Walk before

Our shoulders are built for complex movement.  If they are fed a healthy dose of movement variety on a regular basis, they’ll be healthy.  Unfortunately, many of us find ourselves using them for repetitive movement (or lack there of) more often than might be ideal.  Fortunately, very simple things (done regularly) can do wonders for improving our shoulder health and function.  Our prep for the muscle ups/ chest to bar pull ups will be centered around hanging.  Simple enough, yet we could all use more of it.  Looking to do a bar muscle up?  Spend more time hanging in more ways.  It doesn’t have to be the hardest thing you’ve ever done for it to be useful.  In this case, 5-10 minutes a day of time connecting to your world through your shoulders instead of your feet (or butt) will make significant changes in a matter of weeks.
