Thinking in straight planes like shoulder flexion is misguided.
We need to think differently about how movements are achieved.
Shoulder flexion involves a great deal of shoulder rotation. If this rotation is not accounted for in the measurement, you’ll fail to succeed quickly and you may even select the wrong shoulder rehab exercises or strategy that you need to resolve your client’s issues.
Controlling shoulder rotation during your shoulder flexion measure and understanding the relative motions required for shoulder flexion makes all the difference.
If you don’t have a treatment table or someone to measure your shoulder flexion, I’ve included a simple shoulder flexion self-test you can use to gauge your own progress.

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.
