I’d love to see content on how to bend more evenly at the spine in things like bridges because my lower back loves to do all of it and my upper back is a lazy slob 😫
Thanks so much John! So happy to hear you liked it, especially coming from you who has so much great background. What topics would you like me to cover next? We’re planning the next month of filming and want to help people like yourself the most! 🙏
I would really like to see a program for improving the shoulder mobility as I have kyphosis and want to prevent this getting worse. Also a program for hamstring flexibility. This was amazing
Thanks for watching and the comment Mini! We have a previous shoulder flexibility video many people have found helpful here - ua-cam.com/video/vYZztG77WzQ/v-deo.html We also have a hamstring/pike flexibility video that also many be useful! ua-cam.com/video/My9IVJGYzXM/v-deo.html Hope those are helpful!
So happy to hear that, and I’m glad that you find it valuable! Lots more coming to the channel in the next month, so I hope you find them all useful. And you’re in for the SHIFT24Club! 🙌
Hi, I have median and ulnar nerve impingement, that worsens upon use, probably stemming from an old shoulder injury. I have some flexibility in the legs and lower back, but I don't know how to work shoulders, and upper back. If you have some material on this can you please point me in that direction? Thank you very much.
Thanks so much! Really happy to hear that you found it helpful. Are there other topics that you would like to see covered in the future? Want to help the audience the most, thanks!
This is a fabulous video, and thank you for putting it out. You always have high quality, research-supported content and it's been tremendously helpful. I'd love to see something similar for anterior pelvic tilt
@@marcusryden6868 It’s hard to offer advice without watching someone move in doing a full assessment, but sometimes I can be called snapping hip syndrome. Essentially, the hip flexor tendon slides back-and-forth over the outside of one of the hip bones, and it can sometimes become painful. Again, how to help specifically need to be determined by a full movement assessment in a specific program, but it can definitely help! Best of luck 🙏
Very well explained video! Would be great if you can do a similar one in relation to hamstring/pike flexibility, specially for a person like me that has little issue with gaining overhead flexibility quickly but is completely stuck with very tight hamstrings. Cheers!
@@shiftmovement I would like to see/hear some flexibility circuits (also focused on older > 18 athletes). Another point I am very intresting in, is the early specilization seen in gymnastics. In the literature I have read mainly that late specilization with a broad array of different activities in the younger years are benefitial for an athletes career, and also talent transfer is a topic what becomes more and more popular. Do you think people can start gymnastics on a later age or transfer from another sport or is gymnastics too technical demanding and early specilization is really needed. Also how accurate is the talent identification system in gymnastics. In the Netherlands you can first be selected for a regional team as young as the age of 6 (however, in literature it is seen that pre-pubertal selection is very hard). So should we want to select these kids at such a young age?
Thank you for your video, it´s really helpfull and interest. I want ask when ,this drills for better mobility, is the best make it(on beginning gymnastics training part warm up or the end training - in stretching/relaxing part) Thanks! I would like to ask a topic: planning training in the short termn, in the long term before competitions and some important information about this process. This topic I´am interest in future. I appreciate your work and thank you for it :)
I’ll really great thoughts thanks for watching! If I am understanding your question correctly, I think you are asking when is the best place to do some different flexibility types. I like using the warm-up as just a way to prep the available range of motion, versus doing a separate flexibility circuit to actually increase range of motion, and a cool down stretch to help the body shift into recovery mode after a hard workout. Three different approaches to different stretching. And we definitely have some content coming out around planning, we can do some more though! But hope that helps!
Hi thanks a ton for such a comprehensive and grounded look at the shoulder girdle. The Butcher block exercise causes a pinching sensation In the top of the shoulder for me (which you said not to push), and I don't feel a stretch through the lat, teres, or under the shoulder in general(I have to dish and contact my abs to the point of shaking to feel even the slightest stretch). I can get a much better stretch from holding a dish at 45° to the wall or low bar, and sinking my shoulders down to the floor. What gives? Any idea as to why the pain in top of shoulder or the difference between the exercises? PS I can feel a nice stretch in the triceps in the butchers block when I curl the stick to the back of my neck.
Hi Ari! Thanks for the kind words and for watching the video, I really appreciate it and I’m glad you found a valuable. To your question, it could be that mobility is not one of your main things to focus on in the lat or teres major, And that control, strength, or active flexibility might be more your priority. In this case, I would do some light soft tissue work with a foam roller or lacrosse ball to these areas, but not focus too much on really cranking the overhead motion. If you can find a position where you feel stretch and not soreness on the top of the shoulder, that’s great, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It could also be that these rotator cuff tendons are just a little bit overworked and sensitive, and they might be more cranky when you do the stretch. That’s where a good physio assessment is going to be key, to figure out if you need some more specific rotator cuff strengthening or have some other bio mechanical issues. Always hard to offer invite online without seeing someone in person, but getting an assessment in a specific plan may help. Best of luck! - Dave
This one is tough to give advice for online! There could be a lot of possible reasons. My best suggestion would be to get screened by a medical provider or qualified strength coach to figure out exactly what is going on. Then you can get a specific program to work on it. Best of luck!
Exactly what I need! I've been struggling with a couple of my gymnasts with shoulder mobility and stability in their handstand lines. I'll get on this right away. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much you have changed my coaching style and knowledge, and even just my life in general. I appreciate you! #SHIFT24CLUB
Thanks so much for the kind words Annabelle! I’m so happy to hear that you have found everything helpful, Are there any topics or videos you would like to see you in the future? Trying to help our audience the best!
So you recommend to do daily stretching and the scapula strengthening stuff only two times/ week right? Also does serratus anterior plays any role on restricted overhead shoulder mobility?
yep! Daily soft tissue and mobility work is great, alongside the 2-3x/week direct scapular and shoulder strengthening. And serratus can be a factor if upward rotation and more protracted/forward motions are the goal, say like with press handstands. I wouldn't say serratus is connected to limited passive range of motion, but certainly can be involved if active range is not showing up as a result of strength/control deficits. Hope that helps!

Great idea! We can definitely try to share some ideas about that in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Absolutely great content.
Really appreciate that! 🙏
This is the best over head video I have watched so far. I cant wait for more.
Wow I’m super flattered by that! Thanks so much for the positive feedback and for taking the time to watch. Definitely have more coming soon! 🙏
@@shiftmovement it was clear, well laid out with practice applications. That is hard to find.
Good one 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent introduction for shoulder mobility for athletic training.

This was amazing, would love to see one of these for pike/core compression :)
Thank you and will put it on the list!
ooh this is exactly what I need! very much looking forward to the rest of the series - always love the SHIFT content! #SHIFT24Club

Really nice explanation! What can you do if you have been doing that for some time and have impingement? thanks in advance
Only a few minutes in but the editing is on point! 👌 👏
Thanks so much! That would be our amazing digital media intern Sarah, shes the best 🙂🙏
High-quality content as always. I've been following your guidelines and my overhead flexibility got a lot better over the past few weeks.
Thanks so much! Really happy to hear that you found it helpful. Are there other topics that you would like to see covered in the future? Want to help the audience the most, thanks!
I really needed this 😄
Great to hear Sebastian! Thanks so much for watching 🙏
This is a fabulous video, and thank you for putting it out. You always have high quality, research-supported content and it's been tremendously helpful. I'd love to see something similar for anterior pelvic tilt
Thanks so much Amanda! We can definitely get a video up on that 👌
Hey Amanda! Check out our latest video on Anterior Pelvic Tilt!
@@shiftmovement Thank you!
Thanks I have a lot of people I'd like to share this with. Most of them do cross-fit.
Awesome great to hear and definitely share it! I work a ton with CrossFit athletes so this info is directly relevant for them as well 👌
Amazing! Love this information! #SHIFT24Club
Thanks so much Stephen, really appreciate it!
Would love to see something on correcting overpronation!
PS. Whenever I do hanging leg lifts, my hips pop (almost like bone to bone) and it feels a little uncomfortable. Any idea why this might be?
Great idea we can definitely toss that on the list! 🙌

i have limited internal .externel rotation and extension and flexion with rounded shoulder and stif t spine extension what should i do
