ShoulderHorn Review: You NEED This Training Tool for Your Home Gym
I have used a ShoulderHorn for a while now. In my opinion, it is one of the best Garage Gym training tools to have in any home gym, especially if you do a lot of bench pressing.
Let’s get into it.
What is a ShoulderHorn?
The ShoulderHorn is a rotator cuff training device developed by a chiropractor named Joseph Horrigan and they are an extremely useful training tool. They were made popular years ago by ads in Iron Man Magazine and a lot of athletes including me have used them to alleviate shoulder pain stemming from imbalances. The ShoulderHorn is a lightweight, padded tool shaped to fit over your shoulders and train movements involving the rotator cuff.
I first discovered the ShoulderHorn when I was working in a public gym and I ordered it hoping to help clients with rotator cuff issues. Everyone had great results with it, so when I started my home gym, I made sure I had one to help me avoid injuries during my home workouts.
What Are the Benefits of Using a ShoulderHornin Your Home Gym?
The ShoulderHorn supports and stabilizes your elbows while doing exercises like flies or face pulls. It will keep your elbows stable and prevent them from moving up and down, therefore preventing rotator cuff injury.
The ShoulderHorn is much easier to use than other hacks like resting your elbow against a bench. The horn also allows you to do both arms at once instead of alternating arms. This helps you get your workout in quick.
How Much Does a ShoulderHorn Cost?
The ShoulderHorn costs $80 on Amazon.
Now, some of you might think that’s a bit expensive for a piece of metal and some padding.
My response to that is the $85 is well worth it. It is a bargain compared to the cost of rotator cuff surgery!
Where to Buy a ShoulderHorn?
The ShoulderHorn can be hard to find but it is available on Amazon. If you are looking to purchase it locally, the ShoulderHorn is available from Body-Solid’s local authorized dealers.
One Size DOESN’T Fit All
It is available in three sizes depending on your height and weight, including small, medium/large, and XL/XXL.
Make sure your elbows fit snuggly in the groove of the tool. If you happen to purchase the wrong size, your elbows will be in the wrong place and at the wrong angle and the device won’t work as well, plus it’ll be uncomfortable to use so make sure you have the right size.
How Do You Use a ShoulderHorn?
The ShoulderHorn is one solid piece, so there is absolutely no assembly required. Once you get it, you can start using it right away. This device can look confusing at first, but it is actually fairly simple to use. As you can see from my video review below, it’s pretty user friendly. The middle part of the horn should go around the back of your neck and the ends of the horns go around and under your arms, with the ends of the horns pointing behind you.
