Tony Gentilcore / Dean Somerset –  The Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint (Webrip: 11 MP4 – 2 PDF)This workshop takes viewers through the complete systems used by both of us to improve upper body and lower body function, strength, endurance, and resiliency.We show you how to connect the dots between a thorough assessment, understanding what corrective strategies (if any) will work best, and how to build a training program to help you and your clients in the most direct way possible.SHOULDER- How to use the static and integrative assessments to guide your training program.- How breathing mechanics – particularly diaphragm movement – drives mobility of the upper body and stability of the lower body, and how to use it to see fast improvements in both.- The importance of breathing, thoracic mobility, scapular mobility, and shoulder mobility in looking at shoulder, elbow or wrist limitations.- Why “impingement” is a garbage term, how to assess for it, the difference between internal and external impingement, and what it means to your training program- Training the overhead athlete and their specific considerations, and the differences between them and the “desk jockey” client and what limits overhead mobility in many people- Coaching and improving pushups, chin ups, presses, and dozens of corrective optionsHIP- How specific anatomical individual differences play a role in training, how to find them, and what to do to capitalize on them.- Use a test re-test assessment to your advantage and show clients where and how they can improve.- Combining passive, active, and compound assessments to drill down to what the person needs to work on NOW to see progress IMMEDIATELY.- Understand the difference between structural, neural, soft tissue, and motor pattern limitations to movement, and design a program to address the specific considerations.- How to determine optimal squat and deadlift stances for an individuals anatomical considerations. This may even mean using an imbalanced approach to balance their structure.- Train to improve strength, active mobility, and durability with a variety of modalities, plus when to adjust to make each easier or harder.SHOULDER DAYVideo 1 – Shoulder assessment considerations, differences between overhead athletes and “Average Joes”Video 2 – Assessments, common issues, and adaptations to demandsVideo 3 – Breaking down poor movement control, motion and shoulder health risk factors to avoid, and shoulder stabilization optionsVideo 4 – Common errors in shoulder health exercise prescriptionsVideo 5 – hands on shoulder training: prone trap raise, chin up progression, scapular motion, breathing drills to help shoulder movement.HIP DAYVideo 6 – Hip anatomy and individual differences: how much hip anatomy can be different, even between sides, and what this means to your training program. Passive assessments.Video 7 – stratifying hip mobility and goals for training programs based on positional differences and available range of motion. Using active assessments and gross patterns.Video 8 –what the restriction to a movement might be, how to address it, be it a structural, soft tissue, or neural and how to adapt that directive to the specific person and their abilities.Video 9 – Integrative mobility and strength work.Video 10 – Training the Hip Hinge and SquatVideo 11 – Wrap up and big considerations, plus unscripted Q & A
