In our final chapter on shoulder mobility I will discuss the need for full overhead rotational movement.
I, previously, provided rotational exercises which emphasize warming up, cooling down, and joint mobility.
The next step is to develop overhead rotational strength.
In the video below watch how easy it is to begin an exercise program incorporating these methods.
The first exercise is a two-handed 10-2. Begin on your right side and finish on your left side. After a set is completed begin on your left side and finish on your right. When both sides have been worked, this constitutes 1 set.
Next, perform full two-handed 360’s. Again, you will rotate counter clockwise and then clockwise. This equal 1 set.
Begin with very light weights with very high repetitions.
Eventually, work up to 50 repetitions, non stop, in each direction for 1 set.
When you have achieved this level, once per week will suffice for shoulder health.
These exercises will stretch, flex and develop joint mobility in the shoulders.
