How to Plan Shoulder Work Safely
Light Springs Are Often Enough
Even a light spring challenges the small muscles around the shoulder. Progress through clean reps first.

Watch the Shoulder Blades
A short cue for the shoulder blades often changes the whole exercise. You'll find wording you can use on each exercise page.
