Ever since I heard Pavel talk about prying goblet squats for hip ROM, I've been all about them. I read one thread here that was talking about using the bell as a counterbalance, and as I think about that, I realize that your goal probably should be doing the PGS with lighter to no weight for maximum flexibility. But that's not what I want to figure out right now, as the PGS has helped me immensely & QUICKLY for opening up my hip flexion for squats in general. It's a great tool for those of us with horrible flexibility issues. But what about the shoulders?
I have some pretty bad shoulder flexibility (years of poor posture plus a dislocated shoulder in high school that was never rehabbed properly). As a result, over head presses are a pain, and in general, things aren't great if I want to get a snatch done right. I'm wondering if there's a single exercise for the shoulders that skyrockets flexibility like the prying goblet squat does for your hips.
All thoughts on the matter are appreciated. I'm doing some shoulder mobility work with a band and long stick right now, and while I think it's on the right track, I have a feeling there's something more out there.
