    Cody,

    Thank you! That was a WEALTH of info and I think I will try out your mob stuff in order 🙂
    Answering questions:
    1) yes, the pain is NOT deep, feels like it’s in the front of shoulder;
    2) used to sleep on my back, but in the last year I sleep on my side… can’t believe that sleeping on my side may be the #1 problem, but sometimes I awake because of the shoulder pain, BECAUSE I am sleeping on my shoulder. Don’t know why I even started but I need to force my sleepy self to stop <— tricky;
    3) oddly, I can bench press too, never a problem, never pain. even incline ring push-ups hurt sometimes… so I just need to go back to 1 hour of mobility & see what happens.

    I do almost all of the mobs you do, but not in that order, so I’ll try it out & watch all the vids that you & Kaitlin posted. Again, thank you both!!
    I’ll check back in next week-end with an update 😀 Thank you!!

    Tired is not the issue, since this is a recurring problem, not just today. The wods & my training are always different. Ands yup, the elbows are pinned against my body. If I don’t do that, I can’t do the movement at all. Pinned = I can do the movement for several reps until the pain stops me.

    I am going to diligently keep trying to figure it out 🙂

    T-spine- yes, always open it up 1st, def not the issue.

    Positive my position is correct, based off Kelly’s book for both movements.
    And yes, the pain tells me something is wrong, that’s why I am here asking for help 😀
    Update: today’s 1st wod had 2 deadhang pull-ups on the 1st min and then HSPU (3 strict + 3 kipping) on the 2nd minute for 20 min… NO PROBLEM. NO PAIN. 2nd wod: death by TTB, with a 5 Push-up buy-in before TTB. MOST painful shit ever!! Only did 2 rds, that’s a total of 10 push-ups & 3 TTB. Shoulders (mostly left) were not having any of it. Went for an 800m run instead.

    Thank you Cody & Kaitlin!!

    I am missing internal rotation and my shoulders are rolled forward. Pretty sure my shoulder capsule is forward but I can’t seem to set it back. I’ve done the sink, banded bully, triple bully, smashing the hell out of my pecs (15 years with implants & not paying attention to posture, I think has led me to where I am now), & kettlebell overhead to try to reset the shoulder capsule (and many many others).

    I am loading in order, but it’s still painful, less painful than when I don’t load-order (& just jump in). I’ve got the SP book and am following the info in there, so I know my set-up is perfect…

    Thanks Cody for confirming that it’s missing internal rotation & extension!! I think I have done every shoulder mob Kelly has posted or listed!! I will go over all the links Kaitlin posted to be certain I didn’t miss anything. So frustrating to NOT be able to do simple shit but able to do complex shit! Dipping out of a MU doesn’t cause the pain I get from JUST ring dips. I feel retarded!

    Thanks again, it’s a great start!
