    In this episode we kick off a new "segment" talking about any recent sports or research news that caught our eye in last few weeks. Today's edition was discussing Kristian Blummenfelt's alleged VO2max of 101. For the rest of time we cover all things about the shoulder - from anatomy, movement, common injuries, surgery, rehab, and more. By we, that means Zach, who gives an excellent overview and some tips and tricks you can use to improve shoulder health.
