I am happy to help!

Your overhead position is being limited by restricted shoulder flexion and a small deficit in external rotation, which makes it difficult to properly stack the humerus in the socket. To compensate, you’re excessively extending the wrist to keep the bar path back overhead. This creates a feeling of instability and overload — not because the load is too heavy, but because the shoulder isn’t stacked and able to support it efficiently. As Tristan mentioned, behind-the-neck (BTN) jerks and presses are an excellent tool to reinforce proper stacking and shoulder mechanics when performed with appropriate load and control. To further improve shoulder flexion and tolerance in the end range, bridged dumbbell pullovers are a great addition. Spending time under light load in deep flexion is key. The bridge-to-bear mobility drill is also a valuable option to integrate, as it connects thoracic extension, shoulder flexion, and scapular control in a dynamic way. 2× per week | 15–20 minutes | Before or after training 1. Bridged Dumbbell Pullover Primary goal: Shoulder flexion + end-range control - Light–moderate DB - 3–4 sets of 6–10 slow reps - 3–5 sec pause in the deepest position - Actively reach long through the elbows, ribs down - Breathe slowly in the bottom position 2. Bridge → Bear Transition Primary goal: Integrated shoulder flexion + thoracic extension - 3–5 slow controlled reps - Move with intent, not speed - Pause 2–3 seconds in both bridge and bear positions

@Kyle Ruth I will train the bridge independently and do things like GHD box presses, crab walks, elevated bridge, etc. I like the table/bridge -> bear for the loaded shoulder circumduction. I love the loaded cat PNF, using the weight belt for load is awesome. I am going to add into my movement selection. 🫡 Coach.
