthopedic doctor. But it just keeps getting worse. Any exercises to strengthen the torn shoulder??
Could you do a video on warm up before stretching in the morning if you do?
Honestly one of the only YouTube fitness channel where the guy doing it is actually pretty fucking mobile and hes jacked thats wassup man u know wat ur doing. Not like that other dude antraks or whatever he mobile sure but he looking soft asf
You just made my morning amazing. I am feeling so much better about my chest. İt was amazing to stay at last position. I will not beg my friends to massage my neck thanks a lot
Why doing 1:18 my shoulder does crunching and clicking sounds?
Do u need to posterior pelvic tilt when doing it prone position?
Used to do skin the cat for fun in school, now mid 40s and never exercised but discovered calisthenics 2 months ago when I decided to exercise regularly. Great progress but I’ve had shoulder pain on right side for many months before, kind of limiting when aiming to get to their/your level. Will try these when I get bands and access to rings etc.
Was searching for a video on shoulder flexibility a few hours ago. Thanks Tom!!
I’m always worried that 15 minutes will feel sooo long. But it’s really over much quicker than I think. Thank you!
I’m envious of how much control you have of your body. I hope to one day with enough work be as good as you. Love your content.
My partner and I have been doing follow alongs on your channel every night before bed to help us unwind in these difficult times and we feel really good. Thank you so much for making videos for all levels. You are our rockstar!
The external rotation shown at 4:50 should be included in all videos about pushup/bench press, and pull-up.. it’s usually not that obvious!
“Bend the bar” at bench-press, for example, isn’t said enough.
You see it at push-ups, when done correctly, in that the biceps looks to be more at the front of the arm, and not pointing inwards.
Have a rotator cuff injury and wonder if this would be helpful to me to strengthen my shoulders as I am so upset and want to get back to upper body training thank you for sharing all your incredible amazing workouts
Do you have any videos for winging scapulas and pain between the shoulder blades?
Any chance you could do a mobility and stretching routine everyday for a month?
Thanks for this Tom. My shoulders seem to be as stubborn as a mule too, so this helps heaps. Please can you share the link for the butcher’s block exercise that you mention in the video? I couldn’t seem to find it in the description. Cheers!
I just did 2 reps of skin the cat i heard this crackle pop sound in my left shoulder that had mobility issues for months now.. its fuckin gone holy shit!! I am so fucking happy haha
Wish I’d found this before making my new video, I would have tried it out!
Another informative & detailed video by man flow yoga.I don’t know why people are unaware from this gr8 channel all the information and training are free here. there are so much of gr8 content are available here from the absolute begginer to the pro level. Keep going brother.
I know you’ve probably read something like this before but WOW just WOW. Most definitely in love and not just with you but your knowledge and ability. sexy as fuck. lol
my shoulders were crying just from watching this.. they’re soooo tight.
You will be pretty proud of me when I say my shoulders do not hurt and I am a competitive swimmer
I stumbled across your channel at Xmas time to try and help with constant tightness And I’ve found it incredible! Can always find a session to suit my need.
Being a 40 year old carpenter I have plenty of aches and pains and this is helping immensely!
Can’t thank you enough!
Thanks for the video. But one of my shoulders hurts TOO much, it feels like a loose piece inside and causes the entire upper trapezius to the tendon of the ear to be “pulled”, leaving not only the shoulder but also the upper half of the back with a lot of pain… whatever movement such as flexion, barbell, bench press, shoulder lift, I feel terrible pain, it does not affect my training as well as my life. I feel like I’m never going to fix it. Has anyone else been through this and can you give me a light? It is on only one side.
Hey guys how are you, nice job.
I have a question, I have dislocated completely four times my right shoulder, and about to dislocate my left. So, are these exercises going to help me and improve my shoulders, or are there other ones better for this problem, thank you, nice day.
PD: sorry for my English, im from Costa Rica. Thanks.
Your videos are great I am 6″6 and focusing on mobility it feels good to see your videos
Some if these movements involve serious internal rotation. Isn’t that bad for your shoulder? How do I know when is it okay and when is it bad?
I’m probably doing this wrong, but I really didn’t feel that much stretch in these exercises
Your body is incredible, Like a statue of a Greek God, I am so impressed by your routine it’s awesome!!!
Thank you, for these pain-free work-outs and mercy healing…
I could only dream of this “super hero” strenght AND flexibillity!
I feel like years, and years, of built up tension being released as o follow along some of your video’s. Thanks for all your guidance, the YouTube community is grateful.
Peace, and God bless.
Thanks for the tip, I’m going to try doing this, looks so easy, would this be okay for starters or should the angle be decreased? Thx again, great to watch your inspiring workouts!
Dear Tom, this is the first time I have written to you, although I have only recently known your videos, and have really enjoyed the content and the way you present it. I want to tell you that the shoulder stretches, in another video of yours, and this one of exercises of flexibility and strength for the shoulders, is of extreme importance for me, who suffer with pain in my right shoulder, as well as thousands of other people. Stretching had a very good effect, and I am sure that these exercises will also improve pain. I will try to make them and give a return. Congratulations and success!
Spot on Tom, although when returning with downward rotation my right shoulder sounds like it’s eating an apple, crunch, crunch, crunch!
I can’t get my handstand straight I’ve tried squeezing my glutes
Ive learned so much from your channel, obviously the best in youtube.
Can i do mobility exercises before training? When is the best time?
PLEASE! NEED A VIDEO ABOUT STRONG AND HEALTHY SPINE AS WELL!
