Cleaning Up The Scap And Traps For Throwers

So yeah we did this move for 10x100 on each side, and another for 10x100 on both sides as well - 4000 moves in total

And as it relates to relearning how to move, the general thought is when you take such a simple move and do it over and over and over with a very specific intent in which you make corrections every time you’re not moving the way you intend, you can actually change how your body operates

For example

Let’s say in the move above the tendency is to drop the elbow and not keep it up at shoulder height

If the objective to keep it up at shoulder height isn’t there, then it’ll probs just drop and you won’t really notice that much

But if it is - if that as well as pulling cleanly from the backside while the elbow stays at 90 and while you stay above any type of fatigue or discomfort to actually keep aware enough to adjust around that the whole time

You’re going to learn how to use that musculature to do exactly that

And that’s what i mean by re-learning how to move

So then lets say you’re a thrower and you when you go to throw it just feels tight and messy around the trap and scap and lat area

Like there’s a bunch of gunk in there that makes it difficult to move the way you want

We apply these, as one example, and eventually you’re going to work through enough of the gunk that it clicks, and you can actually move more cleanly because the muscles that are fighting each other to make it gunky release, and do what they’re supposed to do

And reason for the high reps is very simply that it takes that to create that type of change

Do 1 or 2 of them and it’s probs not going to do much

Not all work needs to be like this. It when it comes to being able to crisply move and very cleanly apply all the force you’ve learned to create, haven’t found anything better
