I find myself coming back to this POD from back in 2011. https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/7118671/ Such an insane road gap, I can only imagine what this man was going through in his life to live so fully and ultimately succumb to his depression.

@levie125: I bet you're fun at parties.

@stevek22: I should clarify my comment. That specific tricep workout isn't great for your shoulder, not necessarily because internal rotation is bad, but because there are way better tricep workouts that don't have the potential to hurt your shoulders (again everybody's body is different). For me tricep dips like that are painful no matter what kind of strengthening I do for internal rotation movements, so I avoid them. But I've noticed a lot of youtube fitness people make internal rotation sound like the boogeyman for shoulder problems and should be avoided. I do not believe that internal rotation is bad if that movement is strengthened properly, we can't avoid internal rotation for the rest of our lives. Again, I'm not a PT/Doc, it sounds like you are, so if anything I said doesn't make sense in relation to actual physiological functions/terms then please correct me as I'd love to learn more.

Would also recommend looking into the McGill "Big 3" for lower back exercises that help strengthen as well as reduce back pain.

I don't think it's necessarily bad if you strengthen the shoulder for that type of movement, but I think in terms of working out the triceps there are better workouts that don't have the potential to put that type of stress on your shoulders.

@anaughtymouse: Can't argue with that.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that way of doing those tricep dips isn't great for the shoulders as it causes internal rotation. I'm no PT/Doctor, but I do have a BMX background.
