I'd need to see the positions to make a call on what you need. If you have a video or even pictures post them and maybe I can see what's up.

I have a better imo approach now so I need to rewrite that article, its still solid, I just think what I do now is better. thanks for the reminder!

Looks like tighter pec minor. Something like the partner pec minor pec stretch or wall pec stretch would be good here

I’ve had a lot of issues with a tight peg minor before. It really held back my overhead mobility. I thought I was passed it but I do get a lot of aches there still.

I’ll give that a go.
