This routine is designed to get your shoulder functioning optimally.
Your shoulders are one of the most utilised joints in the body, so it pays to take care of them.
If you are regularly working on improving your shoulder flexibility (good on you), then you should also be working on strengthening up the surrounding muscles and support. You can have all the flexibility in the world, but if it’s not strong you can still get injured.
– BEFORE YOU START-
Now as always, if you have shoulder issues you need to speak with your physio. The routine I will show you has helped me and all the other coaches here at CrossFit Border along with many of our members.
– THE ROUTINE-
“Bulletproof Shoulders”
Side plank reverse fly – 20 each side
Modified push up hold – 15 sec hold 3-4 per side
Scap push ups – 15 reps
T-flyes – 5 reps then 5 second overload 4-5x
W-flyes – 5 reps then 5 second overload 4-5x
Cuff isolation – 15 reps per side
I’ve attached the video below so you can see it being done!
This routine is designed to get your shoulder functioning optimally, so it’s best to have your physio or coach have a look at your form. The key is to try and relax your traps and focus on retracting your shoulder blades (pull them together).
I can’t take credit for this routine however I can tell you how awesome it is (pretty awesome).
– GET IT DONE! –
Do this twice a week on days where your shoulders aren’t fatigued and you will start to feel stronger, have better posture and those niggles will start to ease.
