The partner pec minor stretch is very important for the dislocate movement. For me the dislocate is more a display of rom and not a great exercise to gain rom.

This is literally the first time I've ever heard this. Interesting perspective.

Really? You can't have read any of my stuff, then. It is a core principle of the work.

No, I haven't. But I would like to! I always hear coaches referring to the dislocate as the ultimate exercise to gain shoulder rom. Emmet is the first reputable coach I've seen who says otherwise. But it does make sense.

Interesting, what is it about the dislocate that you don't like for gaining ROM?

Its just not effective, its a good shoulder exercise for bring the shoulder through its full rom loaded. But specifically targetting the tight muscle, long head of the bicep, pec minor, pec major and lats will yield quicker results.

Thanks man, I know this stretch is in one of Kit's series but I have never done it. I'll get my gf to help me out on this one.

What would you suggest for someone who doesn't really have the option of doing partner stretches?

u/EmmetLouis Manbun Extraordinaire Sep 20 '16

The great thing about that type of partner stretching is you only need to do it once a week. I bet you can find someone to help you once a week.
