    T nation posted a new article about internal shoulder rotation.  It has a test and some fixes.  Be sure to take a look at this.  I personally never met a lifter that was more flexible than myself, but even I failed this miserably.  Definitely something I'll work on.http://www.t-nation.com/training/supercharge-your-shoulders-to-lift-heavier

    Nice.. Glad to see he mentioned KStarr in there too. Was gonna say his youtube channel has TONS of stuff on IR.

    I'm glad you posted this.I used to do a lot of work on my IR, and I noticed a big difference in my pull-ups. Then I got lazy.I need to get back to that.

    That barbell IR thing he posted in the article is gnarly, I tried it out this morning.

    My IR rotation is actually pretty decent. I can easily get down to ~2 fists. Definitely something worth continuing to work on, though. It's not like it takes a whole lot of time and effort to lie on your back for a few minutes a day and work it.Thanks for posting, ibob!

    On the testing, I've found that I cheat even when trying not to. I can't really stop it, even with the hand back there like he shows..Try having a friend/family member/someone take a shoe off, and stand with the ball of their foot on your shoulder to tack it down, and do the test. It completely changes my range of motion in the test.

    I was doing the same thing at first.  Finally I was able to stop cheating.
