'OPEN-SHOULDER' POSITION vs. 'SHOULDER-MOBILITY':
A loaded open-chain tool for developing mobility in the thoracic spine & 'open-shoulder' position. One thing which should be understood from the outset is that 'open-shoulder' refers a FORM (or, rather, and ANGLE under the armpit between your torso and upper-arm), and does NOT mean, nor is it necessarily dependent upon, your actual shoulder mobility (i.e. the range that your arms can freely move through as determined by the allowances around your glenohumeral joint).
More accurately, 'open shoulder' refers to the available range of straight-arm, overhead arm-flexion when in position of slight external shoulder rotation (as you would be in your handstand).

The 'Active' Squat
THE WHAT:
The 'Active' squat is a form which is structurally sound to receive load and produce force from (e.g. as in the context of performing a 'Back squat'). Compared to the ‘Passive-squat’, in terms of range it requires LESS knee, hip, and ankle-flexion, although their development is still af... -
"A Minute in the Hole" - loaded squat...
THE WHAT & HOW:
A static frame for experiencing, and accustoming to, prolonged stress, both physical & psychological, in the ACTIVE squat position (i.e. bottom position of back squat). Choose a weight that allows you to maintain your form throughout - do NOT let your form & structure deteriorate.... -
Loaded-pike & Squat stretch
THE WHAT:
A loaded mobility context focused on developing front-folding range in both 'pike' and 'squat' forms. Whilst the loaded 'pike' phase of the movement emphasises range-development of the posterior chain (namely range of posterior-legs & lumbar-flexion), the 'squat' phase loads external HI...
