Short Class 57: Shoulder End-Range Control
5 classes per week
•
35m
This class will help you develop greater end-range control of your shoulders
Equipment Needed: Yoga blocks, and we'll use the wall for one drill. Weights are optional.
We’ll work a series of different end-range control drills for every joint position of the shoulder (Flex/Ext/IR/ER/Abd/Add). Movements such as lift offs, passive range holds, hovers, and CARs.
We’re not working any PAILs/RAILs in this class - which is often used to expand range of motion. The movements we’ll emphasize in this class will be to develop greater active control at end-range. So we’re teaching the nervous system how to produce and control maximum force at end range.
Creating control is just as important as expanded range, and for some people the control element is even more important. For example, people who are hypermobile, or those who have far more passive range of motion than active. Regardless, having control over your ranges of motion key.
When it comes to adding weight, you want to first master these ranges of motion with just your bodyweight. Once you feel you're developing some good strength and control, and you want to progressively overload, you can add weight - but start off very light, and over time you can gradually build up.
I hope you enjoy the class!
