It’s not effective for you. For now. The inflammation is your body’s way of saying “Dude, I don’t like that.” Listening to that recurring signal and adapting your plan accordingly should bring the kind of results you’re looking for.
The movement pattern is identical. The variations - dumbbell vs Smith vs standing barbell - don’t change the anatomical function of the shoulder joint.
[quote]My back workout consists of deadlift, one arm rows, reverse grip incline rows (and sometimes close grip hanging rows). This is recent. My focus is lats at the moment.
My regular back-workout is deadlift, close grip rows, wide grip pulldowns or wide grip rows.[/quote]
I’d try to incorporate more not-wide-grip pulldown variations, to work the full ROM of overhead shoulder flexion/extension.
Definitely a good sign. I’d still avoid movements/movement patterns that irritate it, even if the irritation always seems to go away quickly (for now).
Consider DeFranco’s Shoulder Shocker. It’s a triset of plate raises (yeah, still a front raise), lateral raises, seated clean and press (same weight as laterals).
I suppose you could drop the plate raise, but I’mma guess DeFranco has a solid reason for including it.
