00:03 - 00:07This is Brent, President of B2C, and we're talking about resistance training
00:07 - 00:11progressions for the shoulder. The third exercise progression in our relative
00:11 - 00:15flexibility progression is the overhead shoulder press. So I'm going to have Salvina
00:15 - 00:19come out to demonstrate an overhead press. Now we do have little micro
00:19 - 00:23progressions for low relative flexibility here. As we're taking care of
00:23 - 00:27the last remnants of upper body dysfunction, we can go ahead and start
00:27 - 00:30with the over head press, but we are going to start with a sagittal plane
00:30 - 00:34overhead press. So I'm going to have Salvina start with the weights right at shoulder
00:34 - 00:38level, her elbows are going to stay underneath her wrists here, and she's
00:38 - 00:43going to press straight up finishing with palms forward. Now, note the kinetic chain
00:43 - 00:47check points are the same as every other exercise. Her feet are parallel, her knees are
00:47 - 00:53over feet, her knees are underneath her hips, she's tucked under, drawn-in. Now, as
00:53 - 01:01our flexibility improves we can go to a frontal plane shoulder press.
01:01 - 01:05Now, at this point somebody is going to have to have optimal neural
01:05 - 01:11muscular control, stability, and flexibility of the upper body. We can
01:11 - 01:17then increase in complexity by going to a curl and press. One of my favorite
01:17 - 01:22shoulder exercises, one of my favorite upper body exercises, and then we can go
01:22 - 01:27through our standard stability progressions which is, lower body would
01:27 - 01:31be from two legs to one leg,
01:34 - 01:39and then, of course, go two legs unstable, one leg unstable. We can do our alternating
01:39 - 01:42arms. Make sure they stay drawn-in, there's no
01:47 - 01:51leaning no tilting. And then we can go to a unilateral.
01:55 - 01:59In a unilateral shoulder press be very careful with individuals, they like to tilt,
01:59 - 02:02they like to lean. Very nice.
02:04 - 02:06Thank you.
