One of the main questions I get is if I get a weight training injury… who should I see… should I see a medical doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist, massage therapist… and it depends on two things… what is the injury and what is the skill set of the health practitioner… I go through who you should see and how to find a good one.

[Ken Kinakin @KenKinakin]

The dumbbell shoulder press technique test is to stand in front of the mirror and look at your hand.. you should see only your thumb and index finger. If you can see the back of your hand, then you have arm and shoulder internal rotation and will be difficult for you to press without creating an impingement and pain. You are also not going in the scapular plane.. the normal plane and range of motion which is usually the elbow and hand slightly in front of the shoulder. The focus should be to decrease the internal rotation through stretches and treatment and rehab exercise. In the mean time keep the elbow and hand in front of the shoulder when pressing. Comment below your thoughts.

The best treatment for a weight training injury is to prevent it. This is the second part of a two part video series discusses the preacher bench exercise for the biceps and the two most common injuries I see which is bicep tendonitis/rupture, which was previously discussed and cervical disc herniation which I discuss in this video. The injury prevention technique is the same for both injuries... the arm placement should be at the top of the pad to prevent neck flexion and increasing the risk of cervical disc herniation. You can prevent this from happening by a single technique shift

New SWIS Vision and Evolution

On Thursday, April 2, after a heartfelt conversation with Alex, Michael, and myself, we made the difficult correct decision to cancel the May 2 SWIS Montreal event due to low registration and the uncertainty surrounding current world and economic conditions.

After deep reflection, I’ve made the decision to transition the SWIS Montreal Seminar scheduled for May 2, 2026 from an in-person event into a new and more impactful direction.

Over the past few years, education has changed dramatically.

With the rise of social media education, online learning, and AI-driven education, people are no longer simply looking for more information.

They are searching for wisdom, guidance, community, and real-world application.

This is the evolution of learning by utilizing the power of online and AI education with in person experiential coaching, wisdom and community.

Beginning May 1, 2026, I am officially opening the SWIS Membership Mentorship Community.

This new online community will be built to bring together strength athletes, fitness professionals, and health practitioners who want to master the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of weight-training injuries.

My focus now is to create a powerful digital community centered on:
Optimal exercise technique and training strategies
• advanced clinical wisdom
• practical rehab solutions
• mentorship and case-based learning
• custom SWIS chatgpt with 25 years of SWIS videos and information uploaded
• community connection and collaboration

From this foundation, we will come together later this year or next year for a small, experiential workshop based, high-impact in-person SWIS event.

The future of education is not just large seminars.

It is community, wisdom, mentorship, and meaningful transformation both online and in-person.

For those who still want hands-on learning, I will continue offering small in-person immersive experiences, including the SWIS Exercise Muscle Testing Class on May 9 at the Meadowvale Mississauga Hilton, limited to only 30 participants for a more personal and powerful learning environment. https://t.co/QDACCsbycI

This is the beginning of the next evolution of SWIS Weight Training Sports Medicine.

I look forward for us to work together and make an impact in your business and the fitness and health professions.
