Short Class 69: Shoulder CAR Variations
5 classes per week
•
21m
This class will showcase a few different variations of Shoulder CARs
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks and in one drill we’ll be using the wall.
There’s many bases and different ways to do your CARs, and in this class we'll offer you some variety specific to the shoulder.
Here’s the bases we utilize:
1. Standing Hip Hinge
2. Quadruped
3. Prone Swimmer
4. Side-lying (high irradiation + yoga block)
5. Standing Wall Block (high irradiation)
We’re not working any PAILs/RAILs in this class - which is often used to expand range of motion. With CARs we express our full ranges of motion and we can develop greater body control.
The tempo and irradiation will play a big role in how great of a training stimulus you want to achieve with your CARs. In our 4th and 5th base, we ramp up the irradiation to 60-80% and we slow down the tempo even more than usual - this creates a strong training stimulus. This will really help develop end-range control.
You always have freedom to go at your own pace and intensity. Always listen to your body and never work in any range of motion that creates pain.
Enjoy!
