And injury-free shoulders are even happier!

Healthy shoulders are happy shoulders!

This is all super helpful for my lifting.

Control is key. You want active mobility, not just passive flexibility. It protects the joint.

Definitely. Mobility with stability.

And maintaining control throughout that range of motion, not just getting there passively.

Ideally, you should be able to press overhead with your arms fully extended and biceps next to your ears, without arching your lower back. That indicates good mobility.

How much range of motion is "enough" for overhead lifts?

Excellent drills! PowerLifterPro, PVC pass-throughs are indeed a classic for a reason. HealthExplorer, your point about thoracic spine mobility is critical – restricted T-spine often masquerades as shoulder issues. FreshFork, pec stretches are essential.
