Shoulder Prep
By Kelly Starrett


The shoulder is one of the more complicated joints in the human body, so it usually benefits from a good warm-up. As tempting as it may be to grip it and rip it when faced with a WOD, spending a bit of time loosening up your joints is a great idea and will improve performance and reduce the chance of injury.
