In this week's Hump Day Q'n'A I discuss how to train around shoulder issues covering everything from simple assessments, mobility/stability work and exercise regressions and progressions.

In the episode I discuss:
- How poor shoulder range of motion is commonly hidden and the compensations that occur.
- 2 simple tests you can utilise at home to assess your own shoulder range of motion to see if you should make adjustments to your current training regime. (The 2 tests mentioned: Wall Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbyhKCjrPSQ & FMS Shoulder Mobility Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bi5uCRHJz4)
- The considerations and modifications I make to client's programming if shoulder issues are present.
- The Mobility Work I use.
- My Go-To's for Stability Work.
- When you should remove Overhead Pressing
- Why I tend to remove all Barbell Overhead Pressing from my client's programs
- How I Modify Overhead Pressing and the regressions and progressions I use.
- How I change range of motion & utilise special exercises to work within pain free range.
- How Grip Changes can reduce shoulder discomfort

Plus a host of other information to help you train around shoulder issues, improve shoulder mobility and stability and reduce risk of injury or further discomfort.
