    Learn how to develop strong, flexible and mobile shoulders. We guide you through an in-depth shoulder assessment and how to implement your results into an individualised training program. We discuss shoulder anatomy, lat stretching, lower trap raises, rotator cuff training and more. In this video, you will also be familiarised with the relationship between shoulder injury & pain, bone structure and myofascial soft tissue treatment methods to help. These tools can be applied across different sports whether it's for handstands, climbing, acrobatics or simply to improve your general shoulder health and function.

      I'm pretty limited in calf mobility. Can't get my knees further than 7 -- 10 cm over the toes.
      That just about allows me to squat correctly with a barbell.
      Even if I work on improving it, there's hardly any change.
      And a full bodyweight squat isn't for me. I would like to be proven wrong on that. But it seems far out of reach for me.
      Hips and calf mobility are important enough to be explored, I think.

But I’m anatomically very limited in full locking out or straightening my elbows wich causes my bodyweight always to be on the opposite side and instead being able to stack properly I’m always muscle fighting against it..

    I have been dealing with the lack of mobility in my left shoulders for a few years. In an attempt to improve my mobility, I have watched hundreds of videos. This is the first video that provided a detailed explanation and a process that would allow me to not only focus on where it is needed. It is very easy for me to tell I lack mobility, but now you have provided me a way to test where the actual problem resides and start a directed approach for corrections. I am looking forward to doing the testing this evening, and actually starting on my path to more mobility. Amazing video.. thank you for your time and effort putting this together.

    18:45 Matt fixed what years of calisthenics ‘broke’ in my shoulders. Part of the reason I made so much progress in the 100 day transformation was that he specifically targeted my ‘weak links’ with efficient methods. Much like past me wouldn’t believe what I can do now, it amazes me how bad I was. I even struggled to hold a squat bar on my back. Solid video and love the cgi work!

      Been improving my shoulder ROM a LOT after a proper assessment from your video. However, after years of partial ROM pullups, my lats are still limiting factor for me (130-140 degree flexion in leahy test). Are there any good stretches for the lats to where you can easily track progress? The pole stretch is awesome, but hard to track progress. Any tip or reference would be much appreciated

    mine of gold in terms of information. If I had a critique in this video it would be maybe pairing exercises that can improve each range depending on what area of the shoulder joint the person needing to work on. I know you dabbled in exercises which could improve overall health, but maybe more specific exercises when you talk about each assessment. Amazing video and way more knowledge than many coaches I have seen on TH-cam

    Oh my god, the bit about the lat stretching at around 11:30 is so cool. I climb twice a week and love overhead pulling movements, but yoga poses and stretches I've found online for the lats never really do much for me - they just don't elicit a stretch response. About 6 months ago I happened to figure out that if I sit in a wide-legged child's pose and walk waaaaaay over to one side, I get a stretch. After 30 - 45 seconds the response dissipates, so I twist my spine to create rotation and the stretch then moves into the lower back. This is almost EXACTLY the same as what you show in the video and it now makes perfect sense why the stretch works so effectively for me. For anyone else watching who would prefer to be able to do the lat stretch on the floor instead of a doorway or pole, I hope this helps!!

      Nice one for intuitively figuring that out - now you know the theory 🤙the real magic with the pillar version is when you push with the free hand. It's hard to beat.

    Wow! Thank you so much for explaining this so extensively. I was wondering why my shoulder was so locked up, now I know and how to start correcting it. ❤️❤️❤️

    I'm only 1/4 through the videa, and are already impressed and subscribed.
    And I actually know a lot about shoulder mobility.
    But I have been maintaining my shoulder mobility mostly by full range exercises, mostly in gymnastic rings, hanging leg raises, and such things.
    My basic build is with not so great mobility, so I have to maintain what I got.
