Hi, David Weck here. Today I'm going to teach you a version of the Shoulder-to-Shoulder Swing using the RMT Club. It involves keeping the core centered and still while all the range of motion is happening through the shoulder girdles, it looks like this.
Another version involves really rotating and pivoting the back side foot so that the navel and the foot are all rotating as one unit. This will train that mobility through the shoulders and the ability to keep the core centered and really get that rotation and articulation of supination and pronation really dialed it. It's great for mobility through the shoulders [Rotational Movement Training].
So, I'm going to start with a split grip. I come from one side, I anchor with a nice wide base. I'm supinated with the side that I'm to and that creates a low shoulder, pronated on the other side which creates a high shoulder, and then I rotate it through and I rotate it through. I want to get it as smooth through that transition as possible before increasing speed.
This is a fantastic movement for metabolics, it gets the heart rate up very quickly and functionally, it will really help you move those arms while keeping the core steady. So if you're running, you're able to really project the center of gravity forward and move those arms according to what's going to give you the most drop, the most power through your stride.
You're going to do the other side. You're going to feel that one side will feel far more fluid than the other, go back and forth, compare. Go to the side that feel clean, figure out how it feels clean, then go to the other side. You're actually percussing the body. Because the Club head is soft, your end range of motion is a nice tap on the back of that shoulder. So I'm here, here, here, here, here. You definitely don't want your navel to shift at all. The navel is here, all of the range of motion is through the shoulders [Non-Dominant Side Training].
We like to go back and forth, say, five to eight repetitions right, five to eight repetitions left. Go through that three or four times and really give yourself a great metabolic experience but you really get that coordination. It will help your ability to throw big time as you learn how to really move that body and maintain that solid core.
