Shoulder Stability & Scapular Mobility Exercises

January 18, 2017 by warrioradmin 38 Comments


California Strength Head Strength Coach, Ernie Hernandez, talks about some exercises we use to improve shoulder stability and scapular mobility with our athletes. Exercises covered include band pull-aparts, the Sotts press, the YTW, and the kneeling kettlebell press. Demonstrations of each exercise are performed by Scott Hisaka.

    Do you limit overhead lifting (pressings, snatching, etc.) for baseball
    athletes? I know some strength coaches do. Thanks

    When I overhead squat it has been commented that the bar slopes downwards
    from left to right. My hands are right out at the collars of the bar so I
    am unable to move them out any further. I have searched on the internet as
    to what needs to be done to correct this but have found nothing to explain
    what the issue is. Any ideas?

    Man I have no balance when doing overhead. I have my feet spread at a good
    position and squat low. Then I always fall over

    It might be your shoulder/scapular position

    Out of curiosity do you guys at california strength work with physicians at
    all? Combining your knowledge with that of a sports doc could really make a
    great team.

    Do you really want to do the Y exercise? I was told that developing the
    supraspinatus is bad because it increases the risk of impingement.

    SO how many times per week could you do this exercise? Is it possible to do
    it before every snatch and/or jerk workout ?

    I have been working hard on my snatch form. I have a permanent shoulder
    injury, and my should pops out of socket on certain rotations and
    movements. I need to head down there and make an appt with you guys for
    training. I am a couple hours away in the High Desert.

    is this all about prehab before working out or can this also be used to
    improve the rhomboids and improve posture? in that case, shouldn’t I push
    these small muscles hard then? like YTW, every movement 3×15 for example?
    get some burn. I don’t really get how to incorporate this. Isn’t these
    exercises meant to improve on your posture rather than just warm up?

    I wouldnt say i feel pain in my shoulders but something weird is happening
    thats for sure. I feels like my shoulders are moving around like there un
    stable and it feels like i could easily pull my shoulders. What is wrong?
    Shoulder stability/scapular mobility?

    Why don’t you use a pronated grip on the band exercise?

    Was trying to do the presses from the bottom of the squat position, and
    some overhead squats (unloaded bar). All seemed good until one rep where I
    lost stability, except in external shoulder rotation, bar dropped down
    behind me down to my ass. Luckily my shoulder mobility is good and didn’t
    cause any pain or anything, but I know under load that’d be catastrophic
    and I should probably learn to bail safely. Will some of these stability &
    mobility exercises still be good to prevent that, or should I add something
    else?

    The second one is a press in snatch. The sots press is done with a clean
    grip. The best exercise for bottom position posture for the clean and squat
    jerk.
