Shoulder Injury Prevention Exercises | T.J. Dillashaw
The video focuses on shoulder rehab and injury prevention exercises using resistance bands. The speaker, who has dealt with bad shoulders and undergone double shoulder surgery, shares two key exercises that have helped him.
1. **Overhead Lift**: Stand on the band with feet apart for tension, then lift the band straight up over your head and slowly lower it back down. This targets the endurance muscles that keep the shoulder stable.
2. **One-Arm Lift**: Lift the band with one arm up to eye level, then extend it out to the side and bring it back in slowly. Repeat three times for each arm.
These exercises aim to enhance shoulder stability, strength, and mobility by focusing on the endurance of the scapular muscles. The speaker emphasizes maintaining good posture and controlled movements throughout the exercises to maximize their effectiveness.
