Coaching Tips: Get into a plank position, and elevate your feet on a bench or box. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to heels.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 Your shoulders should be above your hands.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063Place a kettlebell (or dumbbell) on one side of your body, and so it\u2019s directly below your shoulder.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around the spine), brace your core (360 degree brace), and squeeze your glutes.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 Now pass the kettlebell to the opposite side of your body. Repeat using the opposite arm.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063In terms of your shoulder\/shoulder blade on the planted side, do not mindlessly hang out. Press your body away from the floor and protract your shoulder blade (move it away from the spine and around your ribcage).\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063For the duration of the exercise, your body should remain in a straight line from your head to heels. Do not let your lower back hyperextend, ribcage flare, torso, spine or hips rotate, weight shift from foot to foot, and do not let your hips pike or collapse.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 \u2063In terms of breathing, do what works and feels best for you.\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063\u2063 #4) Advanced TRX Serratus Slide Bear Crawl Combo&nbsp; This exercise strengthens the serratus muscle, improves shoulder and scapular controlled mobility, and lumbo-pelvic stability.&nbsp;The serratus helps upwardly rotate and protract the shoulder blades.&nbsp; Coaching Tips: Get into a bear crawl position. Your head, torso and hips should be in a stacked position. Tuck your chin, and keep your neck in a neutral position.&nbsp; Place your thighs so they are in a vertical position, bend your knees, and keep them a few inches above the floor.&nbsp; Adopt your preferred foot width. You may place your feet so they are together, shoulder width apart, or somewhere in between. The farther apart your feet are, the more stable your base will be.&nbsp;&nbsp; Place the straps of the TRX around your forearms and bend your elbows to about 90 degrees. Your forearms should be parallel in width.&nbsp; Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around your spine), brace your core (360 degree brace around your spine), tuck your ribs towards your hips (close the space in your midsection), and squeeze your glutes.&nbsp; Before you perform the \u201cslide\u201d and extend your arms, lightly and deliberately press your body away from the straps of the TRX and protract your shoulder blades.&nbsp;Think about spreading your shoulder blades apart and moving them away from your spine and around your ribcage. Now, extend your arms and slide them towards a wall\/ceiling. As you are doing so, simultaneously extend your knees. During this component of the exercise your shoulder blades should upwardly rotate and protract. Do not keep your shoulder blades pinned.&nbsp; Once you have hit your end range (a range where you are able to maintain proper form), perform the reverse movements and return to the starting position. As you are doing so, your shoulder blades should perform the reverse movements as they did when you were extending your arms, and should downwardly rotate and retract.&nbsp; For the duration of the exercise, your head, torso and hips should remain in a stacked position (and in a straight line from the top\/back of your head to heels when your legs are fully extended). Do not allow your lower back to hyperextend, ribcage to flare, torso, spine or hips to rotate, weight to shift from foot to foot, or hips to pike or collapse.&nbsp; In terms of breathing, do what works and feels best for you.&nbsp; #5) Bottoms-Up Overhead Presses From L-Sit This exercise requires a lot of lumbo-pelvic stability and is extremely anti-extension in nature. The bottoms-up kettlebell presses also improve upper body strength, shoulder and scapular controlled mobility, and grip strength. Coaching Tips: Sit on the floor and fully extend your knees. Your head, torso and hips should be in a stacked position.\u2063 Hold two kettlebells in a bottoms-up position.\u2063 Before each rep, take a deep breath in (360 degrees of air around your spine), brace your core (360 degree brace), and squeeze your glutes. Now press the kettlebells overhead. Do not move the weights overhead by hyperextending your lower back and flaring your ribcage, excessively shrugging your shoulders, or laterally flexing your spine. \u2063 In the top position, your arms should resemble close to a straight line, and your biceps should be in close proximity to your ears. \u2063 Pause for a count and gain control.\u2063 Now \u201crow\u201d the kettlebells back down to the starting position. Do not keep your shoulder blades pinned. They are meant to move.\u2063 As you are performing the press, your shoulder blades should upwardly rotate and protract. During the lowering component your shoulder blades should perform the reverse movements. In the bottom position, your elbows should remain at approximately a 45-60 degree angle with your torso. \u2063 For the duration of the exercise, your head, torso, and hips should remain in a stacked position. Do not allow your lower back to hyperextend or flex laterally, ribcage to flare, or torso, spine or hips to rotate. In terms of breathing, do out what works and feels best for you. I prefer to exhale just after I\u2019ve initiated the pressing movement, and will inhale as my arm is returning to the starting position.\u2063<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4971,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,576,1,225,588,23],"tags":[324,525,235,236,234,752,183,271,326,325,173,409,408,516,237,400,396,327,328,232,607,231,608,448,332,469,299,41,196,317,172,470,331,590,298,467,241],"class_list":["post-4961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-core-exercises","category-filler-exercises","category-fitness","category-grip-training","category-kettlebell-exercises","category-shoulder-health","tag-advanced-core-exercises","tag-best-core-exercise","tag-bottoms-up-exercises","tag-bottoms-up-kettlebell-training","tag-bottoms-up-training","tag-core-core-workout","tag-core-exercises","tag-core-stability","tag-core-stability-exercises","tag-core-stability-training","tag-core-training","tag-core-training-for-men","tag-core-training-for-women","tag-core-workout","tag-core-workouts","tag-core-workouts-for-men","tag-core-workouts-for-women","tag-exercises-for-shoulder-health","tag-exercises-for-shoulder-stability","tag-grip-exercises","tag-grip-strength","tag-grip-strength-training","tag-grip-strengthening","tag-grip-training","tag-optimal-shoulder-health","tag-overhead-mobility","tag-prehab-for-shoulders","tag-pull-up-training","tag-push-up-training","tag-shoulder-exercises","tag-shoulder-health","tag-shoulder-mobility","tag-shoulder-prehab","tag-shoulder-presses","tag-shoulder-stability","tag-shoulder-training","tag-strong-core","main-post"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 Advanced Exercises For Shoulder Health - Meghan Callaway<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This week I am sharing 5 advanced exercises for shoulder health.
