Our Choice for the Article of the Week

Lets just face the facts - shoulders suck. At some point in our lifting career almost all of us will face some sort of shoulder injury. For the lucky few they will be minor, while the rest of us will not be as lucky. Understanding how to fix, prevent and work around these injuries is important to our training. Check out this great article by Christian Finn where he gives great training advice to keep your shoulders (or boulders in some cases) healthy and strong!
