Hi.
I injured my knees so during physical therapy I switched to training upper body.
I am currently training for (1) hanging leg raise, and (2) tactical pullups.
Currently, I do as follows a few times a week, with 6 reps of the following
I have noticed after a few months of this that my shoulders, upper back, biceps, triceps, and neck have tightened up.
In particular, my biceps are the worst. When I try to do an active hang for the pullup, bringing my shoulders up makes it feel like I am being stabbed in the biceps.
Is there a set of recommended standard mobility/stretches exercises that is necessary to do when performing so much hanging with one should shoulders?
Thank you.
Ilya
