Inner Circle 16 - Your Shoulder Counts Everything

<p>Most people think load management is simply about choosing the right weight in the gym.</p><p>But after coaching injured lifters for more than twenty years, Rad and I have found that&#39;s only part of the picture.</p><p>Recently, someone working through our free <a href="https://unitygym.com/slap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Coaching In Your Inbox</strong></a> series emailed us to say his shoulder was feeling much better. He&#39;d even increased the weights on some of his rehab exercises.</p><p>Then, just a few hours later, his shoulder flared up.</p><p>At first, it seemed obvious that he&#39;d progressed too quickly.</p><p>But as we kept asking questions, a completely different cause emerged.</p><p>He&#39;d also started swimming again.</p><p>That conversation became the perfect reminder that your shoulder doesn&#39;t separate gym training from the rest of your life. It simply experiences total load.</p><p>In this episode, I explain one of my favourite analogies for understanding shoulder pain and rehabilitation: the <strong>load capacity cup</strong>.</p><p>You&#39;ll learn why pain often isn&#39;t caused by the last thing you did, but by the combination of everything you&#39;ve exposed your shoulder to throughout the day.</p><p>More importantly, I&#39;ll explain why great rehabilitation isn&#39;t about avoiding load forever.</p><p>It&#39;s about gradually increasing your shoulder&#39;s capacity so it can tolerate more training, more sport, and more of the activities you enjoy.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever felt like your shoulder pain came out of nowhere, or you&#39;ve been frustrated because your rehab suddenly stopped working, I think this episode will completely change the way you think about recovery.</p><p>Click play, and I&#39;ll explain what I mean.</p><p>👉 <strong>Watch the YouTube video:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/7gh2RRpktNQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><em>Fastest Way To Pain Free Lifting After A SLAP Tear</em></a></p><p>👉 <a href="https://unitygym.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>Learn more about what it&#39;s like to work with us</strong></a></p>
