Save this 5 minute shoulder saving warm up for your next upper body session.
As some of you may know I separated my AC joint a number of months ago. Candidly though, my shoulders were in rough shape even before that injury.
Knowing this I would go into the gym do some PVC pass throughs, hang from a pull up bar, and then do some lateral raises with light weight for a warm up.
Fast foward weeks/months later and the same discomfort and occasional pain was still there. Pretty frustrating to say the least. Maybe you’ve also felt this.
There is hope though.
Shoulders (like the hips) are a ball and socket joint which mainly move through rotation. If you have any shoulder “stuff” going on then adding some focused rotational movements will be massively beneficial.
The video below is:
-Shoulder CARs x 3 Reps/side
-Swimmer’s x 3 times through
-Banded External & Internal Rotation’s x 5 Reps each/arm
To your success,
– Josh
