    Not touching chest on bench

    Did you have an MRI? If so, is something torn/inflamed? if so, what? Generally, for the bench press, you'll just need the rotator cuff firing correctly and strong enough, aswell as adequate shoulder mobility. Scapular function isn't so important because the bench will functionally stabilize it...

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    Hope it stays that way bro, good attitude but watch your back. Hematoma is a collection of blood, basically a bruise. Hernia in this case, is pretty much the intestine breaking through the deep abdominal wall. Although the 'small lumps' you talk about sound more like the lymphatic nodes. Wish...

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    Awesome! Sorry, wasn't meant like that! Yeah I agree. Stretching vs. impingement, good point. However I don't see any reason that drugs (injections) should be attempted as a first try "just to check". If the nerve is stretched rather than pinched, the muscles that possibly grip the nerve needs...

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    Hip extension you mean? Hip flexion would release the pressure on the nerve. What good would injection of the nerve do, when it's acting up due to tightness of a muscle ?

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    You do realize that he psoas is attached to the femur right? Tight doesn't necessarily mean unstable. Why would the curve be excessive when he's not fully extending?

    Only when standing, hence my advice of stopping before vertical.

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    Well it didn't make sense to me, as the femoral nerve is short when pelvis is flexed. So why would he have problem during dead and squat due to a tight psoas unless only at the top? And none of this have anything to do with the weight used, which led me To call bull****. I think the symptoms...

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    Walk like a duck? Externally Rotates feet? Could be femoral Nerve impingement, could also be the obturator (makes more sense, from what your symptoms are) If your hip flexors are tight and you have shooting pains, could definitely be femoral nerve. But I think it's strange that you're not...

    For the PT guys - Scar tissue in Hips/Psoas

    A tight psoas isn't a problem in dead lift or squat (unless you're gonna compete). Just start with your back a little bent. If the problem is in the bottom of a squat, that's the pectineus which is causing the problem. The reason it hurts in the same spot is that they glide over the same...

    Lower Lat Tie In and overall BACK help

    No problem man. The elbows should be pointing(and moving) down the exact same way as the way you're pulling. Not stick out backward, which it will if the scapula isn't kept stable (and the trapz will be targeted instead). Hope this helps bro

    Not touching chest on bench

    Complete bull****. As usual the doctors don't know anything about sportsinjuries. Get your shoulderblades back and down, make sure all your four rotator cuff muscles are strong, and not too tight. Also biceps, triceps, lats, teres major and coraco brachialis should not be excessively tight...

    Lower Lat Tie In and overall BACK help

    Good. The elbows need to be pulled to the chest and slightly backward. Not horizontal, like it would if the scapula is not functioning properly, and don't allow the arms to internally rotate either. Happy to hear it bro!

    Lower Lat Tie In and overall BACK help

    Well, kind of hard without being with you. Basically you need to make sure the scapula locks down posteriorly as you pull down, in or whatever. You do NOT want the scapula to wing out, excessively retract or protract(rare), anteriorly rotate, etc If the scapular is elevated (dysfunctional...

    Lower Lat Tie In and overall BACK help

    Sounds like your scapula doesn't lock properly with the serratus anterior. This will inhibit the lats.

    Tight Hips and Squatting

    Stretch these: Hamstrings Calves Pectineus Adductor brevis Hammy may take a while to get adequate length, so don't squat lower that your hip mobility allow. A common symptom is that clients with this type of problem never really feel that their glutes get targeted.

    Shoulder Injury

    Sounds like thoracic outlet syndrome. Could be rooted in rotator cuff, as inhibition will up regulate the lats and teres major, trapping the axillary nerve (supply to the shoulder!) this is rare but it does happen. Malfunction is subscapularis is main reason, and you need to train it. Because...
