In this case it is very possible that it cannot be rehabbed fully. But it should be done to at least get everyday function of out it. I know what could happen if he tried rehabbing it. I also know what will happen if he doesn't. Also notice, I said nothing about a bench press. I recommended a press.

I definitely think it would be a horrible idea to just give up and use your "weak" hand instead. If you were a client of mine, I'd likely recommend starting with a big movement the shoulder was designed to do, and that is the press. It wouldn't matter if you were just starting with PVC - just start getting accustomed to the range of motion in small increments as best as you can. The press is a incredibly safe movement that the shoulder was literally designed to do, but doing it correctly is an absolute must. When done correctly, there is remarkable gain in function for people with severe shoulder injuries. If you are interested, I can link you to information explaining the movement in detail and possibly places for personal coaching. Remember, rehabilitation stops when the joint/muscle is as strong or stronger than before the injury. The bottom line is, the human body is best rehabilitated by doing the movements it was originally designed to do.

How much overhead pressing have you done to rehabilitate it? Hows your flexibility? Range of motion? Strength? Age? Other chronic injuries? Overweight?

No one is saying do a static load and then move. Just get the load done within the first step of movement.

Heal quick Rod.

The best explanation of what I do is the pinch and roll. To me the more important aspect of that is getting your support hand on the gun as soon as possible and finding a way to get a consistent grip every time.

Sam Never met him, rarely communicate with him, but I have more respect and admiration for him than the vast majority of other people.

Amazing ride by Lance this morning.

You gained 55 pounds in 3 months drinking a quart of lowfat milk a day? I drank a gallon of full fat milk a day and gained 20 pounds in 3 months at the beginning of last year. 80% carb and 20% protein is a great way of ensuring that your insulin resistance sky rockets and stays up there. Everyone say this with me, high insulin all the time = very bad.

Don't worry guys, it's "double tap capable." ...

I don't necessarily believe there is such thing as a "natural athlete" but excluding that I'd say the difference is more in terms of attitude. I'd define natural as someone who doesn't think about the technical aspects of shooting, maybe doesn't know exactly why he or she does what they do or why it's better, and performs well. Example: Brad Balsley I'd define technical as someone who knows all the nuances. Can pick places or ways to save tenths of a second. Knows why they do what they do and can explain it. Example: Max Michel Jr.

Smooth is definitely critical while entering, but it's also critical to be aggressive in the position after you enter. A lot of shooters I see enter smooth and make an effort to stay smooth when it's time to shoot and lose any aggresiveness they had, which is a loser for many reasons.

Switch it up and keep it varied. You aren't ready for work sets until you break a sweat.

Matt initially classified as an M. Ben initially classified as a GM. I think it largely depends on your mind set. For me, getting better was pretty easy, but I was 100% devoted to it. When you are dry firing 4 hours a day, it is pretty easy to get better. When you are focusing on the wrong areas or have the wrong mindset, then you almost start working against yourself. I've always said that how good you become as a practical shooter has nothing to do with where you are starting, but with how much you are willing to sacrifice along the way.

All personal preference. The one thing you keep in mind, the further out you reload - the less fine motor control you have. Need to find that happen medium where you are quick but also consistent.

My 2 cents. The worst thing about standing up in a shooting position is that when you stand up you lose as much as 50% of your aggresiveness. For me that translates to slower shots with weaker follow-through.

That sounds about like something he would do.

I have worn those during a major match and will again. It is not a safety issue like eyes and ears are - if we go under that guise then we should all be wearing body armor to prevent splash back. Personal choice - absolutely.

Yeah, in ring push-ups you position the rings only an inch off the floor and do push-ups off of them.

I haven't looked at your video but I can recommend two things right off the bat. #1, disengage that grip safety. #2 dryfire until your eyes bleed. If you can't find the dot in any and all positions it doesn't do much good for you.

I would stay away from consciously doing anything while firing.

Found them. 1) 50 Push-ups 2) 10 Handstand Push-ups 3) 100 Push-ups 4) 15 Handstand Push-ups 5) Tabata Push-ups: 20 reps/interval 6) 1 Handstand Push-up without wall 7) 10 Handstand Push-ups without wall 8) 15 Handstand Push-ups without wall 9) 20 Handstand Push-ups without wall 10) 1 Handstand Push-up without wall on fingertips Push-ups are keeping body in a solid plank, down till chest and thighs touch ground, all the way extended on top. Handstand Push-Ups are top of head touching ground and fully extended at top on each rep. Tabata intervals are 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest run concurrently. This is enough to take anyone a few years to accomplish.

The only thing that makes them more difficult than regular push-ups is the extra few inches of range of motion. You want difficult? Try doing them on rings. I have a list of 10 push-up milestones around here somewhere that I'll post when I get a chance.

Two part answer....#1 is you should never do something "automatically" - that is a good illustration of why, #2 you adjust to the unexpected by being aware.

Go wings.
