Hey Leopardistas,

Today’s misson is to apply our load ordering concept to the dip or other upper body pressing exercises. We need to get better at seeing an athlete move, and understanding why they are moving the way the are. Missing internal shoulder rotation and extension? What does that look like during dipping, or pressing?

Mission: 2 min per mob/per side minimum–mob till you make a change

Test/retest, pushup, dip, floor press

Part 1

Part 2

I’ve been doing a grip of ant delt heavy stuff (planche progression holds, HSPU’s, back bridges etc.) and have found that these 2 stretches are BRUTAL! I’m hoping it will get better soon.

When I was watching the 800M track finals I was reminded of this video. When sprinting I think a lack of internal rotation and extension could cause one to break their midline when their arm swings back causing innefficient side to side/twisting motion of the torso. Usually this action is caused by a weak core but this video made me think how the shoulder ties in too. Any thoughts?

Wow the second video is exactly what i’ve done to my right shoulder. It always translates forward under load unless I’m very careful, and I’ve really messed myself up as a result. Slowly correcting it now. I’m going to try this out. Thanks!

While I’m here – Can you advise on where where else to look for more stretches/exercises for this problem?

Thanks (MWOD is a great resource – loved your google health video too.)
