Does your shoulder hurt during pull ups? Does your shoulder hurt, in general?
.
Maybe it’s not a lack of stretching and everything we’ve been taught about mobility is wrong.
.
Good chance.
.
The shoulder is going to respond much better and much more quickly when you work on global strengthening of everything surrounding the joint.
.
And since pull ups hammer the shoulder to pieces when done in anything less than ideal form, if you’re having painful pull ups, just fix that shoulder.
.
One of the most underrated muscles is the Serratus Anterior. Quite often it’s, weak, tight, and inhibited, so in this video, I show you how to get your shoulders right and get your pull ups game STRONG.

A hip impingement is a game changer for almost everything you do, and not in a good way.
.
For the most part, #FAI (femoroacetabular impingement) is fixable, however, the #acetabulum can have essentially three faulty structures.
1. A misshapen femoral head
2. A deformed femoral neck,
3. A hip socket that covers too much of the femoral head.
Over time, repetitive “bumping” or impingement of the #femur on the rim of the acetabulum leads to #cartilage and #labral damage. If it’s structural, then this isn’t for you.
.
Now on the flip side, the problem most of the time is that the head of the femur is being dragged into the labrum because the pelvis is being torqued the opposite direction relative to the femur which is a much easier repair. 👍👌
.
🔥(FAI) HIP HACK🔥
.
The two problems with the hip are:
1. Lack of joint space
2. Tissue extensibility loss
Both of these require one thing, patience. 😉
.
The #hamstring complex and the #adductors come together and form a seam and what happens is that the posterior chain loads the ischial tuberosity and the adductors load the femur and pelvis. Any flexion at the hip is met with the head of the femur pounding the labrum and grinding across the joint surface in the acetabulum.
.
Here’s what needs to happen:
1. Create space in the socket by working through flexion/extension and internal/external rotation under distraction.
2. Separate and unload the posterior and medial compartments of the femur.
Here’s how to do it:
1️⃣ Lateral Banded Frog Rock n Thrust
2️⃣ Banded Supine Rotation
3️⃣ Adductor Kettle Bell Smash
4️⃣ Hamstring/Adductor Pull Apart
BOOM! Go and do. Smash you later!

👻Want your shoulders to last as long as you do? Then train them for variable load and position.
.
👻Start training your shoulders in as many ranges and positions as possible and you’ll end up with the most healthy and strong basketball shoulders on the entire damn block.
.
👻Fancy expensive programs for shoulders are completely pointless and simply a way to separate you from your hard earned money.
.
👻The easiest way to get in the way of injury, is by loading those caps in all kinds of ways.
.
👻Start throwing in rotation under load, use dumbbells to capture muscle synergism, static holds in odd positions, just get them moving.
.
👻If you’re getting shoulder pain while training, there’s a good chance you’ve got a gap somewhere in your shoulder strength. Exploit that in rehab movements to eliminate that gap and then hunt for the next one.
.
👻Warning, don’t try and eliminate every shoulder issue all at once, pick one, fix it, move on to the next one.
.
👻Here’s a great series that my patients do to strengthen the tissue around those high horsepower shoulder joints.

If you’re having shoulder problems, give this series of five drills a try, your shoulders will thank you for it.
.
The serratus anterior stabilizes, protracts and rotates the scapula, and quite often, is inherently weak on most people.
.
If there is a problem with the scapula directly, either a basic instability or more severely, a winged scapula, then you want to tackle all of these.
.
One thing I’ll throw in here, is that if it’s an injury to the long thoracic nerve, you’ll want to have that assessed by a competent doc prior to hammering these out.
.
Now that being said, if it is an actual nerve lesion, understand that quite often, this still works, it just takes substantially more time.
.
Regardless of the cause, making sure that your shoulders move and groove like they’ve been filled with butter is one of the best things that you can do.
.
Get those shoulders right!

Reset your scapula and clean up your pecs........unless you want that searing pain to continue?

The scapula is the anchor point for driving horsepower out through the hands. This means that when your scap moves like it’s made out of modeling clay, you’re doing two things:
1. Bleeding more horsepower than a dodge transmission.
2. Chewing up the shoulder joint.

The pec minor comes off the upper ribcage and inserts on the coracoid, and since it slides underneath the pec major, it forces the pec Complex hypertonicity. The scap gets torqued down and forward shoving the glenoid fossa into a position with the stability of a beach towel.
-
The Serratus anterior, which protracts and stabilizes the scapula, shortens and glues the scap to the posterior ribcage.
Now, not only is the scap in a sub optimal position, it’s also held down like a kid getting ‘beef stewed’ on the play ground.
The subscapularis joins in and rolls the head of the humerus over the anterior inferior labrum, Yeah, the weakest point in the shoulder.
And now we load up weight and expect great things to happen, or.......the shoulder gets hammered into baby food.🙄.
THE FIX:
1️⃣ E-Z Body tempering palm Up pec smash (keep the shoulder externally rotated or you’re simply pounding on muscle for no benefit).
2️⃣ Double overhand grip, behind the back shoulder extension. 2 minutes
3️⃣ PVC subscap/Serratus Nunchuk. 2 minutes.
BOOM! Horsepower freedom! Smash you later!

Have you ever had your ankle bind up? .
You can’t squat.
.
You can’t jump.
.
You can’t run.
.
And you feel like there isn’t anything you can do.
.
I’ve been there, I’ve had calf and ankle problems almost take me out of the game. I used to stretch and smash away on my calves and my achilles with minimal results.
.
That’s because I was missing one key piece, which is reprogramming my nervous system to recognize that there was actually more movement at the joint. You need to exploit that new range of motion right afterwards to cement that new position into your brain.
.
Here’s how to make permanent ankle changes.
.
THE TEST.
1. Kneel with the toes of one foot approximately a hand width from the wall.
2. Drive the knee forward and touch the wall.
3. If the heels comes up, or there is pain across the ankle crease.
4. You fail.
.
Let’s tackle this. .
1️⃣ Banded Ankle Release
2️⃣ Crossover Calf Release
3️⃣ Toes Forward Squat Hold
4️⃣ Toes Forward Squat Hold W/Wall Support
5️⃣ Active Dorsiflexion

🐯Hey there! How’s your gluteus medius? Oh, you’re not sure? Then let me ask you this, do you have some seriously crooked hips? You do?
Ohhhhhh, see, now we’re getting somewhere, yep, check your glute medius.
.
🐯The gluteus medius is the balancing workhorse of the pelvis and essentially keeps that entire system oriented in a neutral position with respect to your own orientation.
.
🐯Notice I didn’t say ‘in relation to your orientation to the ground.’ Remember, the pelvis is organized relative to the position of the spine, perpendicular to be specific.
.
🐯If your hip drops on one side when you squat, or if you are having some knee issues, give this series a go for 6-8 weeks and watch the magic happen.

Why 'Should' is Destroying Your Potential
Vlog 157 June 07-2025

I share personal experiences, including the foundational skills I taught my children and the hard truths about why 'good' and 'excellent' are no longer enough in today's cut-throat world. The essence of the message is to inspire you to move beyond mediocrity, challenge your limits, and strive for exceptionalism in every aspect of your life. This episode is a call to action for everyone to stop settling for 'shoulds' and start living a life driven by 'musts'.
