Testimonials
An athlete is at there most vulnerable during rehab. You constantly question and second guess yourself. “Am I pushing myself to hard?” “can I do more?” “Should I take it down a notch?”. This is where the Mad Scientist (aka Chris Duffin) comes in! Working with an elite lifter like Chris who understands the rehabilitation process from a lifters perspective is huge! One of the first calls I made once starting shoulder rehab was to Chris. He has helped me with every stage in my shoulder recovery process.
The addition of the ShouldeRok in my rehab protocol served a dual purpose: It helped me to increase shoulder mobility and improved core strength. I highly recommend the ShouldeRok as both a preventative and/or rehabilitative device.
Larry Hook, Retired Champion Powerlifter Facing His 2nd Complete Shoulder Replacement
I’m two days into using my ShouldeRok and I am obsessed! Last night we benched with bands but before starting I used the ShouldeRok. Normally after bench night I don’t sleep due to pain and especially over these next few weeks as we get progressively heavier. Last night, I took 2 Advil and slept through the night! If this is any indication of how things will progress than I am ecstatic! This tool really is a God send. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Stan Efferding, Worlds Strongest Bodybuilder - Chris’s Coaching
There is no shortage of ‘trainers’ out there with a degree from the ‘University of Google’ who can regurgitate someone elses program and tell you WHAT to do. There are very few experts that can show you HOW to do it. Chris Duffin has that unique ability to break down your movement patterns, find your weaknesses and teach you how to correct them using effective queuing techniques that can drastically improve your performance.
Chris Duffin is not just a powerlifting coach. He is much more than that. Chris duffin takes a ton of pride in fixing much more than a PR. Chris has focused so much on technique to improve his lifting. I have enjoyed lifting with Chris over the years, from motivation to fixing form issues. He is the man.
Like many in powerlifting, Chris has an advanced degree from the ‘school of hard knocks’. In contrast to many in his sphere, he has continued to look beyond that injury-riddled road and has found some simple but profound nuggets to improve movement quality. Those gleanings have improved not only his durability but have pushed his performance to the edge of human potential. Many of those skills are transferable, teachable, and he has amazed me with his ability to consistently improve those around him with his coaching.”
There’s and abundance of research demonstrating the limited/temporary benefits of stretching, yoga, massage, foam rolling and other techniques commonly used by athletes for recovery and/or repair of muscle and joint soreness. If you’re tired of limited and temporary results then you need to start using the “ShouldeRok” for unlimited and permenant improvement of your shoulder and scapula for stability and mobility. The ShouldeRok is the only progressive resistance method available to strengthen and stretch the muscles of the shoulder while at the same time increasing joint movement. Mobility coupled with muscle stability is the only true way to FIX imbalances and impaired performance.
Chris Duffin, the mad scientist of powerlifting is the best guy in the business when it comes to combining theory and practice. His level of intelligence and personal experience is untouched. Because of his superior understanding in the theory of human movement and the fact that he’s a high level athlete himself makes him one of the best coaches around. This knowledge allows him to look at any athlete and give them the correct cues and adjustments to help them excel in any lift. He’s also an expert in rehabilitation and helped me tremendously when I was trying to come back from several injuries.
Chris is one of the absolute best teachers of movement. Period.
