Marios Roussos Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hey guys, I'm one of the "zombies" who can't lift his arms overhead or perform a wall slide past 90 degrees (i.e. the starting position). I'm currently working on F1 and H1 (I'm at HS/PE1>iM and will be for a long time). My question is whether these programs will eventually fix my scapular mobility issues with time, or whether I should be working wall slides in addition to the F1 and H1 mobility drills. I'm not in a rush, so if the foundation and handstand series will eventually address my scapular mobility issues, I'm happy to just keep plodding along as I am, but if they don't, I'd like to know whether I should be adding wall slides to my routine at this stage.

Joshua Slocum Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Many of the F1 and H1 mobility drills will indeed help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua Slocum Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks Hari, that's nice to hear; I hate wall slides I'd recommend sticking with wall slides. They are really good exercises . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kutay Serova Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Is the correct way to perform wall slides with open shoulders, scapulas touching the wall, chest tucked and lower back flat (like handstand form) or is the back allowed to arch and the chest untucked?

Karri Kytömaa Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It really wouldn't hurt to (try) do a couple of wall slides at end of each of your workouts. It's not much additional work and will definitely speed up the process. Remember you also have easier variations where you are lying on floor, maybe even with weight in the hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinom Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 -MR try the floor slides instead. Have been at them for some weeks now, and they are doing wonders. I'm still not close to the starting position of the wall slides, but getting there slowly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
