WOD Doc: Improving Shoulder External Rotation & Pass Throughs
Episode 99: The shoulder is a joint that is mobile, but needs to have adequate stability. Without it, overhead movement becomes dangerous and the increased risk of ‘shoulder dumping‘ occurs.
Using a PVC pipe with the grip shown, actively resist the movement into external rotation 10 reps, 3 second hold. Next, add external rotation by adding over-pressure with your below hand, like a lever. 10 reps, 3 second hold.
Don’t forget you can use this in conjunction with your standard Pass Through.
