Oh, and beauty job on making up and using the new word, “slunched.” Always love new words! Dave usually makes up a new one about once a week. Sometimes they stick. :~)

Hope all is well!

I would say you are a very sweet person for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment.

Thank you so much!

Eric Cressey had an article not too long ago where he referred to an exercise he called the supine “no money” with band.

While not the same in a number of respects, I was wondering if the somewhat similar end position of these and “traditional” W’s would make this “no money” exercise less beneficial than it appears given the comments you made both about the traditional “W’s” and also about the pivot prone position.

And while this doesn’t relate to your post, would it be possible for you to potentially devote a brief bit of coverage to correct form on seated DB “cleans?” I’m not sure if you use or particularly care for this movement, but if you do, it would be great to hear your take on correct mechanics. Many advocate what amounts to shrug, then bend the elbows, and then externally rotate the humerus. The shurgging part is what has me scratching my head, because wouldn’t that increase scapular anterior tilt and potentially limit the external rotation portion? It seems like pull up/bend elbows + external rotation without allowing the scapulae to elevate would be best.

If this is not a topic you feel like covering at all, I understand.

Thanks again!
