Better Benching and Pressing

Hey Mwodies,

Today’s mission is a variation on our the shoulder capsular mob we use as World Champ Donnie Thompson says, “to set the shoulder” before big pressing.  Too often an athlete’s shoulder ends up a little forward in the socket which can lead to poor shoulder to scapular mechanics including impingement, instability, and weakness.

And, as a bonus, when an athlete suffers a shoulder tweak, this is a great way to help the athlete reset and reclaim good mechanics.  Keep this in the file of ‘shoulder tweak repair’.

Mission:  Try the Roop variation prior to your next overhead or press fest.  2-3 minutes a side should do it.
