Recurring dislocated shoulder

[Greggy]

If it keeps popping out U have to get surgery. I had 3 surgeries (2 lazerscopic and one open) and I was told I had to much muscle in the front and not enough in the back and could not composate. So before my surgery I had a fight nad did a lot of back and lat work outs and did not pop out during the fight, but it did when was carying a heavy bag up some stairs LOL. I just got the surgery about 6 months ago and have had zero problems so far, but have to work out a lot of my back and lats.

both of mine pop out.

if i'm punching correctly its not a problem for me. that was the thing that stopped me from punching wide.


i still wake up in the morning sometimes and find my are in an odd position and the fear of it dislocating again scares the crap out of me.

its the worst pain i've ever had. period.

If the problem is your shoulder, why would you be working your lats?

The latissimus dorsi is responsible for extension, adduction, transverse extension also known as horizontal abduction, flexion from an extended position, and internal rotation of the shoulder joint. It also has a synergistic role in extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine.

as well alot of lat exercises tend to also work the other muscles like the delts, serratus anterior and, levator scapulae which greatly involve the movement of the shoulder.

though i guess if it was an unbalance problem possibly the best bet would have been to work the delts first and see if that fixed anything, though working all the muscles involved all together is just better for the body as working only the delts would have just caused another muscle un balance.

I'm aware of that but if his front deltoids are out of proportion to his posterior deltoids, working the lats is not going to restore proportion and balance to his shoulders.


EDIT: Sorry. I must have misread the original post.

Is his entire back out of proportion or just his shoulders?

In that case, the lats would be a good thing to work.

Throw in some Bent Over Rows, Pull-Ups, Shrugs, Deadlifts. I'd personally go with Pull-Ups over Pulldowns

agreeded and thats usually what happens with the front being weaker then the back but in his case it was the back weaker then the front dont know if working the lats have much of a diffrence in that case with the back needing bulking but i added on that working the lats will improve the delts and that i agreed that working the delts first would have probly been best but over working them to another un blance would have just continued to cause injurys.

got any advice for exercises to work the front delts? all i can think of is where you raise the bar bell or what ever out infront of you arms extended. also then doing the same thing with arms kinda half way between your side and straight out infront of you.

Outside of Front Raises, I personally believe the front delts already get worked enough doing things like Bench and any kind of OH Press. In fact I think the delts in general are very easy to over-train given how often they are used. Not just in the gym but daily activities.

I dont do any type of benching or any of that stuff becuse i feel that it adds to much muscle to the sternal head of the pectoral major and biceps, though seated overhead press appears to work the pec minor and clavical head of the pec major which can be helpful ill have to add some of them to my routine, thanks.

It's out again.

Think I did it while sleeping.
