A Simple Shoulder Warm-Up for Climbers

Hooper's Beta Ep. 9

Note:

This is one of our early videos, before we started writing in-depth show notes to accompany each one. As we get this website dialed in we’ll be adding references to research for videos like this that don’t yet have any.

Description:

In this episode we go over a quick shoulder warm up including 1 ultimate move and 3 additional moves to properly warm up and prime the shoulders for climbing.

Exercise 1: Bilateral External Rotation with Scapular Retraction

Exercise 2: Horizontal Abduction "Human T"

Exercise 3: D2 Flexion "Sword from Sheath"

Exercise 4: Dynamic scapular retraction "Band Angels"
