26.2 is here…
Pull-ups. Dumbbell snatches. Overhead lunges.
Translation: your shoulders are about to do a LOT of work.
If you jump straight into the workout without prepping the shoulders, you’re asking them to handle a ton of volume in pulling, stabilizing, and overhead positions right out of the gate.
That’s where people get into trouble.
Before the clock starts, take 5–10 minutes to prime the shoulders and upper back so they’re ready for the demand of the workout.
In this reel we’re focusing on:
✅ Scapular activation – key for strong, efficient pull-ups
✅ Rotator cuff engagement – improves shoulder stability under fatigue
✅ Overhead stability work – essential for DB snatches and overhead lunges
✅ Upper back activation – keeps your shoulders in a safe, strong position
The goal isn’t to get tired.
The goal is to wake everything up so when the workout starts, your shoulders are ready to handle the load.
Strong shoulders = better movement, better reps, and less chance of tweaking something halfway through the workout.
And if your shoulders are already feeling the Open volume…
