30 Day Shoulder Mount: Day 3
Duration: 00:35:18
Today you’ll strengthen the lower body starting with the yoga block routine, which by the way is great for helping you improve your grip for crucifix both upright and inverted, climbs and more.
Pro tip: You might be surprised to learn that strong legs, hip flexors and a good amount of hamstring flexibility is really helpful when working towards your shoulder mounts. Below I’ve listed a few more things that might be holding you back in your shoulder mount ability. Don’t worry you’ll work on all of these throughout the program:
- Weak core (remember the core is more than just abs)
- Weak lats/upper back (this is also core)
- Weak hip flexors
- Weak quadriceps
- Weak triceps
- Tight hamstrings
- Tight lower back
- Tight triceps
When following a program allow the videos to play in order and follow along. Feel free to pause anytime you need to.

Hi Veena, is it normal to feel the pole (unconfortably) on the clavicle when doing the shoulder rest?
No. The pole should be placed closer to the neck of you feel it in the clavicle.
Thanks, I just tried it. It really helped pushing the pole hard against my neck.
