Rotational Development - Key Positions (Hips + Shoulders)

Coach
Logan Barrett

A 4-week program for Rotational Development focusing on accessing hip to shoulder separation and the ability to rotate into your front hip. This program is ideal towards the beginning of an off-season to re-introduce rotational training, as a Level 2 Rotational Development plan to our 101 program, or for generally tight rotators that need access and control of deeper ranges of motion.

If you already have a lifting program but are missing the development of the Primary Movement Pattern of your sport, this is a great add-on. Continue your lifting program and add this as the first circuit of your session.

This would also work great at the field, court, or course with bands and med balls to make sure you are improving your rotational power, speed, and positions outside of traditional lifting.

FAQs
Is this a stand alone program?
This can be done in the bullpen, on the court, or at the range prior to sport practice. It is best used as an addition to normal strength training as a rotational movement pattern focus.
What should I do in addition to this program?
I would recommended using our full program for rotational athletes. In addition to Rotational Development, your training should also focus on Lower Body Force and Structural Support for the performance and health needs of your sport.
