First XV Performance

If you want healthy shoulders or are worried about your shoulder health, don’t skip on your thoracic mobility.

These are 4 of my go to’s for t-spine mobility.

1 Bench T-Spine Extensions: Focus on pushing the hips back and letting your chest sink gradually, not forcefully
2 Quadruped T-Spine Mobility: Imagine your scap (shoulder blade) leading your body as you rotate
3 Side Lying Open Books: Focus on your shoulder movement, not your arm
4 Foam Roller T-Spine Extensions: Focus on the extension without putting it into your lower back

Thanks for stopping by friends!

Hello again Facebook land, getting back to posting here instead of just IG (though you should check there often too). Today is about med-ball fun!

5 moves or developing power with a med-ball

Yes, I put these beautiful new med-balls to work right away. Med-ball training is not just russian twists and whatever other funky core exercise you can come up with. It’s a tool we can use to develop power for both gen pop and athletes.

The 5 in the video are the 5 I use the most with some variation on them depending on the person or athlete.
