VARIED NOT RANDOM #133: IS IT EVER TIME TO “GIVE UP” ON CERTAIN MOVEMENTS?

An athlete has bad shoulders & has undergone multiple surgeries. Overhead movements such as the push jerk seem to do more harm than good. The athlete feels the movement should be avoided, but their coach believes otherwise. When, if ever, is it appropriate to stop doing certain movements? Pat & Adrian discuss this topic.
