My Shoulder Twitched - 12 Exercises I'm Doing To Fix My Impaired Shoulder Movement

Suddenly your shoulder clicks and you are in a land of pain whenever you move out of a minimal range of motion with your arm. I know. It happened to me. I was doing nothing more than brushing my hair.

That's a scary thought, especially after 20 years of progressively building my muscular strength and endurance.
​
There's good news and bad news. The good news is that our muscles don't turn to fat - that's not even remotely true. The bad news is that our bodies will accumulate more fat if we continue to eat the same amount as we did with more muscle.

More gains in less time with this single-move whole-body workout

​I've been training now for 20+ years, since I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at 50.
