Jacked up shoulders holding you back? New's flash, you are not the only one. It turns out that shoulder pain and injuries are some of the most common of all dysfunctions for active individuals.
Just like most things we have come to learn and share with
ya'll is that this is most likely a result of faulty movement
patterns. You can go as hard as you want, and lift heavy things for
days ..but the flip-side of that is that you have to take the time
to focus on your movement. Believe it or not, it is also a good
idea to take care of your joints with the same amount of focus you
put into your WOD's ...a few minutes rolling around on a lacrosse
ball ain't going to cut it.
So knowing that, we headed over to Ambition Athletics to
interview one of our good friends, Max Shank. We chatted it up
about movement, kettlebell training, and a bunch of other cool shit
he is doing in his gym, and around the world with his
workshops.
More importantly, we talked about the shoulder, how it
operates, and how we can take care of it so we can go hard and
still feel healthy and strong.
If you find this episode useful, Max has put together a
resource for the Shrugged fam on taking care of your shoulders. You
