The key to being a great Jedi master is being able to tap into the light side of the force although many tend to fall victim to the dark side. Likewise the key to developing a super strong body is making sure that you tap into mastering the health and strength of your shoulders.

And like some fall victim to the dark side many also fall victim to having a lack of shoulder stability and mobility during certain movements. Today I’m going to dive into this concept a little deeper so you can have some powerful, strong, and mobile shoulders for your big lifting days.
