First, I have to say I'm not a physio.

All right, okay.

I just have to note that.

But what I would say is most movements that you see within a gym don't really explore full ranges of motion in your shoulders.

Your shoulders should be able to move overhead, behind your back, over here, and in all of those directions.

Here, exactly, shoulder extension, which is where you train with your shoulders behind your back, hanging from a bar is your shoulders, you know, shoulder overhead work.

You want to explore all of these ranges of motions with your shoulder, which kids will naturally do.

If kids love to go to the playground, what are the first thing they do?

They hang.

There's a book by Dr. John Kirsch, which is on why people experience shoulder pain.

And the first thing he starts with, which is why I love his work, is...

we stopped going to the playground.

And because of that, we no longer have a shoulder functioning like a shoulder.

It stops being a shoulder.

It becomes a half shoulder.

And then, especially if you, on top of that, you're doing sports that require very repetitive movement in singular directions, i.e.,

Right?

So remember, sport isn't human movement.

A sport is a, you know, a human-made concept.

The construct of hitting a ball over and over, which has rules, which you're always using the same arm and you're always doing the same movement.
