Probably a poor business move, but here we go! No need to overcomplicate it. Doing it for the people.

Starting Point

What hurts? What can you not do that you want to do? Once we have that answer, it's pretty simple. For example, let's say I'm having shoulder pain with overhead pressing. I want to press overhead pain free but currently cannot. Now we work backward. Pain-free overhead pressing is the end goal.

Example Progression (Shoulder Press)

  • ✓Overhead Pressing (goal)
  • ✓Landmine Pressing
  • ✓Open Chain Horizontal Pressing
  • ✓Closed Chain Vertical Pressing
  • ✓Closed Chain Horizontal Pressing (starting point)

Progression

Find the variation where you can complete the exercise with minor discomfort — under 3/10 pain. Progress by adding range of motion, adding weight, doing more reps, or doing more sets. When you can do it comfortably, jump to the next level. Keep climbing until you reach your goal.

If it doesn't work, come see me!
