➡️ SHOULDER STABILITY "ROTISSERIE" 🐔 PLANK ⬅️⠀
⠀
🔸THE PROBLEM🔸⠀
Planks are boring, or maybe you've got some #shouldermobility, weakness, #strength issues you'd want to improve.⠀
⠀
🔸THE FIX🔸⠀
The "Rotisserie" plank is great way to integrate core stability with closed-chain shoulder stabilization. Too often we're mobilizing and #strengthening in the open-chain while neglecting the shoulder's closed-chain function.⠀
⠀
Closed-chain think "#pullup" -- Open-chain think "lat pulldown."⠀
⠀
Fun fact: we first learn how to control shoulder rotation in the closed-chain at 5.5 months of age! #DNS 😱🤯😱🤯⠀
⠀
🔑👇:⠀
🔸Get into a solid plank position (number 43 in our feed) -- think butt-tucked, chin pulled in, and long through the #spine.⠀
🔸Breathe into your abdomen like inflating a balloon and try to maintain pressure throughout the respiratory (breathing) cycle.⠀
🔸Think about pulling the #exercising #shoulder blade down toward your back pocket, not letting the shoulder hike up into your ear.⠀
🔸 Keep the hand, elbow, and forearm flat on the ground.⠀
🔸 Resist twisting at the mid-section -- hips and #shoulders stay connected, turning as one unit. Pro tip: take the non-exercising arm and place it by your side, down the outside of your hip/thigh -- don't lose this contact as it's a tactile cue to know if you're twisting.⠀
⠀
🔸THE RESULT🔸⠀
2-for-1, more bang for your buck, killing a bunch of birds with a rock 😁...whatever phrase you want to use. ⠀
⠀
You get the benefit of planking's #corestability while challenging shoulder #stability and control all at the same time. You can't have one without the other, so why not upgrade your #plank while you're at, or add a change-up to plank see-saws, #planks stir-the-pot, plank reaches...you get the point!⠀
