1/2 Kneeling Windmill
This is one of my favorite exercises to do when working someone with shoulder pain back into lifting overhead.
It combines overhead stability with trunk movement, making it all about coordination as well as strength.
Lots of times we focus heavily on the starting positions when trying to lift. However, it’s important to be able to maintain a nice overhead, finishing position comfortably before working your way up in weights.
Being able to have that overhead mobility while you move requires a certain amount of scapular control that we rarely focus on.
