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

@californiaStrength im recovering from a dislocated shoulder would these
exercises be good for the rehab?
gdartfrog says
can u do how over head press vdo and mobility for them
misteres says
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?
Royal Thurston says
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
John Cocksmith says
I cannot do the squat and over head press…any thoughts?
thesimplestoic says

Mike Kiske says

Dylan Tate says
It might be your shoulder/scapular position
thegarbageman21 says
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.
adsf says
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.
GibsonSlayer says
How many times would you recommend doing these exercises a week?
TJ McGrath says
SO how many times per week could you do this exercise? Is it possible to do
it before every snatch and/or jerk workout ?
ungke1 says

JulianAFF says
The breathing going on in the background is pretty ominous. It has a
creepy/rapey vibe to it xD

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.
Jakob says
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?
iPlayahead says

Matt Williams says

Antonio Castañeda says

Kenjamin says
Starting my snatches this week .. Gonna be BOSS!!
Crispy C says
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?
taekler says
Why don’t you use a pronated grip on the band exercise?
Patrick Sheldon says
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?
Skedaren says
How often? Every day?

MrOnionCock says
Is this a joke? This is absolutely ridiculous.
fuckyourself86 says
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.
