@ Strength Side: Thanks, I appreciated the tips, as well as the giggle from the catchy phrase "scaredy-cat" used during the Pec&T-Spine Opener routine. I told my friends a few times during my many yoga sessions that the yoga posture cat/cow should've been renamed.
my left shoulder blade area has been locked up causing insane discomfort and neck pain for nearly a year literally ruining my day to day life l, jist found this video, got out of bed and after the first exercise i felt 70% relief after five minutes. ive literally tried 100 diff stretches n exercises and nothing worked. i feel like after a week im going to feel brand new, this was gold thanks!
This is extremely helpful. I'm starting to do this with my dislocated shoulder and finding significant improvements. The only thing that would have helped extra, is to have a visual example of a beginner attempting these moves while you're coaching them.
I do not comment on videos, for people usually say what I wanted to say before me. However, this video is really good, like really, really good! No nonsense, no fluff, no sidetracking - on point, informative and very sound. Great job, congratulations! Cheers
I really appreciate you guys for helping us the way you do. You simplify everything and make it totally possible for every level of athlete, and teach us how to progress! Amazing thank you!
Thanks for these exercise ideas. I am strengthening my upper body slowly but surely. These exercises/ stretches will help strengthen me even further. I started hanging for 1 second and am now up to 20 sec. My goal 1min! It took 2 months, so I'm a total beginner. Thanks guys 🙏💚
So I’ve been suffering from should problems. When you make your arm in an L position my left arm can’t even get parallel with my ear. My shoulder feels so much better after doing these exercises (first time), thank you 🙏
The PROtraction was what sparked my interest. The opposite is drilled so much that it's easy to assume REtracted shoulders are the default for any physical activity.
Damn this is really amazing. I have problems with my right shoulder and tried a lot of exercises in the progress. After doing everything in this video once my shoulder feels like butter already. i love to see more improvement over the next days/weeks :)
Hey last night I watched your 18 minute video about your shoulder journey and it was mind blowing cause it was like I was listening to my own story but I’m still stuck in the lost part with not being able to get better. These exercises will change my life. Just wondering how often you recommend doing them when starting off. Every second day?
Apply consistency with moderation. Make the time each day to perform at least 3 of the easier stretches @ three - four reps. When your shoulder begins to strengthen, slowly challenge yourself to do the rest of what he's shown us. Then go out and conqeur the world!
Thanks Trevor really helpful material. I have to through a question to you though. How do we escalade to every one of these exercises? I dislocated my shoulder three months ago and every one of these exercises seems extremely dangerous to me. Do we have to work some basics first? Like simple shoulder rotations etc? Thanks in advance!
Hey josh i am planning to do travel with backpacking and i am very interested how you managed to workout and do all this daily movement routines while traveling
Thank you for helping everyone with these clear and quick videos. I’m so grateful for your getting to the point quickly and your demonstrations are easy to read - quite rare so lucky us!
If you feel pain in the shoulder as you start to get towards the top of the position should you stop just before you feel pain or try to push through the pain? I have a long standing right shoulder issue that I'm trying to fix, thanks.
Trevor, I’m doing the shoulder rehab exercises in your guys’ videos, am trying to incorporate these here, but shoulder and it’s assistant now, the bicep, aren’t allowing outer rotation for crab etc. Am I to go as far as I can with these on bad side, before the crying point, or lay off outer rotation until stronger and no pain (icky pain)? StrengthSide is so awesome btw, I SO ppreciate you guys!
I'm a mess with a severely frozen shoulder where it sometimes feels that the muscle is getting locked sometimes - extremely painful, as if its getting wedged under something...but it's been 10 years of this since a bad crossfit lift (225 hang clean). Going to try this a few times a week. Right shoulder currently sounds like a box of bolts when I try and press anything (probably bone on bone at this point). Even dead hanging hurts and it's def weaker than the right. I can't support any weight overhead one handed (i.e., a turkish get up is impossible even with 5lbs) because my arm only goes up about 60 degrees from parallel with the ground when standing. Hoping this leads to Nirvana.
my inflamed wrist on my right hand prevents me from doing those down on the hands positions. I had no issues with my wrists then got hit with an autoimmune disorder in mid 2020 and last year suddenly had a wrist issue along with most of my upper extremities. hands and shoulders mostly cleared up but not my right wrist. this is so frustrating and annoying. I can bend it forward but not back. limits my pushups also. have to do it on my fists or actually use a pushup bar I can grip like rings.
I have an impingement in my left shoulder that I want to get rid of, but the last two exercises are too harsh on my wrists. Any suggestions for how I can strengthen my wrists safely so I can get to these shoulder exercises?
Any ideas for being able to 3 point bridge with an elbow that won’t extend fully? I can do it on left side but not right. Should I just work on building strength in the weaker arm? Feels like my chain of strength is broken in that arm since it only extends about 160 degrees.
Excellent 👍 I’m learning a lot from your mobility routines. Working out at the gym makes everything stiff but your stretching helps me loosen up ⬆️ & feels great 👍 Love ❤️ all your videos ty 💪😝❤️🇨🇦
I have been doing traditional weightlifting, football, lax and when I go to the crab my shoulders are so tight I can hardly get into the position and can barely get off the ground. What is a good progression?
I dont understand the crab at all i put my shoulder down and squeeze back but my neck is tired out i move it back bc of the posture error, but still i lift up and its tired out idk how to put my sternum down with my shoulders pushed down and squeezed back. do u tighten your core or your round you lower back? Im bout to give up😑
I recognize my body in your guys bodies but like in a female form and way less fit...tall, shorter torso kind of. But yeah like your torso and rib cage and shoulders I feel like we could have a propensity to have the similar issues and that’s why I watch your videos because lots of stretches you do REALLY help me. Have you ever been diagnosed with hypermobility? I feel like my torso is short, my rib cage seems to be deflated towaards bottom ribs they don’t expand out alto side very well also don’t breath very deep have to focus on getting air into lungs. I’m a waist bender from lazy posture growing up due to chronic fatigue issues. I am hypermobile into over extension of my rib cage and very stiff the opposite way. Upper back pain. It’s sucks. Thanks for your vids.
For the crab exercise, it really hurt my elbows. I don’t think I’m doing it wrong, but my joints lack any normal ROM and things often hurt. Is there another way to work towards overhead mobility that doesn’t put as my pressure on the elbow joints? Thank you!
Lauren - hanging will strengthen the elbows, shoulders, arms, hands, grip a lot...start cumulating 5 min per day and begin slowly with feet support or in inclining positions if you cant hold only with hands without any support. recommending rings which are joint more friendly than bar.
Does anyone else get really sore elbows doing the crab? Is this an alignment issue or do I just need to do it regularly and stop when it hurts to build strength?
this dude eiiz in the defying phase now !! amm sure, doin this constantly, will help emm in combatting the secretive effects of the harmful 5G technology !! pls be successful and safe dude !!

One of the best videos about anything I have ever seen on UA-cam. Just what I needed for my stiff shoulders. Great job man!
Same!!
this is the first of so many videos I've seen that have actually mentioned protracting before going overhead. thank you!
Great shoulder stretches there. I also include a bridge against a wall shoulder stretch

Also look at their dead hang video

Thanks man. GOD bless you for the whole vision you are bringing forward with this channel and all the work you are doing.

Great instructions as always!
I love the follow along exercises. You have many great ones 💪
Always great to see a new video guys, would be really nice if you could make some more videos focused on ring training!
Strength Side is the truth!!!
So I’ve been suffering from should problems. When you make your arm in an L position my left arm can’t even get parallel with my ear.
My shoulder feels so much better after doing these exercises (first time), thank you 🙏

The PROtraction was what sparked my interest. The opposite is drilled so much that it's easy to assume REtracted shoulders are the default for any physical activity.

Same problem here man, how’d the journey of recovery help your issue? I’m barely getting started my self

got a way to go to get to that bridge. hopefully MSN will help
This is valuable for javeler ❤
That last one felt incredible 👍
Nice

I have been struggling with shoulder mobility for years, 1:30 has literally solved my problem

Today, you are the best person - after my wife - in my life. Thanx!

Fxcking alsome! I suggest you do a full section coz ppl tend to follow what you do.

How do I access the road map to strong shoulders that Josh had. I had a copy of it but it’s on my old i-pad that is really outdated.
Could you achieve the same goal of that first exercise with a dead hang?

Can’t wait to do the jack o pose
Ah another person of culture
basically, doin all the opposite moves to what normally people used to
Is this all i need to strengthen my shoulders ?
bro, I have such a bad capability to protract my shoulder blades. are there any exercises you recommend for a really bad shoulder protractor like me?
Excellent 👍 I’m learning a lot from your mobility routines. Working out at the gym makes everything stiff but your stretching helps me loosen up ⬆️ & feels great 👍
Love ❤️ all your videos ty 💪😝❤️🇨🇦
I have been doing traditional weightlifting, football, lax and when I go to the crab my shoulders are so tight I can hardly get into the position and can barely get off the ground. What is a good progression?
Cant do the second one in my room, alternatives?
This felt really good. I can tell I have some serious deficiencies.
I dont understand the crab at all i put my shoulder down and squeeze back but my neck is tired out i move it back bc of the posture error, but still i lift up and its tired out idk how to put my sternum down with my shoulders pushed down and squeezed back. do u tighten your core or your round you lower back?

What does hypermobility mean? Sounds like you need to work on building strength
For the crab exercise, it really hurt my elbows. I don’t think I’m doing it wrong, but my joints lack any normal ROM and things often hurt. Is there another way to work towards overhead mobility that doesn’t put as my pressure on the elbow joints? Thank you!
Lauren - hanging will strengthen the elbows, shoulders, arms, hands, grip a lot...start cumulating 5 min per day and begin slowly with feet support or in inclining positions if you cant hold only with hands without any support. recommending rings which are joint more friendly than bar.
Trevor got that Bruce Lee body! Lowkey jealous ngl! Lmao but proud of you man
haha he really do
Does anyone else get really sore elbows doing the crab? Is this an alignment issue or do I just need to do it regularly and stop when it hurts to build strength?
