Even though you’re really strong, does your shoulder still hurt?
That’s usually not a strength issue. It’s a stability issue.
The glenohumeral joint is inherently unstable, so if you can’t control the joint properly, your body won’t let you express full strength, no matter how strong your pecs or delts are.
In this example, myself and Mert are not trying to lift heavy. We’re targeting shoulder stability. The kettlebell variation challenges your ability to control the position of the joint, rather than just producing force.
Once you improve that control, everything starts to change. Pressing feels stronger, movement feels cleaner, and pain often settles.
