Hello everyone. I re-began working out about last June(after basically many years off) as I lost 20lbs after lockdown and wanted to get strong. I am 65yo, 5'7 and 163 now. I have access to my kettlebells in 35, 50 and a single 70 (I have a 100 too which I got for a hundred bucks and can...

Hi there, my shoulder mobility is quite fine in general. But when I get to kneeling and standing in TGU and I try to pack my left shoulder I feel a deep pinching inside my shoulder, probably at the acromion. I think it's some kind of impingement. Same with active hangs or nonweighted work. It's...

Every time I do inverted or bent over rows I experience some discomfort in the anterior shoulder area (and often elbows too). There are some coaches who advocate using limited ROM so that the elbows don't drift behind the body, but most lifters pull the bar until it touches the chest/stomach...

O.K. I just finished my shoulder rehab and realized that my first SFG cert is in less than 7 months. So I tested myself and it isn´t as bad as I thought. I can comfortably pass the Get-up portion of Simple standards and I am really close to pass in swings as well. The question is...Now what? My...
