Unlocking Performance from the Ground Up Pt. 3: Shoulders

Athlete performing shoulder extension and chest opener drill at Training Aspects to improve shoulder mobility and posture.

Healthy shoulders aren’t just about having loose, flexible joints or being able to bench a lot of weight. It’s about the small muscles that stabilize the joint, the scapular control that supports your movements, and the ability to move freely without sacrificing strength or tension. When your shoulders are strong and stable, you can train harder, move smoother, and protect yourself from unexpected, overuse injuries.

The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body which is both its biggest strength and greatest weakness. From pushing and pulling to throwing, reaching, or bracing during impact, the shoulder is involved in almost everything. But without the right balance of mobility, stability, and muscular support, it’s also one of the most injury prone areas in training and sport. Whether you’re an athlete or just someone trying to stay strong and move well, your shoulders need just as much attention as your hips and ankles.

Here are 5 TA approved shoulder exercises that build joint health from all angles. These movements help support everyday activity and high level performance alike, while keeping your shoulders pain free and moving well:
