When most people think about shoulder mobility in the low bar squat, they immediately think about shoulder external rotation. Which is for good reason, that is a major component of what allows us to get into the low bar rack position. But a very underrated aspect of shoulder mobility in the low bar squat is shoulder extension. In this YouTube video, we take a look at what is shoulder extension and the roles it plays within the low bar squat. We dive into how shoulder extension directly works hand in hand with shoulder external rotation, and how improved shoulder extension capabilities allows us greater access to relative degrees of shoulder external rotation. And lastly, I give 3 examples of each of pre workout and accessory movements you can program to be able to improve your ability to access end range shoulder extension and build strength and resiliency in that position.
