If you’re having some weakness in the shoulders or even difficulty with overhead movement/control, the Serratus Wall Slide is a great option to build control in the shoulder blades and in the shoulders as well.

Using a band helps to activate the muscles in the shoulders to increase the difficulty a little.

To perform the exercise, place a light resistance band around the wrists.

Push the forearms into to wall and protract (create a little distance between the shoulder blades).

Try to keep the forearms vertical and slide the forearms up the wall allowing the shoulder blades to move outward and upward. Brace your abdominals to avoid arching the back.

Perform 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps.

It’s always awesome to work with elite athletes like @brandonreed3x

Focusing on a solid warm-up can pay huge dividends to improving your mobility and performance in grappling. Using a wall as a tool to assist with mobility is a great way work on this as well.

Here is a quick sequence that I do as part of my warm-up before BJJ class to get my body ready to train.

We have had a lot of people asking what’s happing with the channel.
Long Story short. Life. It’s not all on Tom thats for sure, I haven’t been able to film as much as we would of liked. The boring stuff aside, we have a plan to get back to regular uploads as Jiu jitsu and filming is something we both live for. Stay tuned, keep watching, keep rolling!
