'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).

Floor 'Butcher's block'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A fundamental & easily accessible context for development of the 'open-shoulder' position (facilitating overhead arm-flexion range) in a loaded, isometric context. As part of its form & execution, the 'hollow-body' position is also drilled & conditioned in a prone position, resist... -
End-range shoulder-circles
THE WHAT:
A highly accessible and multi-purpose context for shoulder prehabilitation (so shit doesn't happen), rehabilitation (when shit has happened), range-development, end-range stabilization, building "neural drive" in the scapular musculature (i.e. allowing for maximal contractions to put th... -
Deficit prone shoulder-dislocation
THE WHAT & HOW:
A 'deficit' variation of the classic 'Prone shoulder-dislocation' which permits a slightly increased overhead range-of-motion (ROM) for, particularly when using a weight-plate on the stick for the floor-version which can often reduce ROM/cause you to "relax" in the bottom position...
