Shoulder dislocates exercise (if its called that)

[Tennisgolfboll]

Found some video about using a broom stick and with locked elbows holding it and then rotate arms from your chest to your back.

I tried it today and it felt pretty good as a stretch/recovery or something like that.

So is this a real thing? Anyone heard about it? Anyone used it for some time?

Yup

Anyone heard about it?

Everybody but you, apparently

Anyone used it for some time?

I haven't done them as regularly as I probably should. If you need to "do mobility" for your shoulders, they're definitely a candidate to include on your list.

Yea, I've heard of it and that's what they're called. I've used it before, but really just to warm up for snatches or some other things. I've recently shelved most mobility work though because I haven't needed it.

[Nick Klemetson]

I used to do them every time before squatting. Now it's no longer necessary.

Nice.
So they increase mobility to stop impingement or add blood flow or what?

It's a stretch. They stretch things.

Excellent, they felt good but ive only done it a single time so i could not draw any conclusion. I had this stiff feeling when laykng on my back and clasping my hands behind my neck, it was gone after doing it.

I think i could use more of them.

Is the idea to narrow your grip with them over time or just do them?

You think i had impingement if it went away from using them or do you think i was just stiff? (Is there a difference? )

Impingement and stiffness are two different things. You may have had pain as a result from impingement and the increased blood flow from playing around with the broomstick helped move some blood through the area, but I really have absolutely no way of even taking an educated guess from here.

How does one tell the difference?
