While some people can get away with performing bad exercises again and again, other people cannot. Many people wonder why this is. For example, with the shoulders, many gym people do bad exercises like the upright row where the arms are internally rotated and coming up, which can over time cause shoulder damage and a rotator cuff tear.
At the edge of one's shoulder blade there is a structure called the Acromion. In people, this structure can be several different shapes. While with one type of shape one will have more room in the subacromial space of their shoulder, other shapes will provide less room and more potential for the structures in that space to jam.
Your shoulder genetics will determine the shape of the structures at your shoulder. With a flat acromion shape, there is more room in your shoulder. The second type is a curved shape, where there is less room. In the worst type, the hook shape, there is even less room, which can cause significant problems.
Ultimately, one will not be able to tell what their shape is. This is why proper form in the gym is so important. Don't do the lateral raise exercise with the thumbs pointed down, as that internally rotates your arm. Don't do the upright row either. Do safer exercises instead that workout the same muscles. This will allow you to avoid shoulder pain and save yourself in the long term.
