“There are four main things that deserve our attention when it comes to warming up our shoulders effectively, and they’re almost always important across the board, regardless of shoulder type. Combine these warm-up exercise with proper lifting technique and a well-balanced program that balances out pushing/pulling exercises and isn’t excessive in volume or frequency, and your shoulders should feel great for the long haul.”-Eric Cressey
