Add 25 Pounds to Your Bench — No Muscle Needed (T-Spine Mobility Fix) | Stuart Locke
Stuart Locke works with Naomi to address shoulder instability affecting her bench press. After assessing tightness and limited thoracic (T-spine) mobility, he identifies issues with her traps, scalenes, and low traps contributing to uneven pressing and shoulder elevation. They use mobility drills—like barbell trap smashes, “open the book” rotations, and T-spine extensions—followed by low-trap activation through incline Y-raises to improve scapular stability. By the end, Naomi’s bench form shows better stability, a shorter range of motion, and improved control, underscoring how increased mobility can significantly enhance strength performance without adding muscle. Stuart will be on the Table Talk Podcast Dec 2nd, 2025! Be sure to check it out.
