Most people think they have tight shoulders.

What they actually have…
is a stiff thoracic spine.

And the Sotts Press exposes that immediately.
Because it’s a positionally limited movement.

If you can’t get into the position…
you simply can’t complete the rep.

No cheating.
No hiding poor mobility.

Sitting in a squat locks the hips into flexion,
which blocks the lumbar spine from trying to extend and compensate.

So the movement has to come from the right places.
You need:
• Adequate shoulder flexion
• Strong thoracic extension
• Good overhead control

If those pieces aren’t there…
the bar isn’t going up.

Which is exactly why it’s such a powerful exercise.
It doesn’t just train mobility.
It demands it.

Save this and try it next upper session.
You’ll find out very quickly where your overhead mobility really sits.

New patient today in clinic.

What are we thinking here, team?

Come follow along Ben’s rehab gym day 👊

ACL.
MCL.
Meniscus repair.

Big surgery.

But now we build.

Testing showed clear deficits:
• Quads
• Lateral hip
• Calves

Today’s session was about:
Moving well.
Rebuilding coordination.
Attacking the weak links.

Early stage rehab isn’t about max weights.
It’s about owning positions.
Controlling tempo.
Restoring confidence in the limb.

Stack enough good sessions like this and the comeback takes care of itself.

If you’re post ACL and don’t feel 100% yet, this is your reminder:

Test.
Target.
Train with intent.

Save this. Send it to someone in rehab.

ReReturning to sport after syndesmosis surgery isn’t just about the ankle 👣

It’s about restoring confidence, output, and tolerance through the entire chain

This athlete is back running and loading again

But the calf and foot are taking a hit as volume ramps up

So we manage it 👇

Dry needling
Targeted manual therapy
Movement re-education

Not as the solution

But as a tool
Reduce tone
Settle pain

Improve motor output and decrease inhibition

Shoulder mobility fix

I’m tight. No denying it. Always have been.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t get better.

These are the tests I’m using as a litmus test for my shoulder range 👇

• Active shoulder flexion + abduction

• Wall angels
Great for overhead range and external rotation without cheating through the low back. Also a solid look at relative thoracic extension.

• Bridge / crab
A simple way to assess shoulder extension capacity.
If you’ve got tight shoulders, give these a shot.
Track them. Retest them. Progress them.

Good news 👀

These “tests” also double as excellent starting exercises.

Let’s get better together 🤝🤣
Save this. Send it to your stiff training partner

Why people fail rehab.

Most rehab doesn’t fail because the exercises are wrong.
It fails because the mindset is.

If you believe your recovery is happening TO you, you stay stuck.
If you believe your recovery happens BECAUSE of you, things change.

That’s an internal locus of control.
The belief that your actions matter.

You can’t control the injury.
You can control how you respond.

Victim behaviour looks like waiting, blaming, and hoping time fixes it.

Progress looks like ownership, consistency, and effort when it’s uncomfortable.

People who take control get better.
People who don’t… don’t.

If you’re tired of rehab hell, this is your wake-up call.

The best template for effective training

Warm up
Stop overcomplicating it.
Get warm.
Move through key patterns.
Prime the nervous system for what’s coming.

That’s it.

Next go explosive.
Jump. Throw. Or both.
High intent only.
This is where you drive neural output, tendon stiffness, and rate of force development.

Pair that with low stimulus mobility.
Target your biggest restriction while your system is switched on.

Then into the main work.

Big blocks.
For this session, vertical push and pull supersets to build real upper body capacity.

Finish with accessories.
A hinge pattern.
Loaded mobility like reverse Nordics.
Rotator cuff work to keep the shoulders resilient.

Simple. Repeatable. Effective.

If this is how you like to train, like and comment for more.

There’s a time and place for extra stimulus in training.

Just like pre workout can shift your state physiologically and mentally, other inputs can do the same.

Mindset. Music. Caffeine. Even the environment you lift in.

Physiological arousal matters.
Not in a weird way. Relax.

I’m not someone who gets fired up every session. No screaming, no ammonia, no eight coffees just to move a barbell.

And if you feel like you need that every single time you train, it’s probably worth zooming out.

That usually points to something bigger being off.

Recovery not keeping up.
Training intensity too high for too long.
Or inconsistency masked by artificial hype.

But sometimes, those tools have their place.

Today was one of those days.

Spent the morning going back and forth with my accountants, head full, patience thin. I needed to clear the noise and just lift some circles.

Turned on angry music.
Blanked the mind.
Got a little amped.

AMRAP sets are perfect for that.
One hard set. Challenging load. As many quality reps as you’ve got.

Used sparingly, stimulus can amplify performance.
Used constantly, it’s a red flag.

Train the big picture well, and you get to choose when to turn the dial up.

Why most people fail rehab

It’s rarely because the injury was “too bad.”

It’s usually because expectations don’t match effort.

Rehab only works when the plan matches the goal and the work matches the plan.

You can’t want high-level outcomes with low-level consistency.

You can’t skip the basics and expect progression.

You can’t ignore the plan and then blame the rehab.
The people who get better aren’t special.

They do the simple things, consistently.

Results are proportional to the work you’re willing to put in.

If rehab hasn’t worked for you before, this is the part worth reflecting on.

If this hits home, save it.
If you’re ready to do it properly, you know where to find us.
