I'm seeing conflicting information about shoulder exercises for swimming. A recent article on SwimSwam (swimswam.com/.../) talks about doing all the Jobe's Shoulder Exercises to help prevent shoulder injury. But then I've seen other info that warns swimmers against over-training the shoulders in their cross training, and avoiding dryland work on the muscles we already work a'plenty (like here: saycoperformance.com/.../)
So what do you think of this, ie focusing the dryland on the lesser-used muscles? Which Jobes exercises would you ditch?
. There are shoulder exercises that should be avoided, like dips. .Just recently (like just over a week ago) first handedly confirmed that dips are incompatible with an instable (unstable?) shoulder. I did a set of 9 x 8 and the following several days my bum shoulder was loose, creaky, and in the mood to dislocate. Never will I do dips again! I must perform pushups once a year for my job, but the list of never to do movements include
1) dips
2) military presses
3) bench presses (incline included)
4) handstands (I was getting good at these)
5) or any other pressing
All my strengthening exercises include dumbbells, band, cables, and rotater cuff movements.
If my shoulders are tired from swimming I do nothing strenuous
