Sometimes your shoulder needs better control across the entire rotator cuff. This sequence works through several pieces of that system: → Infraspinatus + teres minor mobility → Subscapularis stretching + strengthening → Supraspinatus strengthening → Different hand positions to change the shoulder’s mechanics That matters because the rotator cuff...

Yeah the cuff isn’t just a stretch project. If those smaller muscles are late (not firing when they're supposed to), then the big ones grab the job and the shoulder starts complaining. Getting them to produce force first is important - then can check to see if it still needs more mobility work.

The rotator cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These originate on your scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on different parts of your humerus, or upper arm. As a whole, they provide dynamic stability to the shoulder joint, while individually, they assist with various shoulder movements, including abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Since these muscles contribute to multiple shoulder movements along with other muscles, you really cannot isolate the rotator cuff. Even with external rotation, which is performed mostly by the infraspinatus and teres minor, you will receive some assistance from the posterior deltoid. Therefore, in order to maximize rotator cuff strength, our recommendation would be to focus on a comprehensive program. This will better prepare you for a wide variety of tasks and activities involving the shoulder. To demonstrate what we mean, let’s consider the biceps. If you perform pull ups and rows, these exercises will secondarily work the biceps. However, if your goal was to maximize strength and hypertrophy of the biceps, you would also incorporate isolation exercises, like a biceps curl. The rotator cuff is no different. Compound pushing and pulling exercises at various angles will challenge the rotator cuff, but if you want to train your shoulders to their full potential, a comprehensive program that also includes isolation exercises in different directions will likely be the most optimal. These are just SOME external rotation strengthening options. Learn more:

Your shoulders don’t just need to be “strong.” They need to know how to move, stabilize, and control the shoulder blade under load. 🧠 What caught my attention: the exercises aren’t simply about building bigger back muscles. They challenge the muscles around the scapula, upper back, rear shoulder, and rotator cuff to work together. That matters for swimmers, volleyball players, lifters—and anyone spending hours at a desk. 🏊‍♂️🏐🏋️‍♂️ It helps to ✅ Improve shoulder mobility and stability ✅ Strengthen the upper and mid-back muscles ✅ Support better posture and spinal control ✅ Reduce muscular overload and injury risk ⏱ How to perform: • 20-30 seconds per exercise • 2-3 sets • 2-3 times per week The goal is having enough strength and control to move well through different positions. Train the back. Train the shoulder. But most importantly: train the connection between them.

Your posture isn’t something you “fix” by forcing yourself upright. What matters is whether you can control different positions and move through them comfortably. This routine is interesting because it combines spinal movement with shoulder mobility and rotation. The blocks change the leverage and give you something stable to work around. The goal isn’t to hold one perfect posture. It’s to give your body more options.

If your shoulders are rounding forward and your head is sitting too far in front of your body, stretching your back alone probably isn’t going to fix the problem. Sometimes the issue is that the muscles around the shoulder blades aren’t doing their job properly. When they’re weak, underactive, or poorly coordinated, it becomes harder to control the position of the scapula—and that can affect how your shoulders and neck sit and move. So instead of only stretching, it makes sense to also work on activation, strength, and control. The goal is to improve things like: • Better control of the shoulder blades • More stability around the shoulders • Less unnecessary compensation from the neck and shoulders • Better control of movement in different positions And one important point: “strengthening your back” isn’t the same thing as improving scapular control. Even small details can change the exercise. The hand position, band direction, and kneeling setup here are chosen to encourage more involvement from the muscles that help control the scapula and support thoracic extension. So the goal isn't just to make your back muscles work harder. It's to teach your shoulders and upper back to move and stabilize better.

“Tight hips” don’t always need more passive stretching. The main idea in this video is training the hips through different positions while keeping them under active control. You’re seeing deep hip flexion, rotation, lateral movement and loaded positions that challenge the muscles around the hip rather than simply pulling the joint into a stretch. That distinction matters. Hip mobility isn’t just about how far you can passively move. You also need enough strength and coordination to control that range. The pelvis is part of the equation too. If you constantly compensate by shifting the pelvis or twisting the lower back, you may create the appearance of more hip motion without actually improving hip control. Loaded mobility can be especially useful because it teaches the body to tolerate range while producing force. But deeper isn’t automatically better, and anatomy will influence what positions feel natural for you. Start with a manageable range and progress gradually. A sharp pinch in the groin or significant pain is a reason to modify rather than force the position. The goal isn’t just to get looser hips. It’s to build hips that can move, control and produce force through more positions.

“Stop stretching them. Strengthen them instead.” The useful idea in this video is that some muscles that feel tight may also need better strength and control—not simply more stretching. The exercises here progressively challenge the hip stabilizers and rotators through different positions: lying down, quadruped and seated. You’re asking the hip to control rotation and keep the femur/pelvis organized while the leg moves. That distinction matters. A muscle can feel restricted while still being relatively weak or poorly controlled in certain ranges. Stretching may temporarily change how the movement feels, but strengthening gives you an opportunity to build capacity in that range. I especially like the progression from supported positions toward more demanding, weight-bearing variations. You don't need to force the deepest position. The useful part is controlling the hip without the pelvis constantly shifting to create extra motion. This also doesn't mean “never stretch.” Stretching and strengthening can both have a place depending on the goal and the individual. Start with the beginner variation and progress only when you can maintain control. If you have significant hip/groin pain, recent injury or a sharp pinch during rotation, don't push through it. Sometimes the answer to a “tight” muscle isn't more stretching. It may be teaching it to tolerate and control load.

Your Posture Needs Work‼️ These 5 resistance-band exercises target the muscles that help keep your shoulders and shoulder blades organized: • Rhomboids + mid/lower traps • Rear delts • Lats • Scapular stabilizers • Upper-back endurance ✔️ Targets The Rhomboids & Mid/Lower Traps To Help Pull Your Shoulders Back ✔️ Strengthens The Rear Delts To Build Better Balance Around The Shoulder Joint ✔️ Activates The Lats & Improves Your Pulling Strength Without Heavy Weights ✔️ Trains The Smaller Stabilizing Muscles That Control Your Shoulder Blades ✔️ Builds Upper-Back Endurance To Help You Maintain Better Posture Throughout The Day Hours of sitting, driving, and looking down at your phone can leave your chest feeling tight while your upper back does less work than it should. That’s where these movements come in. The goal isn't to force your shoulders backward all day. It’s to build a back strong enough to support better positioning without constant effort. Keep the reps slow. Control the band. Let the back—not the arms—do the work. You don't need massive weights. You need tension, control, and consistency.

Mobility work isn’t about becoming a yoga guy. It’s about still being able to move heavy weight at 50 without your body filing for bankruptcy. Most gym injuries are strains and tears. Muscles stretching past what they can handle because there’s no strength in those deeper ranges. One awkward rep and suddenly you’re explaining to your wife why you need help putting on socks. Mobility fixes that. You build control where most guys are brittle. Your big lifts improve because you can actually access full range. Recent studies even show stretching itself builds muscle. And that chronic tension you’re carrying in your hips and shoulders isn’t just physical. Clear that up and your head feels better too. Stress likes to hide in tight muscles. The key: treat it like strength work. Cut the junk volume. Focus for a minute or two per movement. Actually progress the range and load over time. Intentional, not going through the motions while scrolling your phone. Here I’m hitting cossack squats for my hips. Cheap insurance.

Can’t touch your toes yet? Don’t force the reach. Better idea: work on the positions that limit the fold, then gradually increase your range with control. Hamstring flexibility matters, but so do hip mobility, pelvic movement, and how well you can control the position. And there’s a deeper connection here. In yogic tradition, Shiva is regarded as Adiyogi — the first Yogi and Adi Guru — the first Guru. The tradition tells that he transmitted the science of yoga to the seven Saptarishis, who then carried that knowledge forward. The body is the starting point. Awareness is the deeper practice. 🕉️ Move patiently. Breathe. Build range. Don’t force what your body isn’t ready for.

The most underrated exercise on the planet is the Bar Hang. But 99% of people don't even do them. Here are 4 powerful reasons to do bar hangs every day: 1. They improve your posture Don't want to look like a croissant? Bar hangs help strengthen & mobilize your upper body. They also provide a constant stretch on the shoulders, back arms & lats. This helps reverse upper body posture defects that come from sitting for too long. 2. They improve your strength Your weight is supported first by the grip of your hand. A good grip improves your performance across all exercises like the pull-up, rows, deadlifts...pretty much any activity requiring a grip. 3. They build stronger shoulders Bar hangs can improve mobility, and strengthen the shoulders & lats while reducing shoulder pain. They stretch the brachial muscles while strengthening the supraspinatus tendon, which is responsible for shoulder strength & endurance. 4. They may help you live longer Grip strength can be a biomarker for your inner age & determines your mobility & strength as you get older. In some studies, decreased grip strength is associated with accelerated biological age. There are 2 ways to do bar hangs: The first is a passive hang (video) Take an overhand grip. Let shoulders & lats relax. Your body should sink with your shoulders touching your ears. Hang there with feet slightly forward, core braced & let your weight passively stretch your shoulders, lats, & back. The second is an active hang. Start in a passive hang. Retract your shoulder blades down and away from your ears. Stop retracting when your ears reach your elbows. Hold for as long as you can. This puts more emphasis on the muscles in your shoulders and back. If you're a beginner aim for 10 seconds to start. Work your way up to one minute and eventually 2 minutes at a time. As long as you're not sore you can do these daily. If you can't hang from a bar you can step on a box at first to help support your weight. Another way is to attach a resistance band to the bar putting while putting your feet on it. Bar hangs are one of the most underrated exercises on the planet especially if you work at a desk. Add these to your daily workouts and experience the benefits.

🚨 Most pitchers never reach full layback. Not because they’re not flexible. Because they’re moving wrong. The biggest mistake I see? Pitchers leaning forward too early. When your chest collapses toward the plate, your shoulder blades can’t load properly, your elbow gets pulled forward, and you lose the ability to get into the power position where elite velocity is created. That’s why so many players feel like they’re “forcing” velocity. They’re cutting off the very movement that creates it. Instead of leaning forward, think: ✅ Belly out ✅ Chest proud ✅ Opposite shoulder higher This helps retract the shoulder blades, keeps the arm back longer, and gives the trunk more time to accelerate before release. The result? ⚾ More layback ⚾ More velocity ⚾ Less stress on the arm Most players are trying to throw harder with their arm. Elite pitchers create velocity with better sequencing. If you’re missing 5-10+ MPH, the problem may not be strength. It may be your mechanics. 📈 Get your mechanics evaluated. 🚀 Build a development plan. ⚾ Unlock the velocity you’re leaving on the table.

Sitting on the ground more is one of the simplest things you can do for long-term mobility. It sounds almost too basic, but getting down to the floor and back up is a real marker of independence. If you lose that ability, a lot of everyday function starts to go with it. Sit with your legs straight out. Sit cross-legged. Kneel. Shift around. These positions gently restore hip rotation, ankle mobility, and the ability to move your body in and out of different shapes. This kind of low-level, daily movement practice helps maintain better joint mechanics, and according to Kelly Starrett, it might be one reason why "floor cultures" such as those in Asia often preserve mobility longer and have fewer problems related to stiffness and loss of function. From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

The “world’s greatest stretch” is popular for a reason—but the useful part isn’t that it magically stretches your entire body. What this sequence actually does well is combine several movements in one flow: hip flexion, hip extension, thoracic rotation and a bit of hamstring/ankle mobility. The rotation is especially interesting. As the front leg stays planted, the upper body rotates away from it, giving the mid-back some movement while the hips work to maintain the position. That makes this a great movement prep drill before training, rather than something you need to force into a maximum stretch. Keep the range controlled and use your hands for support if balance is an issue. If you have an acute hip, knee, ankle or back injury—or sharp pain during the rotation—skip the deeper version and get appropriate guidance first. You don’t need to chase the deepest position. Smooth movement through a comfortable range is the win.

The first time I saw this exercise, my reaction was: there’s NO way that’s safe. Eventually I came back to it and tried it. No pain. Deep pec stretch, perfectly targeted in the muscle belly. Tested with a few more guys - even tighter wound guys who have had shoulder issues in the past. No pain. Deep pec stretch. Looser arm spiral after a set. Out of an abundance of caution, I came up with some regressions. Incline the bench and start from your knees. This is an advanced movement, but it is a loaded stretch that trains strength through length. If your shoulders don’t feel better after a set, stop. However, I’ve come to prefer this over regular isometric pushups if the goal is to build end range strength or mobility in retraction/horizontal abduction. Have you tried this? Any negative experiences? Would love to hear your thoughts.

However, I’ve come to prefer this over regular isometric pushups if the goal is to build end range strength or mobility in retraction/horizontal abduction. Have you tried this? Any negative experiences? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Learning a new movement isn't about getting it perfect on the first try. You'll make mistakes, lose your balance, forget the sequence, and sometimes feel like your body just doesn't understand what you're asking it to do. But that's exactly where the learning happens. In this flow, start with a tabletop position, add the shoulder tap, step out, kick through, swing your leg, return, and repeat on the other side. Go slow at first. Focus on coordination, control, and smooth transitions. Once your body understands the movement, the flow will start to feel natural. Don't rush the process. Practice → make mistakes → correct + repeat + flow. Your body learns through repetition, not perfection. Save this tutorial and give it a try!

ESPN recently reported that one area of focus for Roch Cholowsky and the White Sox is potentially "softening" his lead arm during the swing. It raises an interesting question: When is a perceived flaw actually a flaw? Before changing mechanics, shouldn't we first ask: What problem are we trying to solve? Different doesn't automatically mean better or worse. It gives us something to investigate. What's your process before deciding a movement needs to change?

I wish i knew this years ago. I've had one shoulder surgery already, and refused to do another becuase the recovery was so brutal...and now that i'm doing this...thank goodness that I didnt! Your shoulder pain might have a free solution. And it sounds almost too simple to be true. Hanging from a bar. According to Wolff's Law, you can actually change the shape of a bone based on the degree of mechanical loading. Dr. John Kirsch discovered that when you hang from a pull-up bar, you impose enough force to start reshaping a bone in your shoulder blade called the acromion. Years of bad posture and the weight of our arms literally HOOK this bone, and it pinches everything in your shoulder when you raise your arms overhead. In his research, 90 out of 92 patients avoided surgery just by hanging consistently. That is a 98% success rate. And it costs zero dollars! Now here is the catch. You need to hang for longer than a minute to see real benefits. If you cannot hang that long yet, start with your feet still on the ground, sink into it, and build from there. Shout out to Scott Bailey for this incredible breakdown. Give him a follow if you want to move better and feel better in your body. #ShoulderPain #Hanging #WolffsLaw #Mobility #TransformNation #ChrisPowell 💪🏼
