How to Fix Uneven Shoulders | Balancing The Upper Traps & Lats

would love a part 2! Hopefully my little story catches your eye! I'm 27 and currently playing rec softball, but played baseball from 4-22 years old. 90% of that time I was behind the dish as a catcher. I've had a few injuries, right rotator cuff tear, separated right AC joint (from terrible bench press form), and herniated L5. I'm getting back into lifting again after those injuries and really want to focus on the fundamentals of proper mechanics to avoid more problems. growing up and even now, I always had a high left shoulder, strength imbalances in my legs from the ground up (ankles, calves, hamstrings, quads, glutes), rotation issues, the list goes on. Now that I'm researching into all these issues I've been struggling with where to start, instead of having maybe 1,2, or 3 areas of focus, I think the problem is my whole body starting from the ground up. Baseball is a very one sided movement sport, I throw with my right, I swing right handed. Even more so being a catcher, constantly in multiple squat positions, the right foot is slightly behind the left when runners are on base (helps set you up for faster pop times). Catchers have heavier gloves, add in the squat position and framing pitches for hours a day catching bullpens while my right arm is behind the body for protection. I feel like that alone is responsible for my high left side and low right side. Watching the last part of the video has really got me interested in the bigger picture, because the bigger picture is what I need to understand so I can actually get big and not hurt myself lol I appreciate your video and all the work you put into this, It really helps those of us who are struggling to fix the one body we get!

Looking forward to the 2nd part video. Please make it! Just did some stretches from this video on the shoulder and it's more flexible and loose than before. Thank you bro.

Yes, I'd love to see part 2! Thank you!

Great video, would love part 2.

Yes would really appreciate Part 2 thanks!

Part 2 please! Great video!

Yes please please make a part 2 for addressing the issues from feet up!!

I definitely need a part 2. Please make it

Yes, part 2 please!

I don’t know what to make of this but your past few videos have been exactly what I’m experiencing lmao. Thank you bro

The arm pull behind and neck stretch helped me immediately. Ive been doing side stretches for years and I've never felt a release like this. I've been feeling alot of tension in my serratus anterior and I believe my erector spine too. Left lat, trap, glute, and leg still need to get evened out tho 👌

yes... please! flat foot video and thanks so much for your great content!

Yes on the video. I am working on my imbalances and it is clear that it begins in my feet. I am working them regularly now.

Yes I`D LIKE YOU WATCH 2ND PART OF THIS VDEO

I am a side sleeper. I think this contributes to lengthening in the back and shortening in the front of the shoulder, and results in a persistent weirdness that impinges certain shoulder movements and a ratcheting effective/clicking in clavicles. Have you thought about a short video to provide shoulder/hip/back tips for different sleeping orientations?

I would love the part 2 to this. Really interested in the biomechanics and I've realized today that this is an issue for me. I always have had a tight right shoulder/neck and flat left foot, and now causing knee issues. Maybe this is exactly what's going on. Interesting how something wrong on the left side can actually be the cause of problems on the right side.

Part two please!!

Very informative, thank you. I do a lot of pull ups and maybe not enough stretching and also leveling my body out with some sort of trap exercises?

my hips are beyond fucked. Thanks for this Blake.

As I watched till the end, I smiled...because I know why FB algorithm recommended this video to me. Would love a part 2.
