1-arm 'passive' & 'active' hang
Shoulder-mobility (range-development)
•
2m 6s
THE WHAT & HOW:
The two ends of the overhead-pulling kinetic chain are the hands (connecting the arms to the anchor-point), and the scapulae (connecting the arms to the body). Developing the 'Passive' and 'Active' hang unilaterally (i.e. 1-arm), follows the same progression perspective as bilateral (2-arms), although the intensity is, of course, significantly increased.
As grip becomes more of a limiting factor here, it is recommended to use CHALK on the hands to facilitate the most optimal force-production & transfer from the scapular-pull.

THE WHAT:
Hanging is a movement habit that requires culturing. The benefits of regular hanging are many, but primarily related to decompression of the shoulder & improving the quality of its connective tissues and identifying & releasing excessive resting muscle tone around the lumbar spine.For...

Prone crossed-arm stretch
THE WHAT:
A simple & accessible form for loaded stretching of the posterior shoulder & scapular musculature. It is particularly valuable to practice in combination with efforts to develop 'neural-drive' (i.e. ability to intrinsically move) in the scapular musculature with the likes of scapular ro... -
Shoulder-flexion & extension stretches
THE WHAT & HOW:
Two simple bodyweight stretching contexts for both diagnosing & spending time in the end-ranges of shoulder extension & flexion. Their low intensity means that they can be practiced as frequently as desired (up to multiple times, daily), however this also means that, rather than d...
