Day 5 _ Upper Body Mobility

Day 5 shifts the focus to the upper body — shoulders, thoracic spine, and the structures that connect them.

Modern life tends to close the upper body down. Sitting, screens, driving, stress, and poorly planned training all pull the shoulders forward and limit thoracic movement. When that happens, strength leaks, technique suffers, and pain often follows.

This session is about restoring freedom where you need it most.

Upper Body Mobility isn’t passive stretching. It’s active, controlled movement designed to improve shoulder mechanics, thoracic rotation and extension, and the ability to move the arms overhead and across the body with control.

You’ll work through movements that:

• Improve shoulder range without compromising stability
• Restore thoracic spine movement for better posture and power transfer
• Reduce tension through the neck and upper back
• Support pressing, pulling, throwing, and striking patterns

Like the lower body sessions, this day doubles as a movement check-in. You’ll notice asymmetries, restrictions, and areas that need more attention — information you can carry into future warm-ups and training blocks.

This work pays dividends across everything you do: stronger lifts, cleaner technique, better breathing, and fewer niggles that derail consistency.

Move with intent.
Breathe through the range.
Build capacity, not just flexibility.

Day 5 keeps the system balanced and ready for what’s next.

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."

The odds were stacked against me:

● Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work, abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years period of my life

● Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping school

● At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier, at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning coach
38+: The next evolution begins
