Ben says that's backwards \u2014 and in this solo episode, he breaks down why. He covers why mobility has almost nothing to do with stretching (it's about keeping the fascia hydrated through movement), why your rib cage and spine \u2014 not your shoulder \u2014 are usually the real reason your shoulder hurts, and why skipping squats and deadlifts quietly caps how much upper-body muscle you can build.
