brief background on my problem. I have TWO dislocated shoulders...and they always pop when working out my upperback. Its just one excercise that it gets ripped out of its socket. YES i know surgery is on its way..but not in the IMMEDIATE future. any other good excercises for your upper back without using the machine with the bar when you pull it behind your head.thank you

well first off, behind the neck pulldowns are ATROCIOUS to even regular shoulders, let alone dislocated one. stop doing them. do a more natural movement like medium grip pullups (overhand). bent over barbel rows to the chest are great for the upperback when squeezed tight on each rep

i was close to dislocating my shoulder on incline db press. i subluxated it, which is one step before fully dislocating it. its not joke. i went up, failry light too, and it juist came right out and my whole arm collapsed. it was dead for a few seconds. it popped out and right back in. the rear delt was so sore for like 3 weeks and i didnt touch dbs for a long ass time. now, about 8 months later im touching DBs finally with no pain.

well i had a doctor do some tests on it, and i have a gapin hole in the wall of my shoulder. he explained to me that in the right position the socket just goes straight through the hole and vuala im in the most mind bending pain i have experienced. the worst thing is that i did the behind the neck pulldowns 3 reps. 12 in each rep. and the 4th rep is with light weight...just workin on proper form really. and of course on my 4th rep on the lightest weight it just gets ripped out.

You should also look into stregthening the muscles around the shoulder using internal external rotation type exercises and the muscles around the scapula as well. Probably a good idea to scrap the pull downs and presses for a while and do almost a rehab type routine at least for the shoulders.
