The Old School Shoulder Mobility Test (THE TRUTH TELLER!)

 😃 Do you remember doing this test as a kid?

Most children find this task easy. Sadly, most adults do NOT.

What about you – can you still do it?

Take 30 seconds and see how you measure up!

🤓 How did you score?

  • Excellent = Fingers overlap
  • Good = Fingers touch
  • Average = Fingers are less than two inches apart
  • Poor = Fingers are more than two inches apart

How did you do? Did you find any side-to-side differences?

This test has real-world implications for your pain and athletic performance. Especially for squats, presses, and overhead movements.

🏆 To "ace" this test you need:

  1. Excellent shoulder flexion + tricep flexibility of the top arm
  2. Excellent shoulder extension + internal rotation of the bottom arm.

If you scored anything less than excellent, check out today's video!👇
