  1. Great workout Brett. I am definitely going to have try that workout. I love how the combination of goblet squats and the HF stretches helps to improve my squat on the FMS.

  2. Question on the shoulder rotations: Recently I started rotating my shoulder during armbars in an attempt to make it more "complete." In your professional opinion would you say this is a good idea? why?
    Thanks.

  4. Mark,
    Keeping the Hip Flexors loose is essential! Great combo.

    Max and a.j. - The shoulder rotations are a great additions to the Get-up/arm bar...rotation of the arm does a couple of things - it lubes the joint area, dials in the "tension" in the area and teaches you alignment etc... Great stuff
