Getting Geeky with AC Joint Injuries
Lately, I’ve gotten quite a few in-person evaluations and emails relating to acromioclavicular (AC) joint issues.  As such, I figured I’d devote a newsletter to talking about why these injuries are such a pain in the butt, what to do to train around them, and how to prevent them in [...]

As many of you know, Bill Hartman, Mike Robertson, and I are very close to releasing a new product.  In fact, we spent the weekend going through edits on the footage and pulling together the tag-along manuals.
This new product includes a lot of our newer perspectives on assessment and corrective exercise.  Many of the drills [...]

Last week, I published a post on shoulder issues with overhead pressing, and got two good comments as replies:
1. In HS I separated my AC joint during the first game of junior year. I played the rest of the year with out letting it heal, and to this day I have still have shoulder issues [...]

1. It’s a fun time of year around Cressey Performance, as all the college guys are starting to roll back in, and the high school baseball playoffs are nearly at hand.  Brian St. Pierre was so excited about it that he tried to high five on of our power racks with his forehead.  He (and [...]

I received this email from Kevin Miller, a high school strength and conditioning coach in Pennsylvania, who recently completed the Maximum Strength program:
I recently completed the 16 week Maximum Strength program by Eric Cressey, and I wanted to give my review on the program. I am 37 years old. I played H.S football and baseball [...]

Shoulder Impingement….Yes, We Get It.
Roughly 10-15 times per week, I get emails from folks who claim that they have “shoulder impingement.” Honestly, I roll my eyes the second I read these emails.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not making light of their pain. It’s just that it drives me crazy when doctors throw this blanket statement [...]

Q: I’ve found your articles on T-Nation very informative, and enjoy the format you use to convey your message (with humor!).
My specific interest is in the information you provide about your shoulder problems, as you’ve noticed in the subject line I recently had my shoulder scoped in February to repair a labral tear. I did [...]

1. Here’s a great article on the potential drawbacks of yoga. I’ve written about this before, but it’s nice to see someone else providing a “user’s perspective.”
2. My girlfriend deadlifted 250 and benched 135 this week. She’s awesome and I’m the luckiest guy in the world.
3. I’ve written about it before, and I’m [...]

Q: Technique aside, what is your prescription for combat sport athletes looking to prevent injury from striking? To clarify; when myself and a few of my boxing brethren hit the super-heavy bag, or the firm thai pads, we often feel the reverberation in our arms and rear delts. Personally, I have an injury to my [...]

Q: Is there any reason why there is such a big incidence of pec tears during benching in comparison to shoulder/triceps/lat tears, especially if powerlifting style is supposed to de-emphasize the use of the pecs?
A: Research at Indiana University found that cross-sectional area of the subscapularis is the best predictor of powerlifting performance, believe it [...]
