Ita Sha Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hello! I started to attend gymnastics classes every Thursday which is awesome!The coach told me that I need to improve my active shoulder flexibility and that's has caused me to pay attention to this matter.This is me reaching overhead with my arms as much as I can: https://www.instagram.com/p/_RJaKPxE6g/?taken-by=itaman8.This pic has been taken right after H1+2 session, so when cold, my ROM won't be like that so much.. I'm doing TBs too, but I would like to add some specific work on active shoulder flexibility.I would love to hear some advices and tips about drills for active shoulder flexibility that I could put together and make an active shoulder flexibility session that I would do a couple of times per week, hoping that it'll get better. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Dano Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The first half of H1 is almost nothing but active shoulder mobility drills. I see you also mentioned you're doing elevated cat, which though it's not an active mobility drill, is an outstanding shoulder opener. When doing it outside of the T-bridge course, and working if for Handstand mobility, be extra careful not to let your ribs drop. Maintain a flat back and rotate the cat through the shoulders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the comment Cole!As suggested to me by Elevated GST the GB affiliate in Arizona I started doing the six first mobility elements in H1 (mastery sets, reps and weights)+elevated cat (which I know that when done for handstand, the back should stay flat), as my active shoulder mobility session which I think of doing 2-3 times a week. it is ok that I'm doing those mobility elements with the mastery sets, reps and weights 2-3 times a week or it is too much/less?
