Can you Pass the Apley Scratch Test?? (Behind the Back Grab)

Описание к видео Can you Pass the Apley Scratch Test?? (Behind the Back Grab)

Get Started With Your Mobility: https://tommorrison.uk/products/the-s...

Can you touch your finger tips? Can you grab your fingers?! Or are you barely getting your hand up your back at all??

If you’re super-duper flexible you'll probably find a grab on each side easy! Yay! So you know to spend more time on shoulder stability exercises and more of our resistance bands and stability stuff 😏

If you have no hope at all.... well firstly take note if you have awesomely massive biceps or little short forearms... BUT ALSO do the exercises we give you in this video and see if you can make improvements!

Because your shoulders will love you for it 🙌

And if you have a glaringly obvious difference side to side, take note and spend more time with the variations on the harder sides to see can you balance things out! 💪🏼

Today we go through:
• Zenith Rotations (Interal & External)
To improve your upper back movement

• The Towel Stretch
To get that final bit of shoulder flexibility

Just with a little attention each week you’ll feel your shoulders being happier and more freedom of movement.

It's especially important if you have shoulder pain because…. Well, you shouldn’t have shoulder paint moving your shoulder! Opening your upper back is the first step in getting your shoulders pain free.

To be honest.... I do have a love/hate relationship with the Apley Scratch Test though:

One one hand, I'm a big fan of tests to check your flexibility level, so you know where you are, how to improve and to track progress.

But on the other hand... people can become super obsessed with tests, and unless you're majorly imbalanced, trying to improve this test doesn’t really have any major positive repercussions… 
So take this test as a bit of fun so you can see where you are at with it and you should do the exercises because they are just GOOD exercises you should be doing anyways to keep your shoulders happy and healthy! 

Let us know where you’re at in the comments and get stuck in to the exercises 😄
