HS Shoulder Flex Form Check

Hey guys,

How is the form?

Thanks!

Check also the hands width from the front view, with more then shoulder width the position become easier.

Thanks Alessandro for the feedback, I'll check on that next session.

Another question:

Are we aiming for biceps to ears eventually on this one?

No, not necessary to have ears to arms.  Wider than shoulder width however is a definite no-go.

Great, thanks Coach!

Hi Coach, is shoulder width also correct for the Prone Band Pulls?

Not the same movement or loading mechanism.  Due to the tension and instability of the bands, these will tend to be narrower.

Why is that, Coach?

Because forced flexion with wider hands position is the starting point for shoulders luxation.

this link shows the worst extremism of wide forced shoulders flexion, it leads sooner or later to labrum tear.
