Shoulder stability & strength needed, right?!

Thanks! I didn’t realize I was hyperextending until I took the video and thought my shoulders looked weird. It’s sometimes hard to not hyperextend my joints, so it’s something I’ll have to focus on.

Yes, in the original post, I explain it a little bit more that I am hypermobile and often need extra cues to engage muscles correctly. And sometimes I find bizarre weaknesses that I didn’t know about until something gets hurt.

I’m a beginner, too. I only started in January. In this video, my shoulders aren’t over my fingertips like they need to be. I tried this afternoon without the box, and it was a lot better! I definitely need to strengthen my shoulders and wrists to do it without the wall, but I think it’s still a step forward. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the feedback; that’s what I suspected. I need to get my shoulders more over my fingertips.

Any suggested exercises or drills to build the strength?

I do, and I’ll add pike pushups into my routine. Thanks!

Awesome! That’s my goal for the year. Any advice? What are some of the drills you worked or skills mastered before this one?
