  So to sum it up for us plebeians - strengthen our stabilizers by doing:<br><br>- Rows/Face Pulls (focus on leading with shoulder blades <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KBhBj07evM&amp;t=398">6:38</a><br>- Wide Overhead Pressing/Pulling (leading with Delts/Triceps with less Lats/Pecs dominance) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KBhBj07evM&amp;t=458">7:38</a>

  The short version - prioritize your shoulders before all muscles.

  This is the best explanation of why so many lifters have shoulder problems I have heard in the entire internet.

  I have been doing pull ups, dips, weighted pushups etc for years on and off. But never spent much time with the mid upper back because I only felt rows in my lats. I figured I needed to row higher up a little and now I feel it in my mid back and it feels so much better overall. I feel so stable now when im doing dips or pullups.

  I’ve been getting stronger and stronger on my dips like no other exercise and kept getting weaker on my shoulders, this video is a real lifesaver!
