Overview
In this lesson, we explore shoulder flexion end range conditioning through axials, hovers, passive range holds, and lift-offs.

The result is stronger, more resilient shoulders for handstands, overhead lifts, or any movement that asks your arms to go fully vertical. If you teach or work with clients, you'll gain specific tools for programming end-range strength work that reduces injury risk and builds confidence in overhead positions.
Axials:
Hovers:
