The Drills for a Resilient Shoulder:

* Sets/Reps: 5-10 reps, 3 sets
* Video 4: Sidelying Thoracic Press: The shoulder blade needs a solid foundation. This drill locks in stability and integrates the entire shoulder complex.
* Sets/Reps: 5-10 reps, 3 sets
* Video 5: Landmine Split Jerk: Get the body working together! This exercise integrates the shoulder with the rest of your body, building power transfer and full-body stability.
* Sets/Reps: 5 reps, 3 sets
* Video 6: Tall Kneel Thoracic Stretch: Donât forget mobility! Optimal upper back (thoracic spine) movement is essential to take stress off the shoulder joint itself.
* Sets/Reps: 3 breaths per rep, 3 reps, repeat for 3 sets
