042 : 005 The Quest for The Hyper Trophy S5E2

On to the upper body. These two sessions back to back are some of the most potent that I’ve felt, specifically for the shoulders. Sam wrote the strength endurance session using a movement that I wanted to progress (single-side BB press) and I wrote the conditioning piece the next day based on how bad I already felt. The partner-assisted CAR and PAIL/RAIl are one of the only ways that I’ve found that reliably teach the foundation for FRC. It is good for both people because the person helping learns how to cue and orient the joint and the person doing the work cannot escape a real range of motion. However, it may not be feasible in which case, use whatever method you have available. We are hoping to do a video demo of this soon and I will come back here and leave a link.
