Improve Shoulder Stability and Strength With Serratus Slides #shorts

Gary Berger — Thu, 18 May 2023 14:54:30 +0000

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

Shoulder Mobility and Recovery In One Technique (Prone Swimmers)

Gary Berger — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 20:00:08 +0000

The Prone Swimmer exercise is great for mobility, strength, and recovery for general shoulder health.

The exercise can be modified to include longer hold times and resistance with light weights as well.

Start off with 2 sets of 5 reps and focus on going extra slow. The slower the movement, the more challenging and beneficial.

Resisted Wall Angel

Gary Berger — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 16:04:38 +0000

The Wall Angel is a great exercise for general motion and correction of impaired posture/tightness that may come from training Jiu-Jitsu or excessive sitting.

Adding a resistance component is a great way to combine strength, mobility, and postural correction all into one technique.

This video includes three variations with the traditional Wall Angel, Resisted Wall Angel, and the modification to the Floor Angel with Resistance.

These are great to implement as a warm up, rehab, or as a general maintenance exercise. Sets and Reps: 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.

*** Check out my new warm-up series that was created specifically for grapplers!

The warm-up includes dynamic movements, stretches, range of motion exercises, muscle activation exercises, and a bunch more content that I have used myself and with my training partners to allow for an effective and useful warm-up to keep you healthy and training.

One Of The Best Exercises For Shoulder Health And Injury-Prevention For BJJ

Gary Berger — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 16:30:02 +0000

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.
