    This can pretty much all be achieved with shoulder dislocates.

      True, but this specifically target different part of the shoulder so can provide a more nuanced and targeted warmup. If your shoulders are fine maybe it’s overkill, but it’s probably worth the extra minute it takes (if you have a pullup bar).

    Just shoulder dislocations didn’t do it for me, my shoulders would hurt snatching or clean & jerking. I do part of Gregor’s shoulder band warm-up. Been doing that for the last three weeks and shoulders have never felt better. I guess when you get a bit older the extra warm-up is needed.

      I am just 27 and I second the “when you get older…” remark
