♂️SHOULDER EXTERNAL ROTATION
---
Looking for another rotator cuff drill? Well, you're in the right place.
Shoulder external rotation is crucial to healthy, strong shoulders. If you're not working on your shoulder ER consistently, you're probably missing a piece of the puzzle.
Start off prone for this drill. I have a portable treatment table here. Drop one arm off the side of the table, and work on that shoulder ER. You can add weight, or resistance bands. The weight has a pretty consistent path of resistance, while the resistance band is much harder at the end where the band is fully stretched. This can be great to work end range. I didn't film it, but you can also combine the two to get the best of both worlds.
The prone ER ball drop is also a great drill to work on endurance and rapid ER. Try to minimize body movement (I could do better in that regard). If you play a sport like baseball or softball, use that to get more sport specific with your drill. You can also work up to a small weighted ball.
1️⃣ Prone shoulder ER
2️⃣ Prone Shoulder ER with weight + band variation
3️⃣ Prone Shoulder ER with ball drop + dynamic movement
4️⃣ Prone shoulder horizontal abduction with ball drop

Give this a try if you want to challenge ER in a novel way.

Shoulder Stability Rehab - Wall CARs
——-
Shoulder stability can be a challenging thing to address, particularly if there’s no cause such as with people with hyper mobility. My primary goal is to strengthen the muscles around the shoulder and scapula in many ways. I use both open and closed kinetic chain exercises throughout rehab. Anyone who struggles with shoulder stability typically wants to avoid extension and external rotation combined.
——-
Here is a shoulder exercise I like to use to incorporate more of a control component. CARs stands for controlled articular rotations. This is still a closed chain as her hand is anchored to the wall. There are certain ranges which are more challenging. This is typically when her arm is at the 1-2 o clock position. I make sure to emphasize controlled motions and pushing into the wall for some proprioceptive feedback to the shoulder. The video only shows her doing it in one direction but I usually will have them go both ways.

Overhead Shoulder Strength️♀️
.
To say that CrossFit involves a large amount of overhead shoulder movement would be an understatement. From pull ups, to presses, to Olympic lifts, to carries, etc crossfitters from the recreational to professional level need to be strong in the overhead position.
.
To get the body ready for the demand of these overhead movements, we need to train in that range of motion. While exercises done below the head will help to support and build a good base for the shoulders, there should be some overhead training done to make sure your shoulders are ready for whatever comes your way in your WOD!
.
✅How do you train your shoulders for your WODs?

Shoulder Stability Rehab
——-
When addressing shoulder instability, my goal is to challenge the shoulder in a variety of ways. This includes both open and closed chain exercises. The shoulder has the most degrees of freedom out of any joint in the body, and ensuring it regains stability is important. The goal in early rehab is to gradually introduce load and pain free exercises. Exercises should focus on shoulder and scapula stabilizers, while combining both open and closed chain exercises. Additionally, exercises must progress to a high enough level to meet the demands the demands of their sport.
——-
Here are two exercises I like to use during the early phase of rehab. The goal is to safely promote strengthening and stability within the joint.
1️⃣ Shoulder flexion with ball - got this one from @theptinitiative. She is pushing in the ball get more posterior cuff activation to improve the stability of her shoulder.
2️⃣ Cable press outs - I’m a fan of using cables in rehab due to how versatile they are. They allow for strengthening at varying ranges which is important when addressing the shoulder.

Upper back strength.
.
Many people have some sort of postural faults/concerns and are often in a forward slumped position while sitting at their desk or just in general. As the muscles in front of our body (pecs, scalenes) are tight and muscles in the back (traps, rhomboids) are weak, the shoulders will want to start rounding forwards, pulling everything else with it.
.
Here are a few tips to help strengthen the upper back and help prevent you from slouching.✅
.
1️⃣ Unilateral Row.
2️⃣ Bilateral Row.
3️⃣ Scapular retraction exercise. (Can perform full dumbbell row exercise as well).
.
I like to begin by warming up/exercising one side at a time to help avoid any type of compensation.
