The best exercise before overhead lifts—the Band Pass-through

A must in any workout that requires you to open up your shoulder and lift over head. The increased mobility by performing the resistance band pass throughs will allow you to lift properly, work through great range of motion, and maximize your performance on any lifts dealing with your shoulders. Start with the resistance band in front down by your hips and slowly front raise the band up keeping your shoulder and rib cage down and arms fully extended. Start with a few to just behind your ears and as mobility increases, work your way back for a full pass through. You may also substitute in a pvc pipe or any other straight object that allows you to maintain a similar grip. Perform these in every warm up or cool down to increase shoulder mobility.
