Decrease Shoulder Injuries In Jiu-Jitsu and Improve Posture With This Exercise

This simple technique holding a belt and laying over a foam roller will open up the shoulders and chest and will improve range of motion in the shoulders as well as the thoracic spine.

All of this improved mobility is great but what benefit does it have?

The more motion that you have and the better activated and warmed up that the muscles are, the less risk of shoulder, back, or even neck injury.

Use this as part of your warm up to get prepped for training!

5-10 repetitions at 2-3 total sets (move the foam roller to a different part of the mid-back for each set).
