If youโ€™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.

Itโ€™s always awesome to work with elite athletes like @brandonreed3x

The Resisted Wall Angel Exercise is one of my favorites as it combines both a mobility and strength component. This exercise is helpful with activating the muscles around the shoulder blades which are muscle groups that are very important in high quality shoulder function and health..and the muscles are activated in a various range of motion which is very useful.

These muscles (Middle Trapezius, Rhomboids, and Lower Trapezius) are vital in maintaining stability to the shoulder blades as well as the shoulder which assists in healthy rotator cuff muscles.

This exercise is important and helpful for Jiu-Jitsu athletes or those that sit excessively as it can help with activating muscles to open the chest while activating important muscles that assist with posture and maintaining good shoulder position in the joint.

Also a useful technique prior to weight-lifting.

Start with a light band and perform 2-3 sets of 5 repetitions.

This is a quick sequence that I incorporate into my BJJ warm up.

Its a great way to wake up the shoulders and perform a “Jiu-Jitsu-Specific” technique as well.

Basing on the hand will activate the muscles in the shoulder and shoulder blade area while performing the sit-through technique.

Adding a bit of rotation to the body will provide a bit of a pec and chest stretch.

When performing strengthening and shoulder health exercises, I wanted to think about what equipment would be most available at Jiu-Jitsu gyms or what equipment can fit in your equipment bag.

Most BJJ practitioners will have their belt and can easily get access to a resistance band, so I felt this would be an ideal variation of this exercise.

This technique is one of my absolute favorites for shoulder health and posture.
You are strengthening the shoulder blade muscles, rotator cuff muscles, while also working on overhead shoulder mobility.

Not only is this a challenging and valuable exercise for shoulder health and injury prevention, it is also an essential training tool for anyone that needs to build proper technique and muscle strength/activation with overhead lifting and tasks. Adjust the resistance as appropriate to ensure proper technique.

1. Start with bracing the core/abdominals.
2. Bring the elbows up to shoulder height.
3. Squeeze the shoulder blades together and perform a high elbow rowing motion.
4. Externally rotate the shoulders (bringing hands up).
5. Maintain this plane of motion and press straight up to the ceiling without allowing hands to migrate forward (Do not shrug the shoulders).
6. Hold overhead position for 1-2 seconds.
7. Return to start position.
8. Perform 10-12 repetitions, 1-2 sets initially and can increase sets/reps as appropriate.
