Improve Mobility For SPIKING

Two exercises we have in the Built For Volleyball program to help with spiking mobility, overall movement quality and shoulder health! If you haven't signed up yet check my bio to start training toward better, durable and explosive volleyball. • • The first exercise helps improve the shoulder mobility, taking it through full extension and flexion. When we bring our arms down, we're trying to keep our shoulders down and back. Our shoulder blades are then downwardly rotated, retracted and depressed. Then as the arms raise, we're reaching far in front and high. This brings the shoulder blades forward (protracted), upwardly rotated and elevated. • • To do this without overcomplicating things, you're basically reaching as far as you can throughout the entire movement. Some athletes have troubles mostly with the upward rotation and elevation, but it depends. Restrictions or tightness in these areas like the lat can cause restrictions in other movements that we need in spiking. Improving this area allows us to get and keep our shoulders in an optimal position. We get some thoracic extension and work to posteriorly tilt the scapula (basically tipping the bottom back) as you raise the arms and reach. • • Thoracic rotation is huge for better spiking. This movement helps with the ability to separate the shoulders and hips (ribcage/pelvis) so we can move better and get more power in our torso rotation. In the program we also practice the spiking sequence alongside to bridge the gap. • • A lot to it but hope this helps! • • Go get it • • #volleyball #volleyballtraining #volleyballplayer #vball #volleyballtime #volleyballlife #volleyballscience
