Want to finally squat ass to grass without feeling like your hips or upper back are made of concrete?
Or maybe you’re tired of feeling tight and restricted every time you try to hold a barbell overhead?
This 3-hour workshop is designed to unlock your strength and mobility where it matters most your squat and thoracic spine.
Here’s what to expect:
🧠 Hour 1: Learn the anatomy, mobility principles, and key mechanics behind deep, strong squats and a mobile upper back.
💪 Hour 2: Get hands on! We’ll go through a practical session full of drills, progressions, and loaded mobility work suitable for all levels (even if you’re stiff as a board).
🥗 Break Time: We’ll take a short lunch break midway with healthy snacks and refreshments provided.
🎥 Bonus: The entire workshop will be recorded, and every participant will receive a copy of the recording and an exercise list to keep training after.
Can’t make it in person? No problem you can still sign up to get the full recording + exercise list so it feels like you were right there with us.
Start your Swole & Flexy journey and experience what real, functional mobility feels like.
Overhead Mobility Workshop
You know something’s off… but you’re not sure what.
You stretch, foam roll, band pull-apart—yet nothing seems to unlock that clean, stable overhead position.
Sound familiar?
Whether you're a coach confused about how to actually improve overhead mobility—or you've got clients stuck in shoulder purgatory—this workshop is your fix.
Part 1: Shoulder Mobility Demystified
Forget fluff. We’re starting with a high-level breakdown of:
The real anatomy and biomechanics behind overhead range
Why common mobility “hacks” don’t work (and what actually does)
The difference between movement prep vs mobility development
How to strategically program mobility so it translates to performance
Whether you coach snatches, presses, handstands, or hanging work—you’ll leave with clarity and a system.
Part 2: Applied Training That Hits Different
Now it’s time to get moving.
Expect:
End-range isometrics for shoulder stability
Thoracic and scapular isolation exercises
Strength based mobility drills (loaded + bodyweight)
Hands on coaching and movement practice
These are the same principles used by high-level strength & mobility athletes and you’ll feel why they work instantly.
Plus: All participants get a recording of the full workshop to review and apply anytime.
Who it’s for:
Coaches and personal trainers who want to stop guessing and start programming shoulder mobility that actually works
Athletes and movers who want to lift, press, or hang with freedom and control
Anyone who wants to elevate performance, not just raise their arms
This isn’t a stretch-and-hope session. It’s an actionable, high-performance upgrade for your shoulders.
Come ready to learn, move, and leave with tools you can use immediately.
