Thank you. Great useful content that I can incorporate immediately. I had supraspinatus surgery about 5 yr ago and always looking for shoulder strengthening drills + handstand applications.
So glad to hear this TB, we have worked with a number of athletes who have gone through that same surgery, its not fun. Keep those shoulders healthy and strong my friend!
Great content as usual Dave! Big fan of PMF ;) I have always loved incorporating gymnastics exercises/movements/positions into my training. Recently I've been working on planche and other straight arm stuff, and one of my biceps hurts a lot (I think it's been aggravated from snatching heavy with less IR capacity than I need at that shoulder). I was wondering if you have advice on the approach I should have other than focusing on manageable weights/volume. Thanks for everything you do!
Thanks for the note. Love that you've been enjoying the content! This type of thing would be best addressed by someone in the medical field who you feel comfortable working with. They will best be able to give recommendations/protocols as to what might be going on with the biceps. I would recommend trying to find someone who knows sport and gymnastics specific movement well if possible so they are familiar with the skills you are working on. Straight arm work will stress the connective tissue in new ways so it's always important to incorporate a long term plan with a lot of the exercises. I hope that helps!
This is excellent, thank you, I learned a few things 🤙 I find that at times life can impose time constraints on my exercise. Some days the best I can muster is maintaining already accumulated strength; workouts are short & may consist of only single sets of certain exercises. Even during a short session, however, these pre-hab/corrective exercises like the Floor Angels and various hangs (decompression bonus) are indespendible. Consistent training is a long haul, and aging is not for the faint of heart. I'll put these to good use.
So glad to hear that this was helpful for you CW...and you are right, aging and continuing a fitness practice can sometimes be quite the balancing act...but you know you are better off for it! Keep going strong my friend!!
Thanks Dave for another video of quality content! I am trying to work on inlocate/ dislocate shoulder movement and I found myself not flexible at all in that sense. Can you suggest some exercises for me to increase the mobility / flexibility? Thanks :)
Hi! Thanks for the question and feedback. The mobility needed for each is slightly different so really depends on where the limiting factors are. Dislocates are normally limited by pec/biceps/ant delt mobility. Inlocates are more t-spine, rear delt, under arm soft tissue, etc. There are tons of exercises to help these areas. I would recommend checking out some of our videos here on youtube. "Reach Backs" are a good starting point working towards bridge work. Also, I'm a big fan of "Undergrip PVC Stretch w/ Elbows on Box". This can help tackle both underarm soft tissue and upper back depending on how it's done. I would also prep your shoulders by doing some banded passthrough actions. Wrap the band around a pull up bar and work through the passthrough action to prep your shoulders. You can adjust the tension as needed as your range increases. Hope that helps as a starting point!
I was finally able to achieve the ring muscle up a month ago. But at the cost of my shoulders. They only hurt when I am in a false grip dead hang position. So I have been doing resistance band exercises and I will add these exercises too. I will do them lightly and then increase the intensity as my shoulders recover. Do you think I am on the right track?
Sorry to hear about your shoulders Nour. But glad to hear that you are putting some more attention onto the rehab/prehab of them. Give these a try for sure, but also definitely reach out to your doctor to make sure you dont have any seriously damaged tissue that might require medical attention. Good luck!
Best vid about shoulder prehab on RUclips. You’re a wizard David, I appreciate your well spoken technical delivery.
Thank you so much!!🙌🏼
Forgot to thank you for the insanely high quality video. Thank you.
Great Video DAVE!!

@@ddurante11 thanks! I will definitely check out the videos and incoperate the exercises into my training!
Thanks Cap!! 🙏🏼
