Possibly the best upper body warm up ever!!!

[SouthernLord]

I've been doing this before my upper body days and on some off days. This has really helped my shoulders tremendously and I recommend every one here that is serious about getting bigger, stronger, and staying pain free to watch this.

I bought mine at EliteFTS - Powerlifting and Strength Training Products and Knowledge for Lifters, Athletes, Coaches, and Trainers, but you can find them elsewhere cheaper. I did use a foam pool "noodle", but the hard core of the foam roller makes a big difference.

The roller works wonders on tight hips too.

I'm not just going to take your word for it, I'm going to give it a try.

Back from the dead.

Thank you for this thread!! I have severe shoulder problems right now. To the point where I almost cant workout. I will definitely give this a try. The last part looks very hard to do!! I have a very hard time squatting because I can hardly grab the bar, even at the furthest point out where the plates touch. If this works for me I will be the happiest mofo on the planet! I have been dreading surgery or cortizone shots. I will give it a try and see what happens. Maybe I could even hit the gym without taking a painkiller, lol.

Nice post! The hand to the ground was really easy, but I could barely get the last one without using a band! lol

that last shoulder rotation stretch (as you probably know SL), DC swears by to fix 90% of shoulder issues. That's a great movement.
