How to Modify Speediance Adjustable Bench Workouts for Shoulder Injuries

Injuries can throw a wrench into your fitness routine, especially when they involve something as vital as your shoulders. But here’s the good news: an injury doesn’t have to mean the end of your workouts. With the Speediance Adjustable Bench, you can tailor your exercises to keep making progress while protecting your shoulders. Let’s dive into how you can modify your workouts to stay on track—without causing further injury.

Why Shoulder-Friendly Workouts Matter

Your shoulders are one of the most versatile and mobile joints in your body, but that also makes them more prone to injury. If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, you know how it can affect your entire upper-body routine. So, how do you work around it?

Enter the Speediance Adjustable Bench. Its versatility allows you to adapt your exercises to reduce strain on your shoulders, ensuring you stay active while promoting recovery.

Top Tips for Modifying Bench Workouts

1. Focus on Proper Support

Shoulder injuries often stem from poor form or overloading weak muscles. Using the Speediance Adjustable Bench in an incline position can reduce pressure on your shoulders during pressing movements. For example, instead of flat bench presses, try a shallow incline to engage your chest more while sparing your shoulders.

2. Adjust Your Range of Motion

Lifting through a full range of motion might not always be safe when you’re nursing an injury. Modifying the movement—such as reducing how far you lower the weights—can help protect your shoulders. The Speediance Adjustable Bench offers multiple settings, allowing you to find the perfect angle for a safer workout.

3. Incorporate Supported Rows

Rows are excellent for strengthening your back and stabilising your shoulders. Use the Rowing Bench alongside the adjustable bench for supported rows. This setup minimises strain on your shoulders while building crucial stabilising muscles.

Safe and Effective Exercises for Shoulder Recovery

The Speediance Adjustable Bench isn’t just about modification—it’s about opportunity. Here are some shoulder-friendly exercises to try:

1. Incline Dumbbell Press

Set the bench to a slight incline to shift focus onto your chest. Keep the weights light and focus on controlled movements.

2. Seated Shoulder External Rotations

Using light resistance, sit on the bench and perform external rotations to strengthen your rotator cuff—a key muscle group for shoulder stability.

3. Dumbbell Floor Press

If even an incline feels uncomfortable, try a floor press using the bench as support for your legs. This exercise limits your range of motion, reducing strain on your shoulders.
