Episode notes
Behind The Neck Press Value
- Behind the neck presses demand high shoulder mobility and stability to be safe and effective.
- Practicing this movement helps maintain shoulder mobility and can bulletproof the joint when done correctly.
Safe Upright Row Execution
- Perform upright rows only if you have the shoulder mobility and stability to avoid pain.
- Start light, control the movement, and gradually increase load to prevent injury.
Kipping Pull-Up Purpose
- Kipping pull-ups are a skill and a transition exercise, not a replacement for strict pull-ups.
- They should be done explosively and not to fatigue to avoid shoulder issues.
