🛑 Stop with the same ol same ol rotator cuff exercises!

While the aren’t inherently bad, chances are you’ve been doing them the same way for too long and you’re no longer getting much out of them

Your rotator cuff’s real job isn’t just rotating—it’s stabilizing the joint against chaos and different environments. To build truly resilient shoulders, you need to challenge reflexive stability:

Bottoms-Up KB Work: Shifting the center of mass triggers irradiation, reflexively “turning on” the cuff for better joint centration.

Oscillatory Carries: Use “noise” and vibration to force the cuff to react to unpredictable movements in real-time.

Crawl Variations: Integrates the shoulder with the core and serratus, teaching the cuff to stabilize while the shoulder blade is in motion.

Train for the demands of reality, not just the anatomy chart. Hope this helps you mix up your shoulder training! 💪✨

Kettlebell Mobility

Don’t skip this shoulder exercise as a top tier warm up and way to maintain good shoulder RoM 💪🏼

⭕️ You can’t build strength on top of a restricted joint. Shoulder CARS are my non-negotiable for “greasing the groove” and making sure the entire shoulder joint is primed and ready to go.

❌If you’re feeling “pinchy” at the top of your lifts or doing random movements, these controlled rotations are a great way to explore around and see what positions and at what points does the shoulder struggle

This goes a long way to making sure you’re doing movements that are safe in then gym and to implement a strategy to address these pinchy areas
