As long as there's no pain or discomfort felt during this, there's no reason to worry.

Bringing the bar down to the middle of your head rather than all the way down to your neck will save your rotator cuffs, but I prefer not to use a limited range of motion when performing any exercises.

I have a question though: is it bad that after doing certain shoulder exercises that I can roll my shoulders and sometimes hear a pop. I have not felt any pain when this happens, but I want to check any way. Thanks and I hope to check your site for more advice and I plan on sharing your site with others! -Michael Steve,

(6 years ago) i had a partial subluxation last year and have been through rehab such as light weights and band work, (i still use the band once to twice a week for strength and stretching) i workout my shoulders at the gym, 1 to 2 times a week. ive always kept away from anything behind the head, (as my physio stated and yourself) the shoulder roll you have showed on here is something i was not told of and have found very useful, i was wondering, what would be your top 5 best shoulder workouts for someone with my shoulder history? steve: this is awesome, thanks so much for this information. it has helped me so much. i have had both my shoulders operated on in the past due to dislocation.

I would seek out an ART practitioner and try to have that scar tissue broken up. It could be something else too, so you might want to check with your doctor. The temporary fix might be to limit your range of motion until you get the clicking dealt with. Kelvin: you might have some scar tissue in your shoulder.

Any ideas as to something im doing wrong, or shouldn't be doing at all? hey steve!

I hope it's not that rotator cuff, but if it is you should definitely put your time into rehab and NOT come back to lifting heavy too quickly. Aryan:
