    Technique for Overhead Mobility and Bad Posture

    I cannot overstate the importance of working on your posture, especially when I walk around the city and see people like this:

    posture

    What’s even worse is when I am one of these people!

    That’s why today’s drill and other exercises like this that address your thoracic spine and shoulders  are important to do on a daily basis.

    Because if we do exercises like this just once a week, it cannot compete with the daily onslaught our bodies experience as a result of computers, driving, TV and cell phones.

    For best results, do 2-3 sets with the first right in the doorway before making your way in a bit deeper doing 6-10 reps each set. And don’t forget to BREATHE!…

    If you’re looking for a 15 minute routine to do daily to reverse or prevent bad posture and shoulder tightness, check out the Shoulder Flexibility Solution here.

    WRIST Straps | SI Joint Issues [ASK ERIC]

    In today’s QnA video, I answer the following questions:

    Hello Eric, I just started your program a week ago and it is awesome. Thank You.

    I just wanted to ask, what are your thoughts on using wrist straps?

    Heavier weights but weaker grip strength. What are your thoughts on which is more important?

    ===============

    Hi Eric, I had been suffering from SI Joint dysfunction for the last year or so…joint seems to be staying in place now, but my lower back is still tight a lot.

    If I lay on my front in be it tightens up pretty quickly. When I sneeze I have to dip my knees or if I’m sitting and sneeze one of my abs (someone every time) spasms…

    Also deadlifting is pretty much a no go as it aggravates the tightness…any ideas?

    My mate has your hip flexibility guide and was showing me a few stretches , is there anything you recommend that I sole focus on ?
