If you're doing this to improve your shoulder mobility, or to rid your wings of that gnarly front-sided shoulder pain, you may be setting yourself up for injury. This stretch is potentially injurious for many reasons. First, a manual stretch like this needs to be executed with the utmost caution due to its passive nature and the direction of stress.

Don't trust the guy with a basic personal training certification to force your joints into risky positions. Why It Sucks The shoulders are forced into a position that poses huge potential problems. If the goal is to stretch the pecs, it's important that you take into account both the primary and secondary actions of the pec so you can achieve an authentic stretch to terminal end range without pissing off the periphery.

When doing it, your pecs can be taken to full stretch with a combination of shoulder horizontal abduction, elevation, and external rotation. The partner-forced pec stretch absolutely targets horizontal abduction, no argument there. The problem arises when the shoulders fall into internal rotation and extension.

This creates some nasty joint stress through the front side of the shoulder. In this position, the muscular fibers of the pec lose the ability to be targeted directly with end range stretch, and the anterior structures of the shoulders – mainly the capsule – will get the head of the humerus jammed into it.

While lifters love the idea of stretching yourself back to pain-free training, that's usually not how it works. Do This Instead Dynamic Oscillatory Pec Stretch The risk-benefit ratio for end-range passive stretching of the shoulder doesn't usually add up, so that's why I depend on dynamic oscillatory stretching for the pecs.
