Inner Circle: Are Dips & BTH Press Too Risky?

Although important, mobility isn't always the first priority inside UMS.

Stability is often the first step towards a healthy joint, or a successful injury rehab. Especially when rehabbing the shoulder joint after something like a rotator cuff, labrum, or SLAP tear.

Here's an example of where this can be a big issue that heavily impacts how Rad and I prescribe exercises for our clients.

Last week a client asked when dips and behind-the-head shoulder presses would be introduced to his program.

He’s been working through a shoulder rehab phase after a SLAP tear, and those two movements hadn’t appeared yet.

That’s a pretty common question. Because many of our clients have a high achieving strength training, or athletic background.

Most assume those exercises have been avoided because we think they’re “risky.”

But that’s not really the issue.
