Hi,
Today I did my 4:th session in thoracic bridge stretch.
It feels like the exercices are very good for me except the ones mentioned below.
I get discomfort in the front of the shoulders in TBSSE 16,17, 19 and 21. I can do 16 and 17 for 10-20 sek with some discomfort (near pain) but it feels like my shoulders are not in balance and I need to build them up.
Some info of my strength and mobility:
-Having lifted weights for 25 years
-I miss shoulder extension, shoulderwidth I have about 30-45degrees
-Shoulder flexion is "ok", 165 degrees, with straight back.
-Thoracic spine mobility is bad
-Very bad in doing dislocates, need a very very wide grip to be able to make it without discomfort in front of the shoulders.
-I can do deep bodyweight dips without any problem
-I have the strength also to do ropeclimbing without feets.
Today I did instead of TBSSE 16,17, 19 and 21, Xiaopengs with 2,5 kg whih feels very good for the area in front of the shoulders, I also dit dislocates, shoulder extension and rotator-cuff mobility/strengthening.
My idea is to go slow and painfree and wait with these exercises until I feel ready to avoid getting hurt. I belive my prime movers in my upper body is out of balance with the smaller stabilizing muscles which I have to build.
Do yuo think my approach is ok?
Do you have any specific tips instead of TBSSE 16,17, 19 and 21?
