AND I'LL BE.....WHAT!?!?! (My lav mic died right there at the end of filming so we thought it'd be funny just to cut it off, for once I don't get to say my full outro) Got a special guest today, Vinnie Rehab, a very knowledgeable physiotherapist with 10 years experience in the field. We want to turn this into a regular series where Vinnie comes in and breaks down common issues and the best way to go about fixing them. If you want to see this turned into a regular series, like the video and leave a comment below.

"What's cracking guys?" My shoulders is :(

Omar im not even kidding, i did both these exercises at the end of my back workout today and LITERALLY after like 6 hours I looked in the mirror and i saw so much improvement in my rounded shoulders/ hunch back. THANK YOU SO MUCH and keep up the goodwork

Vinnie is the man! He made me stop walking like a duck when I met him in Toronto.

This guy is a cool balance of professional/educated and casual. He will be teaching me something and then just say FUCK YOU (6:10)

skip to 2:00 for explanation on why tight S.A. muscles rounds shoulders skip to 4:20 - release Serratus Anterior (foam roller) skip to 5:20 - release Serratus Anterior (hanging stretch)

I've been binge watching your channel lately, new subscriber. I'm loving how informative your videos are. Thank you!

Camera quality on point!

I did the foam roller for the first time watching this, and I already saw a difference! In trying to maintain good posture, I've felt tension trying to keep my shoulder blades downward and inward and that lessened! My shoulder blades also did not jut out in as rounded a fashion as normal, and I'm thrilled. Because hunchback is not cute at all, not in the slightest. I'd love to learn more and I hope you post another video on this soon!

I'm currently completing my course as a physiotherapist (physical therapist). This is rather inspirational, hope i can turn out to be a person that provides rehabilitation to the likes of Omar!

This is insanely helpful, Omar this has been your most useful video for me to date please bring him back as much as possible.

The hang stretch has transformed my life. Cheers.

OMAR DUDE YOU ROCK MAN. Seriously thanks for these videos with more of the anatomical focus. Much appreciated by a future nursing student.

"I have been treating patients for 10 years. In my first 8 years I sucked." LOL

see, i presented this same issue to my physiotherapist ( well former physiotherapist he released me still injured and i haven't really worked since july) and he simply said its cuz my chest over powers my back. ever since i watched a video from elliot hulse about hips and how that effects lifting and posture and all that ive really started to pay attention. its great to see a different approach and hopefully the results will follow. thanks for always trying to go above and beyond with your content. depending on how this goes i might go visit this dude.

As a student into his second year of university pursuing a degree in physio, I will just like to say that I truly appreciate the tips Vinnie gave at the end of the video about prescribing small amounts of exercises at one time to treat a patient. Thanks for the wisdom and advice!!!

Thanks for this video Omar!! right now I am recovering from shoulder impingement!!,, I've always been extremely aware of my shoulders,, working on my rotatory cuff, rear delts, mobility,, etc!!! and I still got injured!! this videos are really really helpful!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks again!

Ive been row row rowing my boat for months now as well as stretching out the whole chest, both pec major and minor. At one point no longer working out my chest. Ive had no luck with anything. I actively think about my posture and standing up straight but still nothing works. My back is a mess, the whole upper back hurts and both my shoulder blades protrude outwards. I would do anything for a flat back. Ill do this everyday from now on and hopefully it works.

Thanks Omar. I've been struggling for over a year now with a injury I got as loader at UPS. I had to cut out anything that involved my arms going overhead. I've tried smashing, rolling, voodoo flossing everything in the upper body except the serratus. I gave these two exercise a shot. I'm seeing so much improvement. I was able to do pull-ups and not feel any kind of pain. Once again thank you for this video and I can't wait for the follow up.

Form rolling serratus anterior is the most relaxing posture exercise I have ever did. More people should learn this stretching it is amazing.

This guy deserves to have his own show

I need this, thank you!! Looking forward to the next videos on this subject. :)

I have the round shoulders. However I think to eliminate the root of the cause for this problem is that too much sitting. You have these weird round back chairs that put your posture to the worst possible state which makes your shoulders come forward. Get an ergonomic chair and have a flat back support chair so you can rest your shoulder blades flat on the back of chair to prevent this problem. Obviously do these exercises to aid with the recovery.

praise the Sun!!!! dark soul it uo

I really liked this video because out of all the shoulder problem videos ive looked up this guy really got into all the pros and cons and he helped figure out what was really wrong with my shoulder

This guy is really informative. I've had rounded shoulders and thus winged scapula, all because my right serratus anterior is fucked. When standing in front of the mirror its pretty much non existent, but doing serratus anterior exercises as mentioned is helping both issues.

Great vid Omar. Mobility is so important and I feel we in the fitness industry dont do it enough justice.

Great video, although I've always been under the impression that myofascial release is more of a temporary fix. Your serratus anterior will have less tension immediately after foam rolling but once you go back to sitting all day it will just tighten right back up. But if you can strengthen those rhomboids, rear delts, and mid/lower trapezius then it will allow you to sit in a better position, not have the serratus and pec minor tighten up due to your improved posture, and therefore be more of a permanent fix. This has been my perspective on it as a trainer, but if someone more knowledgeable could shed some light on this it would be appreciated!

Omar not a celebrity. Omar has such a cool personality, non douchy at all and humble

Vinnie is the man. I suffer from rounding shoulders and this was just in time.

Hell yea!!! This is the best and I'm so glad you are having informative, preventative, and solutions for all our problems and ailments. A little dramatic but you know what I mean. Can't wait to see more videos and learn!!! Thank you both Omar and vinnie

have been coming accross your vids on and off for about 6 months now, dont know why it took me so long but im finally subscribed.... and i have a fckd up shoulder!!! yay!!!

Would be a great series, keep it up guys

If you can do a video on lordosis( anterior pelvic tilt) too, would be a great help.

Bring him on weekly. Help me fix my posture !!!

Thanks for this Omar. I've had a shoulder issue for close to a fucking year now and with tons of different exercises and professional physical therapy its still sorta fucked. Simple and effective would be great as for awhile I was running "the gauntlet" which is a routine I named for the insane amount of shoulder fixer movements I was doing like 4 days a week.... took like 30 mines to make it though it all and nobody got time to do that amount of shit for that long especially when you don't notice a lot of improvement. Keep posting stuff like this cause I'm sure there are a lot of people out there with messed up shoulders.

Omar I loved this episode, I'd love to see you two collabing a lot more fixing all of the common body issues

More of this guy for fixing rounded shoulders please

Thank you so much Omar

Liked for the Dark Souls shirt

I've been doing these for over a month now. Seems to be helping. Thanks! Looking forward to part 2

I would like this to be a regular series. awesome.

Awesome info guys! Look forward to the next one.

Awesome video and looks like a really good series starting. Super excited to watch and get some healthy ass shoulders. Best fitness content on youtube

Now THIS is some unconventional wisdom. Very nice Omar, very original content.

1500th like here, keep these mobility videos coming, they're the holy grail for me. I need to know how to get perfect mobility for squtting atg, not improve it a little to the point where i still suck, but get much much much better ankle and hip mobility, if you solve this you're god to me.

Really want to hear more from Vinnie about the shoulder. Great info thx!

Hanging for healthy shoulders is actually very effective. Used it to almost completely cure my impingement.

still my favourite channel never gets boring and now a new segment on how to keep the body in good condition.. and this shit is free!! keep it going Omar :)

Awesome video. Thanks Omar

Awesome guy (really comfortable in front of a camera too!) and some good advice that you don't see being recommended enough.

more Vinnie videos! great stuff.

Good vid assmuff, def gonna try this stretches.

awesome video as usual omar......keep it coming

This guy is fucking AWESOME. Good job Omar!

Great video Omar! Excellent content!

Continue with this series Omar, they are very helpfull.

get him on more, he's is such a funny chill dude, thumbs up!

Thanks Omar and Vinnie! Definitely gonna be doing this.

Can't wait to see his take on hip mobility.

Quality content Omar!

6 years later this is still valuable as f

you do not understand how helpful this is to me OMG thank you so much omar!!!

This is awesome content thanks Omar and Vinnie! Would love to see something on fixing anterior pelvic tilts. Keep up the primo work guys ✌

SO glad you are teaming up! Can't wait for more like this!

It's about time someone releases informative content on YT. But seriously, great video Omar

It's like you can read my mind, i found about this problem that i have like 2 weeks ago and trying different ways to fix it, it's just my right shoulder that is a bit rounder (no idea why) and my trainer told me to stretch pectoralis and front delts, and strenghten my romboids :C thank's alot for this video Omar! Really saved me, gonna try to use this technique starting from tomorrow and we'll see what happens!

Great content. I've been having issues with tightness in the pec tendon/frontal shoulder area and it's been preventing me from getting stronger on bench. Interesting point about releasing rather than strengthening, gonna give it a shot.

Lots of cleans, deadlifts, snatches, pullups, rows, and mobility!

love these videos man , keep them coming

VINNIE! I'm so into his work and Instagram tips. This was awesome, thanks Omar!

What if you have scapular winging along with rounded shoulders, which A LOT of people with poor posture have? Foaming the serratus anterior would make no sense.

Props to Vinnie, he really knows how to adversite his work!

if you have injured your back I would be wary of these exercises until you get a proper diagnosis. And I do mean injury. Otherwise this is good stuff. I picked up an injury to the thoracic vertebrae 2 months back (see what I did there:) ) and with any forced flexion all hell breaks loose. Trying to get an MRI scan done. What I can tell you is was that about 4 ago I had massive problems with tight neck and lats and all that stuff. What fixed it was regular stretches and pull ups/press ups. What these guys say makes senses.

Nice video guys, very informative. I naturally discovered that hanging from the pullup bar really deeply stretched out my chest and back in a way that felt great for my rounded shoulders. I even mentioned this to a chiropractor I was seeing but he didn't suggest I focus on it. I'll be doing it everyday from now on. My only feedback is to leave the swearing out, it doesn't add anything to your message, it's just likely to turn some people off. Thanks again and best of luck.

Thanks for the help with this. So I've been doing the first two exercises but cant find anywhere on your channel for the next exercises. Vinnierehab said he'll come back and give us more. Thanks!

I almost baptized my screen with coffee at 1:45. Very nice, guys! LOL

finally seeing all those doctors was useless and u guys come up with the answer ..amazing thankyou

yea.. ill start doing theses exercices i work as a computer programmer and i tend to do the famous chest tricep day way too often so my shoulders neeed fixin.. ty omar for bringing that guess, really cool guy and i enjoy his way to teach

Wow! This is so helpful! Trying this immediately!

I Think this is a bit oversimplified only looking at the serratus anterior. Most guys tend to overtrain their pecs (pushing) in relation to their upperback (pulling).Looking at the insertions of both pectoralis major (medial proximal humerus) and minor (proc. coracoideus on the scapula) this leads to internal rotation of humerus and forward inclination of the scapula respectively. In my experience this is a way bigger issue then serratus muscle. The way of fixing this is stretching pect maj/min in the correct ways while strengthening external rotators of humerus (the YTWL-excercise).

Awesome sauce! I have been waiting for someone to bring Vinnie on and have him explain some of his tricks to his trade!! Great job setting that up Omar!

Vinnie is the man.

Yes! please continue!!

Another video with vinnie about winged scapula please 🏆

It's like you read my mind & knew I've been having shoulder problems. Thank you. 🙏🏼🙌🏼

Gold. This guy is charismatic.

Hmm... I would combine a serratus anterior stretch with a rhomboid strengthening exercise. Often, when one muscle is overactive (tight) it can cause the antagonist (in this case the upper back or the rhomboids) to become stretched, underactive, or even weak. It never hurts to strengthen the upper back to correct one's posture.

Hanging works !! One and a half I stayed out of the gym because of My left shoulder, could not do bench press anymore , tried hang For 4 or 5 sets, 20 to 30 seconds At the same time pulled my legs up To get in a stomic crunch . The left shoulder is about 98% Now and I'm back bench pressing Again working my way back carefully.,but I alway hang first Great advise here on this video IT WORKS

Great video Oprah!!!

We want more Vinnie!

THAT SHIRT IS AMAZING

Thank you Vinnie!

Pectoralis minor tightness is the main reason for rounded shoulders, Serratus anterior has nothing to do with that

this video really help me, keep making vids like this please.

great video Omar and Vinnie.. I love the message at the end.. it's so true and relates to me.. I get so much information and get so into researching different exercises that I never just stick to one thing and end up doing all this other stuff.. no consistency. Real talk...

Omar, we've discussed the weighted push-up, and this is one of the reasons why I use it. It allows you to press with protraction and keeps the serratus mobile and strong.

I love your videos man. Always looking to educate, awesome. Looking forward to more from Vinnie.

Please make this a regular series

I think this is a misdiagnosis. If your scapula is winging (shoulder rolling forward), it means your serratus anterior isn't firing correctly; it's weak & needs to be strengthened. Your pec minor is the culprit for pulling the scapula forward & making it more difficult for your serratus anterior to fire. Stretch & release your pec minor & strengthen your serratus anterior. He's got it backwards...
