Dealing with TIGHT and PAINFUL shoulders that won't loosen up no matter how much you stretch?

That's because stretching alone isn't enough to fix the issue.

Let me help you make real improvements with an EFFECTIVE mobility program built on methods that actually work!

You see, tight muscles are often weak muscles. Stretching them out may give you temporary relief, but it doesn't fix the actual problem.

This program takes advantage of the Smash, Lengthen, & Strengthen methodology that is proven to unlock your shoulders and then build up the muscles so you can enjoy a PERMANENT improvement to your range of motion.

Each session should take no more than 15-20 minutes and will leave your shoulders feeling supple and limber!

I use these very same methods to help my athletes get back to pressing major weight without nagging shoulder injuries.

Now you get to take advantage of the same strategies to improve your shoulders too!

FAQs
Who is this program meant for?
This program is designed to help lifters improve their shoulder mobility. It will open up your joints and strengthen the muscles that are causing you to be tight which will allow you to move more efficiently in training and make better gains!
How long do these sessions last?
Each session should take no more than 15-20 minutes. They are not meant to be strenuous and exhausting. Rather, you will feel refreshed and more limber afterward. Sort of like a "vitamin" for your shoulders :)
What if I can't do some of the stretches/exercises?
Instructions are given on how to scale the movements to make them easier or harder depending on your needs. That way you get just as much out of it no matter what your ability level.
Do I need to be in the gym to complete these sessions?
Not at all. You can do these in the comfort of your home provided you have some bands, a foam roller, and some sort of weight (household items work too!) to scale the movements.
