Episode description

Today I am very excited to bring to you a second episode I did as a guest, on my good friend Chad Vaughn's phenomenal podcast; The Barbell Mobility Podcast. 

 

Chad is a two-time Olympic weightlifter, now a phenomenal Olympic weightlifting coach himself and I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for the last six years at Power Monkey Camp.

 

The last episode was A Step by Step Guide to Improving Flexibility and today will be a masterclass on shoulder mobility issues. 

 

We explain exactly how you can help athletes of all abilities improve their overhead shoulder flexibility.

 

 

We discuss:

 

 

What are eccentrics and how do they improve flexibility. 

 

The importance of good shoulder mobility and how it relates to shoulder stability.

 

How to tell if it’s a mobility or technical issue.

 

Which muscles cause shoulder flexibility issues?

 

How to improve a squat.

 

Why the repetitive nature of sports makes certain muscles very prone to stiffness.

 

Being under a barbell is just like being in a handstand, so training both can improve both.

 

 

I hope you enjoy this episode of Chad, head on over and check out: The Barbell Mobility Podcast.
