Invincible Shoulders Tutorial | Shoulder Mechanics, Mobility and Prehab for Calisthenics

Went off the top of the dome rather than a script for this one, so here are some additional notes: - I didn’t mention overuse injuries, which I will go into more detail in future videos, but these are also incredibly common and can occur as a result of frequent overtraining, without any sudden “slip” or trauma. Overuse injuries occur mainly due to overtraining and repetitive movement, and my solution for this is to decrease training frequency. - This is meant to be used as “prehab,” or prevention of injury. However, “rehab” or injury recovery (for injuries that don’t require surgery) involves a similar process of gradually progressing your flexibility, mobility, strength, and pain level back to normal - as an injury causes an immediate reduction in mobility and strength. I would use the same exercises shown in the video to assess my progress. - A point I wanted to address that was brought up by @hybridfunction5517: In the video I said that muscles are “weaker” in a maximally lengthened position, which is true, but it is actually “weakest” in a maximally contracted/shortened position. Since this is for injury prevention which is more common at lengthened ranges, I didn’t go too into detail for this explanation. In the end, the strongest range of the muscle is in its mid-range or normal range of use for most people (strength usually follows a normal bell curve distribution).

Your level of content is uncomparable with other calisthenics youtubers/athletes. Keep it up.

As a 63 year young bodybuilder, this content & level of knowledge is mind-blowing & I ​clearly have a lot to learn & unlearn! Outstanding content brilliantly delivered. Many thanks. 💯👍

Criminally underrated. Straightforward and to the point which you don’t see often. Very informative while being easy to digest. Top tier.

You have no idea how much I wanted this. I've been training calisthenics recently and have been experiencing a lot of tightness and sometimes pain in my shoulders, and it's been the biggest limiter on my progress. Thank you so much yvguo!

This guy needs more support for the work he's doing Great vids

Amazing video, yvugo you are the only channel (and Leo Wang but to a lesser extent) that has showed me the road map for calisthenics, I now understand the sport aspect of calisthenics and I aim to be an athlete like you one day. YOU truly are my hero. Many thanks, love you man❤

Nice one! Can't wait for a more detailed video on pull ups and weighted calisthenics!

appreciate the level of effort you put into this... much appreciated

Not only is this a new fire channel for me but this is actually something i never thought of but really needed will be coming back to this channel often

This man giving us such amazing details and in depth. Im eternally grateful for reals man

This is probably one of the most important videos a calisthenic athlete can ever watch, thank you for sharing this

Bro this is golden information that everyone needs to know. So many preventable injuries with these concepts! You saved hundreds if not thousands of people from having to go get surgery. Thank you for sharing!

Great info presented in a clear, calm, and concise format. I need to get back to work on my shoulder mobility after having surgery a couple weeks ago, so i've found this at the right time.

Ive been doing calisthenics for 3 years and this is the video Ive been waiting to find for years. Thank you man

Thanks to your videos I have started implementing calisthenics and mobility work in my training. Thanks a lot for these great videos!

What he’s saying is so true, I used to flare out elbows and internally rotate my shoulders for push ups and dips not once did suffer from a shoulder injury and have been training for 7+ years on and off

Best athlete and a huge inspiration for us all, thanks yv 🔥
