Shoulder Health for Home Gym Lifters
Shoulders are vulnerable to overuse from pressing. Balance every pressing set with a pulling set—face pulls, rows, external rotations. Warm up shoulders thoroughly before benching: band pull-aparts, arm circles, light sets. Avoid excessive benching frequency—3x weekly is plenty. If shoulders hurt, switch to neutral grip (Swiss bar) or dumbbells temporarily. Prevention beats rehab every time.
