ParticipantHey I’ve been through more or less the same with you, I posted on here a while ago, I had pain also when hanging from a bar, so its been a long time since i have done a single pull up. What really seems to help me and it seems to be my biggest problem is shoulder extension especially on my right side, even more when coupled with internal rotation which is lost with a lot of this bad t spine movement. Now if you as I have really worked on the T spine movement, you will see that you will hit a plateau, that is when you should hit the shoulder extension, I use a rogue green band, loop it and pass it around my shoulder, take a few steps forward, and then slowly start moving my arm behind my back, and then with that extending it and lowering my position so that there is more of a vertical pull on my shoulder. Couple that with a little rotation of the neck away and you may find some new areas to free.
Good luck!Hagop Giragossian
ParticipantHey,
So I have been working on the different mobs, got a gemini (its amazing) and what I’ve noticed is that the most beneficial mob is setting the shoulder one, with the kettlebell and with distraction. What I must point out is that I don’t feel real pain in anything other than that underarm area.Where I really feel intense discomfort is on my legs. Especially my quad/hip flexor and my calves. This brings up my question: could muscular issues stemming from the lower body cause problems on the upper body? I always focused so much on my upper body due to the discomfort that I never really payed any attention to any issues lower, and they seems to have grown.Hagop Giragossian
ParticipantOk thanks well, I the shoulder still wings on the push up so I guess I have some room for improvement thanks for all the help.

ParticipantI am working on both sides but I have definitely put more into my right side.
Fact is that the only really painful thing is attempting to stretch my levator, and mobilising my calfs which I doubt has anything to do with my general issues.My question is when to start lets say trying a push up? When the mobility is there totally or before already?Hagop Giragossian
ParticipantI have hit traps quite a bit, delta so and so. The funny thing is I’m under the impression, that even though my problems are felt on my right side, it seems like the when i mobilise etc my left side to have more sensitive points. Is it possible for the left side to cause problems on the right???

ParticipantOk great, so like t-spine, pec minor, and ribs 1 session, 2nd, posterior shoulder mobs, band, kettle bell, and some subscap work ??? gotta throw the neck tissue mobs there too.
That 1st rib I think is causing some problems, but how about the strengthening part of it.I mean you know the scap winging, I’ve done a lot of different things, Im wondering what to keep and what to throw away.Hagop Giragossian
ParticipantI watched the remaining episodes and I have been doing most of the mobs(as I already have the supple leopard book) for around a week or so, today i added a couple more. I do 1 session a day and sometimes 2 when addressing the lower body too.
Thank youHagop Giragossian
ParticipantHey thanks for the vids I have seen some of them already will see the rest too.
The numbness was resolved, I have not experienced any for 2 years maybe. The weakness has been resolved to a certain point, however I still have an issue when executing push ups and pull ups are out of the question due to the pain mentioned. Bending my head towards the left armpit causes pain also if exaggerated.I was wondering, how great is the relation between scapular positioning and core stability, cause i noticed than if I really brace hard, like 75-80% when retreating the shoulder it does not wing really, without load. -
