What is the acromioplasty procedure for the shoulder? What exercises are biomechanically contraindicated on science?

Well, Chris, I had that surgery on both shoulders, so I’d say that experience counts for something. Strictly speaking from that point: the shoulder press does not bother me at all. It is truly only the upright row; the movement alone, even unloaded, is an absolute impossibility for me.

Spot on Karin.

The upright is contraindicated because biomechanically and anatomically it compromises
the AC joint. When at the top of the exercise, the humerus is elevated and literally against the AC
while in an internal rotation position.

The shoulder press is also contraindicated because of the compresses the AC, suprapinatus and loads the subacromial joint.

remember the science, not just on experiences! Understand why..

It is a surgery during which the space between the acromion process and the head of the humerus is enlarged through ‘shaving’ of the underside of the acromion process.

Contraindicated exercises (based on own experience): upright row!
