A few years back, I wrecked my shoulder.
Bike accident.
Kept training heavy anyway.
Then one night doing chin-ups… pop.
Rotator cuff torn.
Bicep ripped off the shoulder.
Full shoulder reconstruction.
After surgery, the physio asked me to do a push-up.
I couldn’t even do half of one on my knees.
Rehab started with the usual stuff… bands, isolation work, internal/external rotations.
Good… but something was missing.
My shoulder was stronger in pieces, but it didn’t move well as a system.
That’s when I discovered Indian clubs.
Circular movements that retrained how my shoulder actually worked… cuff, scapula, delts, thoracic spine, all firing together.
Indian Clubs gave me…
- Pain-free shoulder movement again
- Better control and stability in every angle
- Stronger pressing and pulling once I returned to the gym
- Improved shoulder mobility without losing strength
- More resilient shoulders that don’t flare up under load
- And confidence to train hard again without second-guessing my shoulder
I documented the exact process I used…
- What I did in the early rehab phase
- How I progressed movement without pain
- When I knew it was time to add strength
- …And how I eventually got back to pressing, pulling, and chin-ups
I break it all down in todays video.
If you’ve had…
- Shoulder surgery
- Ongoing shoulder pain
- …Or you just want shoulders that last for the long haul
This one’s worth your time.
Enjoy!
