I’ve been rehabbing some old injuries for about 9months. This channel has been a very valuable resource. Since progress isn’t linear, the timing of this video is very good for me. Thank you.

[ScottHall-zfkk]

I've been a trainer for 40 years. You did a GREAT job explaining that brother.

[lecei]

Really appreciate. I’ve been suffering from poor shoulder mobility for long times. This video is helpful!

[JackSloan]

So good man, please do one of these for external shoulder rotation!

[VenusVariation]

[jubyloo]

[SergeKamga-sb]

Awesome. I need this. Can you also make a video about increasing shoulder external rotation?

[eoin]

This is the video I needed. Thanks again as always Aaron

[themenace]

did the cross body stretch. Instant relief. Amazing

[aikatheshibainu]

My fysio showed me an stretch for internal rotation: back and shoulders straight, get the arm behind your back and slowly bring the elbow closer to your body with keeping your shoulders straight.

[Elliemanriquegonzalez]

This was a wonderful explanation and exercise—thank you!

Fucked up my right shoulder somehow while DB squatting. Had crazy impingement despite doing shoulder rotation warm-ups before every workout. Those across the body stretches somehow just eased up absolutely all the pain I was feeling!

Thank you Aaron for the well explained and useful content.
I've been following your videos to improve my ankles and hip mobility and are getting better. Now trying to perform Single Arm Kb Overhead Squat im having lots of mobility problems in the upper body. As i have not seen a video about it, maybe is a good topic for you to investigate.
Thank you for your time and altruistic effort.
