#132 - Building Better Strength Overhead Through Understanding Shoulder Anatomy And Function

In today's Iron Sights podcast, I'm joined by Cece and Ryan to discuss strategies for building greater overhead strength, particularly coming from the shoulders. We cover a range of topics, including shoulder mechanics, anatomy, factors limiting overhead strength, and effective solutions. We also talk about specific exercises, movement patterns, what to avoid, and how to enhance shoulder training without causing harm. Hopefully we provide something that will equip you with tools you can take to your workouts immediately.Timestamps00:00 Intro04:38 Shoulder Stuff07:19 Building Shoulder Overhead Movement And Strength09:14 Shoulder Pain And It's Reasons16:52 Shoulder Movement And Balance20:10 Clients Starting Their Fitness Program29:21 Things To Think About When Going Overhead39:38 Approaching Shoulder Mobility And Loading Weight Overhead46:58 Another Way To Get Hypertrophy With Shoulder Position57:50 Increasing Stability With Shoulder Blades01:07:01 Approaching The Mobility Soft-Tissue Application01:10:16 Different Programs To Increase Your Shoulder StrengthRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/More Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394s
