Shoulder taps in a plank are more than just a core exercise 👀

They challenge:
✔️ Core stability
✔️ Shoulder stability
✔️ Balance + control
✔️ Anti-rotation strength

One HUGE key during these? “Screwing” your hands into the ground.

Think about externally rotating your hands without actually moving them — like you’re trying to twist the floor apart. This helps create tension through the shoulders, engage the lats, and build a more stable foundation throughout the movement.

The goal isn’t just moving fast. It’s maintaining control while your body resists rotation. 💪

Sleep is one of the most important, and most overlooked parts of recovery. 💤

You can train hard, stretch daily, hydrate, and do all the “right” things… but without quality sleep, your body struggles to fully recover.

Sleep is when your body does the foundational work:
✔️ Muscle repair
✔️ Nervous system recovery
✔️ Hormone regulation
✔️ Tissue healing
✔️ Energy restoration

Recovery doesn’t start with fancy tools or recovery hacks. It starts with the basics — and sleep is the baseline. 💪
