Is this some kind of health issue that his arms and shoulders are so flexible?

Basically hypermobility causes your joints (actually the ligaments in them) to basically become like rubber bands. While they are already like rubber bands, hypermobility causes them to become weaker and therefore longer and stretchier. So your joints can basically do all kinds of stuff. For example, when you fully extend your arm your elbow goes INSIDE and the arm looks like its broken. You can put your feet behind your neck with ease. Basically you can just dislocate your joints at will. But then there’s the two major downsides to hypermobility. The ligaments are weaker, which also leads to the muscles becoming weaker as well as having a weaker end range of motion/leverage. Pushups, for example, are twice hard for someone with hypermobility compared to someone without it. When you punch, they might be more sharp and more whip-like, but they lack weight since your arms are like thin, bendable sticks. Your joints are more flexible since the ligaments are weaker and stretchier. There’s basically nothing holding the joints, they’re very loose. That means there isn’t much preventing the joints from getting too far out of position. Basically, a hypermobile person has a WAYYYY higher risk of dislocating their joints. I dislocated my kneecap half a year ago because I was throwing my partner’s leg with my whole body when we were doing muay thai.

@@wweesf Visit your orthopedist preferably But from what mine gave me, first of all build up muscle around the scapula (if you mean your scapula/shoulder blade). One of the exercises included lying on your side, having a dumbbell, and doing a kind of sideways stirring motion with it (sideways as in basically stirring while standing up, then turning your body sideways lying down, so stir away/towards you) (also don't remember if it was clockwise or anti-clockwise, try what you feel the most burn or whatever from) for around 12 repetitions and an amount of sets I don't remember.
