For those of you that have been asking about how to improve shoulder ROM for your lifts, the quick answer is to go check out my boy Kelly Starrett (@mobilitywod) on MobilityWOD.com. There’s enough info there to solve your positional needs 10x over.

Here’s one that’s been a recent favorite of mine these last few months, introduced to me by Dr. Sihota (@roopsihota), to help lengthen, open and activate the upper back and shoulders. Once you create some space, more mobility can be found and maintained through movement (or weightlifting in this reference).

.

Here’s the simple 3 step process. Everything is done for 30s x2-3 sets:

.

1. Passive Hang

.

2. Kipping Swing

.

3. Thoracic Arch Hold (3s pause)
