How do people feel about these?

There's supposed to be a video here.  Anyone else having problems with this?

There is a video here. I see it no problem.

Oh, so it's just me then....

Should be noted that I am on the iphone.

I've used them in the past with a kettlebell, they're pretty good for overall shoulder health, but they don't give incredible ROM - unless your starting point is really bad.

Wrestlers often use this exercise for conditioning of shoulders and arms. As a part of a circuit, it can really fry your traps. I wonder how heavy dislocates compare to this.

There is no comparison.

Not alone. It seems to be an issue with the new Firefox update...at least that's my best answer.

Looks like that. I can't see the video now that I am on the computer. Firefox.

Chrome and I can see no video.

I opened a ticket with cory back when I first started this thread, but he hasn't got back to me yet.

Works for me with FireFox 25.0.

Perhaps it's an add on...hmm. Thanks for the next clue.

Thanks for the note, working on this.

Seems to be fixed now.  Thanks.

Okay now that we have video posting issues out of the way, anyone feel like chiming in on the exercise itself?

Dissimilar exercises.

I'm not looking at this exercise in mobility / functional ROM terms, more like strengthening from unusual angles.  I think too much of training is focused on movements in a single plane of motion.  Something makes me thing this would make a fantastic warmup for the shoulders before beginning focused work...

It is a good warm up exercise.

Start light.
