If I haven’t already said it enough, StrengthCoach.com is possibly the best discussion forum on the internet for fitness related information. If you’re not a member you’re missing out. Just sayin’.
In any case, a few weeks back there was a discussion on the forum about shoulder packing that resulted in one of the most interesting discussions I’ve seen in a long time. My good friend Bret Contreras has summarized the discussion HERE.
As great as the discussion was, the best part for me was the videos produced by forum member Joe Sansalone. Take a few minutes and check them out. Next time I’ll reveal some of my own thoughts as well as a discussion I had with Joe himself.
Feel free to share your thoughts below!
Thanks for the videos Mark, that was the best explanation/demonstration of the Prone Y that I’ve ever seen. The idea of eccentrically loading the LT before externally rotating and depressing makes so much sense.

Thankyou , this is gold keep the good work coming. How many reps would you do and how often.
Comment by Peter Roberts — June 2, 2010 @ 6:29 AM
When previously doing the prone Y I always used to do higher reps and perform it as part of the YTWL circuit, but now I’m thinking I’ll be more apt to teach the movement by itself and focus more on quality of movement than quantity to improve motor control.
I’m thinking perhaps 2-3 sets x 5-8 reps done on 2-4 times per week depending on need. Obviously more frequency and less reps will be needed in the beginning.

These were very helpful videos. Thanks for posting Mark.

Would you progress to doing this with resistance while still prone, or move to an upright position for lifting?
Thanks.

Steven,
Check out part number three of the series. I’d add resistance while prone and then progress to upright.

Great vids, the leanness of model helps to illustrate to us the bone’s movement.
