George Halbert is a living strength training legend having held multiple world records for the bench press in multiple weight classes. Several years ago George suffered what was considered a career ending shoulder injury. He did, in fact, retire from competition for several years all the time working with dogged determination to rehabilitate his shoulder so that he could resume intense training. George was successful, and has launched a comeback which will see him benching over 800 lbs at less than 220 lbs body weight. Integral to his shoulder rehabilitation was an exercise he calls the H-Roll. This unique movement can serve to both rehabilitate injured shoulders and to help prevent injury with healthy shoulders (prehab). George performs this movement twice weekly utilizing a heavy and a light day. On the light day he performs reps in the 11-20 range using a bit of momentum to get the dumbbells as high as possible at the end of the range of motion (ROM). Heavy days consist of 5-10 reps with a more limited ROM. He prefers to perform the exercise on his back training days, but says that doing them on other training days is acceptable.
