Build Shoulder Strength and Mobility With This Sequence

Gary Berger — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 16:30:02 +0000

Weakness and lack of mobility is something that most (if not all) of us deal with at some point.
If you are someone that sits a lot for work or practices Jiu-Jitsu, you will have shoulder mobility limitations and strength deficits.

By maintaining mobility and strength you will ensure proper shoulder function and decrease the likelihood of injuries in whatever activity you choose.

In this sequence, we focus on building shoulder health, stability, and mobility through three exercises and then combine these isolated movements into a dynamic movement that yields incredible benefits.

When performing this sequence, work in a comfortable range, avoid any pinching or pain.

Shoulder Mobility and Stability With Sit-Through

Gary Berger — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 18:07:59 +0000

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.
