Invincible Shoulders Tutorial | Shoulder Mechanics, Mobility and Prehab for Calisthenics

[@yvguo]

Went off the top of the dome rather than a script for this one, so here are some additional notes: - I didn’t mention overuse injuries, which I will go into more detail in future videos, but these are also incredibly common and can occur as a result of frequent overtraining, without any sudden “slip” or trauma. Overuse injuries occur mainly due to overtraining and repetitive movement, and my solution for this is to decrease training frequency. - This is meant to be used as “prehab,” or prevention of injury. However, “rehab” or injury recovery (for injuries that don’t require surgery) involves a similar process of gradually progressing your flexibility, mobility, strength, and pain level back to normal - as an injury causes an immediate reduction in mobility and strength. I would use the same exercises shown in the video to assess my progress. - A point I wanted to address that was brought up by @hybridfunction5517: In the video I said that muscles are “weaker” in a maximally lengthened position, which is true, but it is actually “weakest” in a maximally contracted/shortened position. Since this is for injury prevention which is more common at lengthened ranges, I didn’t go too into detail for this explanation. In the end, the strongest range of the muscle is in its mid-range or normal range of use for most people (strength usually follows a normal bell curve distribution).

[@Themissinglink65]

Amazing video, yvugo you are the only channel (and Leo Wang but to a lesser extent) that has showed me the road map for calisthenics, I now understand the sport aspect of calisthenics and I aim to be an athlete like you one day. YOU truly are my hero. Many thanks, love you man❤

[@bejanghavami5585]

What he’s saying is so true, I used to flare out elbows and internally rotate my shoulders for push ups and dips not once did suffer from a shoulder injury and have been training for 7+ years on and off

[@ДокторЭвтаназия]

As a medical worker quite excited to hear such competent speech. Please, carry on

[@ciorc]

Hey yvguo, I have been watching since u had like what 11k subs or smth. I remember when I wanted to start calisthenics. I searched up youtube and found your video. It was really motivating and extremly helpful. Now I am a better person. Feeling better, Look better. I never thought of myself of being able to accomplish something like this but thanks to you, I'm healthier and more fit.

[@hjxflavor]

Thank you for making this video. I lost mobility due to the lack of using my left arm because of nerve damage I got from my time in the military. I recently started training and learned how much of a handicap my lack of mobility is causing so i have been stretching a lot to try to get mobility back and it has been a real challenge. This video was very helpful.

[@timmurphy1592]

coming back from a bad shoulder impingement i've reaggravated a couple times, I'm clear from PT so videos like this are areal godsend as I learn to change my fitness routine. Thank you so much, it means a lot.

[@uxxlabrute]

Very high quality content

[@counsellor_718]

v grateful for the reminder to not push beyond a 5/10 difficulty. This advice is so obvs that I think a lot of people just don't mention it but it's also something a lot of people often forget. As someone with decent flexibility, it's so easy to just push yourself to your max (as I often do and regret shortly after) and that's just not a smart way of doing it cuz it leads to longer recovery time and inconsistent training.

[@leorio446]

Thanks for the great videos man, keep them coming. I'm sure we all agree they are a blessing for the calisthenics community, we really need more great tutorials like yours!

[@mickathrimoson4308]

The only video I needed for a lifetime

[@LucasVegvary]

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t know how to do one corner of the stretches.

[@MrQuarts]

This is a goos tutorial. Well structured and explained. However, a muscle that is elongated is actually stronger than when shortened. A muscle will usually tear during sudden acceleration or deceleration. Which often happens at the lengthened portion of the movement. Still, the points you bring up to avoid injury are valid. Well done!

[@beachyricky]

Thank you for making such a great video for beginners. I love your channel. kudos for your efforts.

[@ordinarysweech]

Thank youuuu so much! 🌟

[@binacristal6267]

Your content is amazing! It's helping me w/ calisthenics a lot!!

[@coach.hybrid]

Great vid. Just one thing muscles are not weaker in their lengthened position, they are in fact stronger, and weaker / produce less force when shortened. the only reason the bottom part of a push up or dip or planche is harder is because of leverage. injuries usually happen in the lengthened position of the muscle because that's where the muscle produces the most force, thus creating higher tension in the tendon, which if not trained will cause it to snap. hope this cleared things up!

[@yvguo]

Great point about the tension on the tendons, I’ll address this in my pinned comment since more people need to hear this. In the video I said that muscles are “weaker” in a maximally lengthened position, which is true, but it is actually “weakest” in a maximally contracted/shortened position. Since this is for injury prevention which is more common at lengthened ranges, I didn’t go too into detail for this explanation. In the end, the strongest range of the muscle is in its mid-range or normal range of use for most people. Thanks for bringing this up, I’ll be sure to also explain this in my upcoming videos in this series.

[@kncalisthenix]

yo thanks for the vid man keep it up

[@89Valkyrie]

Brother...your explanations are golden. Thank you so much for this upload. I've been having shoulder issues when I try to lift weights (not directly involving the shoulders) and you have just explained what is wrong with my shoulders: they're too stiff, rounded, and there's little to no mobility. I'll start doing flexibility exercises first! Thanks a lot!
