More information. In the gym, you need weights you can do effective reps with, not weights that are so heavy that you struggle with them. You can still build muscles with a light weights

The rotator cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These originate on your scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on different parts of your humerus, or upper arm. As a whole, they provide dynamic stability to the shoulder joint, while individually, they assist with various shoulder movements, including abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Since these muscles contribute to multiple shoulder movements along with other muscles, you really cannot isolate the rotator cuff. Even with external rotation, which is performed mostly by the infraspinatus and teres minor, you will receive some assistance from the posterior deltoid. Therefore, in order to maximize rotator cuff strength, our recommendation would be to focus on a comprehensive program. This will better prepare you for a wide variety of tasks and activities involving the shoulder. To demonstrate what we mean, let’s consider the biceps. If you perform pull ups and rows, these exercises will secondarily work the biceps. However, if your goal was to maximize strength and hypertrophy of the biceps, you would also incorporate isolation exercises, like a biceps curl. The rotator cuff is no different. Compound pushing and pulling exercises at various angles will challenge the rotator cuff, but if you want to train your shoulders to their full potential, a comprehensive program that also includes isolation exercises in different directions will likely be the most optimal. These are just SOME external rotation strengthening options. Learn more:

Every home office should have a pull-up bar like this. Force yourself to do a few pull-ups every time you walk through the door. Every couple of hours, do a dead hang. Your shoulders, back, and neck will all feel better.

Barbell squats build strength, power, and coordination. Leg press builds quads. If you want to be strong at squatting, squat. If you want bigger quads, pick the exercise that is more stable and actually takes your quads to failure rather than the lower back.

Barbell Squats build more than your quads. They build more than your legs. They put systemic stress on your entire body, forcing it to grow. Barbell Rows build more than your lats. They build your entire back, including your erectors and traps. They also add to the growth of your posterior chain. I could go on with other free weight examples, just understand this: The overall hypertrophic stimulus and added muscle density achieved with heavy, free-weight compound lifts will be greater than what’s achieved using machines exclusively. In the context of bodybuilding, a combination of both free weights and machines is the best scenario… under one condition: The aim should be to first max out both maximal strength and execution quality on free-weight lifts. That’s how most of the best physiques in history were built. And that should be the bread and butter for any beginner, up to a late-intermediate / early-advanced lifter. Don’t just take my word for it. Study the history of bodybuilding and how the biggest mofos built their physiques.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band Pull Apart. When you sit for long periods the back muscles tend to round and weaken. One of the best exercises you can do to strengthen your upper back is the Band Pull Apart. It develops the muscles in the mid to upper back. Over time this can improve posture and create a more stable body. How to do The Band Pull Apart: 1. With an underhand or overhand grip, hold a band at shoulder height and slightly wider than shoulder width apart. 2. Stand with a tall posture while maintaining a neutral head and neck position. 3, Rotate your shoulders outward to engage your lats and upper back. 5. Squeeze your upper back and posterior deltoids and begin to pull the band apart. Your shoulder blades should begin to retract as your arms begin to move backward. 6. When your upper arms are in line with your back, squeeze your upper back muscles and posterior deltoids. Pause at the bottom of the movement. 7. Allow your shoulder blades to protract and your arms to return to the starting position. Use a light band. Aim to do 15 to 20 reps for 1-3 sets. Do this 3x a week. Your back and shoulders will thank you. If you like posts like these follow me Dan Go for more!

Great routine for people who sit at desks. 5 minutes to feel stronger & pain free. Cat Cows increases the flexibility of the neck, shoulders and spine while stretching the muscles of the hips, back, abdomen and chest. Bird Dogs promote proper posture, improves stability, relieves low back pain and encourages a neutral spine while strengthening your core, hips and back. The McGill Crunch activates your core while keeping your lower back in a natural arched position. This minimizes stress on the spine while increasing endurance in your ab muscles and can relieve low back pain. Side planks work the obliques, which are one of the most underrated muscles in your body. They also strengthening your glutes, hips, and shoulders. Glute bridge holds work your glutes, hamstrings and lower back without putting pressure on your spine. When doing the core exercises make sure to BRACE your stomach as if Mike Tyson were to punch you in the stomach. This activates your core. When doing the full body or glute exercises make sure to squeeze your glutes as if you're trying to crush a quarter in your butthole. Do 6 reps of each exercise with slow and controlled movements while mentally activating your muscles. Try it out between desk sessions & let me know how it went.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called the Band dislocate. When you sit at a desk for long periods of time your shoulders start rounding forward and your chest caves in. Band dislocates help mobilize your rotator cuffs while stretching out your chest muscles. How to do them: You can use a band, a towel or a broom handle. Resistance band is best. Hold the band in front of your waist. Rotate your arms up & over your head down to your low back. Reverse the process. That is one rep. Do this for 6 to 12 reps. Do this a few times a week and your shoulders and chest will thank you.

This stretch should be mandatory for people who sit at desks. It's called a T-Spine Extension. As we get older or if we sit for long periods of time our thoracic spine becomes less mobile. This can cause neck, shoulder, and lower back pain as well as a hunched over croissant type of posture with the body. The T-spine extension helps you stretch your lats and upper back to reverse age or sitting related mobility issues. How to do it: 1. Make sure you're in full elbow flexion in the bottom position. 2. Make a double chin so that you don't drift into forward head posture. 3. As you rock back, brace your core and focus on extending through the upper back and flexing through the shoulders, rather than just arching the lower back. Do this for 6-12 reps daily. Your back will thank you.

Most people think they have a strong back because they can move big weight on barbell rows. But in reality? They are just efficient at cheating. And the barbell row is arguably the easiest exercise to fake. You can add a little hip swing, use a bit of momentum, and suddenly you’re moving heavy weight. You feel strong, but your lats are barely working. That’s why I program technique refinement phases like this one to force a reality check. I’m not interested in just moving weight from A to B. I want maximum efficiency per rep. So, I swap the heavy loads for this variation: Iso-Hold Rows. The concept is simple: Pull and hold for 2-3 seconds. When you introduce that pause, momentum dies. You can’t bounce the weight. You have to physically own it at the hardest part of the movement. It’s the ultimate quality control for your back training. If you can’t hold the squeeze for 2 seconds, you aren’t controlling the weight. The momentum is. Control first. Load second.

Hanging leg raises are one of my favourite exercises to build core strength But if you can’t hang or are building up to the hanging variation You can do lying leg raises where you anchor your hands behind your (with straight arms) below heavy dumbbells for example The idea is to press up against the dumbbells with your hands while keeping your (lower) back flat on the ground at all time Your feet don’t touch the ground between reps Perform slow and controlled If straight legs are too hard tuck your knees to your chest 2-3 sets to failure

Great stretch for people who sit at desks. It’s called a Cossack Squat. This works your adductor muscles, which are one of the largest muscles in your legs, but due to long periods of sitting, they can become tight and inflexible. The Cossack Squat restores and improves your lower body's range of motion while developing mobility in your hips, knees, hamstrings, and ankles. It also helps you build resilient joints and soft tissues, squat deeper, and stay protected while running and jumping. Here's how to do them: 1. Start in a wide stance using support if needed. 2. Shift your weight to the right leg & sit back as far as you can. 3. Keep the left leg extended as you rotate your toes up. 4. Keep your right heel on the floor and torso upright. 5. Pause, then push back to the wide-legged starting position. 6. Do the same on the next side. Do this for 6-12 reps each side. Your hips and groin will thank you 🙏🏼

Train biceps? I'd bet that your standing barbell curl is training your lower back and front delts more than your biceps. Watch any guy over 40 curl heavy. What you’ll see is his hips shoot forward, ribs flare, and then the lower back finishes the rep. Fix? Feet elevated straight bar cable curl. Feet up → pelvis tucks → spine can't cheat → biceps do 100% of the work (plus it protracts the shoulder into a healthier position). The result is you get constant cable tension with zero momentum and zero back tax. If your arm growth has stalled recently or you just need fresh inspiration, give this exercise a try and let me know what you think.

Don’t see enough love for Seal Rows on the timeline These are one of my favourite back exercises because your chest is supported, so you can’t use your lower back or swing the weight to cheat the rep Which means your upper back and lats have to do almost all of the work It’s one of the easiest rows to progress because every rep starts from the same position, making it much harder to fool yourself into thinking you’re getting stronger by using momentum Also this is hard to explain, maybe it’s just me, but seal rows have a completely different feel to any other row Even though the movement pattern is similar to a seated chest-supported row Lying face down changes the whole sensation It feels like you’re pulling the weight straight up into your body rather than back towards you It’s one of those exercises that just feels amazing lol Seal row supremacy

7 Reasons I Love Full Hex Squats! 1. Step-ups and split-squats on some sort of podium have already been go-tos for me for the past 15 years of knee rehab and coaching, and anyone can access these for free or dirt cheap. 2. Not everyone wants to jump into barbell squats. My parents maintain bodyweight. I advise young athletes to master one leg at a time first. Both user-friendly from this. 3. Sophomore year of high school I injured my neck from being pushed into heavy barbell squats. Full hex squat allows you to build some upper back first. 4. My best friend in high school broke his back while maxing out barbell squats. Spent the next year in a metal brace. When your legs can’t handle a full hex squat, you’re in a DEADLIFT, not a GOODMORNING. Deadlift has way easier leverage, so you’re way safer. 5. Hex squat isn’t as good for lower back building, but for me, my parents, and my teenage students, back extension is already my go-to to build lower back muscles at higher reps BEFORE worrying about max loads. (To be clear: 1-5 above are amazing PREP/HELPERS for barbell squats if you so desire!) 6. If a young person does want to see their peak strength, a regular hex deadlift is a very safe and accurate option. 7. The same hex is advantageous for forward and backward farmer’s walks to help your ankles and grip keep up with your new power! (These podiums won’t be good biz since they’re made in USA, small batches, but these are easy to mimic or copy. ETA 6 weeks to first batch for sale, for those interested.)

Why to rip slow rows: Greater lat engagement: -Tugging with a narrow grip and keeping your elbows tucked close to your torso allows for deeper shoulder extension, heavily targeting your latissimus dorsi for back thickness. Secondary activation: -Recruits your rhomboids, lower traps, biceps, and forearm flexors to assist with the pull and build arm strength. Joint-friendly pulling: Reduces stress on the shoulder joints compared to wide-flare variations by keeping your arms in a natural, neutral alignment path. Tempo and Control Benefits Increased time under tension: -Slowing down the eccentric (lowering) and concentric (pulling) phases forces muscle fibers to work harder for longer, stimulating better hypertrophy. Elimination of momentum: -Slowing the speed stops you from using your lower back or body English to jerk the weight, ensuring your target back muscles do the actual work. Better mind-muscle connection: -Taking extra seconds on each rep lets you consciously feel the squeeze at the peak contraction and control the stretch on the way back. Posture and Stability Core reinforcement: -Moving slowly requires a braced core to keep your torso stable throughout the full range of motion. Improved posture: -Strengthening the muscles that pull the shoulders down and back helps combat everyday slouching and postural rounding

People are waking up to the power of zerchers You should use Zerchers because they’re excellent for: • Grooving squat mechanics • Building the upper back and traps • Reinforcing strong trunk bracing • Being easier to learn than front squats • Requiring less mobility than front squats • Being friendlier on the wrists and shoulders • Opening up the hips • Look badass But don’t use Zerchers just because they “look like the sport.”
