Now — quick piece of shoulder content for you.

The kettlebell arm bar is one of the first exercises I recommend for people looking to improve shoulder mobility and stability simultaneously.

It’s simple, but incredibly effective.

Some of the benefits:

• Improved rib cage mobility
• Better thoracic spine rotation
• Loosens up tight pecs
• Opens the fascial line between the pec and opposite hip
• Helps build healthier, more resilient shoulders

Here’s how to do it:

Start lying on your back with a kettlebell at your side at shoulder level — in what we call the “cradle” position (similar to the start of a Turkish get-up).

Pull the kettlebell to your chest, roll onto your back, and press the working arm to lockout.

Make sure to pack the shoulder down and back for stability.

Now take the same-side leg (same side as the working arm) and drive it over the top of your body. Let that hip rotate toward the ground as your shoulder stays packed and stable.

Breathe in.

On each exhale, gently drive the hip and shoulder slightly closer to the floor.

Do this for 3–5 slow breaths, progressively easing into the position.

This one move alone can dramatically improve how your shoulders feel under load.

I break down this exercise step by step in my 8-Minute Shoulder Fix program.

And remember—you can get that free (or any other 8-Minute Pain Fix course of your choice) when you purchase REGENERATE today.

In 2005, while playing for the Green Bay Packers, I attended my first yoga class. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. But I did notice that my recovery, flexibility, and athletic performance improved. Then, like many things during that stage of life, it fell off my radar for the next 10–15 years. Fast forward to my late 30s. I was still training hard, lifting kettlebells, doing Spartan races, and competing in powerlifting meets… …but something was different. My recovery wasn’t what it...
