| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Jay Faruja show, the podcast that helps high achieving men get lean and jacked, build an unbreakable mindset, and become the man you're meant to be. |
| 0:19.1 | What's up, guys? Thanks for tuning back into the show. I appreciate each and every one of you for listening, for hitting the download button, for subscribing, for leaving reviews on iTunes and sharing the show on Instagram. Thank you so much. Now, today's episode is on how to fix and prevent shoulder pain. As we get older, over 40, that's the last thing you want is shoulder pain. But if you've been in the gym long enough, of course, you're going to have some nagging aches and pains, some injuries, some little things here and niggle here and there that you don't really want. Ideal world is we have none of those, right? So what we want to do is minimize those, rehab some of those, prehab so we don't get those in the future, eliminate the ones we do have, and just train smarter. |
| 0:59.3 | And that's where I want to go with this, is it's more about training smarter than it is doing hours and hours of rehab every week. |
| 1:06.6 | If you've been training incorrectly for years, sure, you banged yourself up. |
| 1:10.2 | You train like an idiot in your 20s, maybe your 30s. |
| 1:12.7 | Hopefully not all through your 40s, but hey, many of us did. |
| 1:16.1 | I'm a meathead. |
| 1:16.6 | I get it. |
| 1:17.0 | I'm competitive. |
| 1:17.9 | I'm out of my mind. |
| 1:19.5 | I lose all sense of reality and sanity when the bell rings and it's time to go. |
| 1:25.0 | So I've been there and done that, but I'm going to share it with you guys |
| 1:27.6 | some ways that we can, we can mitigate that because we don't, we don't want that as we all. |
| 1:31.8 | We want to keep training forever. It's our passion. We love it. We're meatheads. We like to clang and bang. We like to get a pump. We like to get strong. But let's do it in the safest way possible. So again, if you're training properly, you should not need to warm up for an hour. |
| 1:45.8 | You should not need to warm up for an hour. |
| 1:45.7 | You should not need all these rehab drills. |
| 1:47.8 | You shouldn't have to be in ART and massage and all kinds of soft tissue treatments and getting |
| 1:54.5 | dry needling and everything under the sun 24-7. |
| 1:58.1 | Do I think you should do that for maintenance as you get older? Of course, you bring your car in. You always want to optimize things. You update your phone and whatever. You always want to continue to take care of yourself. So before we get into the training on a weekly basis, if you're over 40 and you're pushing hard, then I think you should be getting a deep tissue massage once a week would be ideal if not every other week but for most of you guys |
| 2:17.7 | listen let's let's push it right let's let's do once a week if you have someone good who does active |
| 2:22.1 | release i believe it's active release.com or it might be active release techniques.com just google it find |
