In my assessments of people with pain and posture problems, the external rotators of the shoulders are often amongst the weakest and most undertrained muscles

Derek Ogden1 year ago

Great advice. I’m speaking from experience as someone who damaged my rotator cuff. It’s so slow coming back.

Jared A. Brock - Biographer & Documentarian1 year ago

This has been huge for me, Alex! My mother couldn't do a single one with her left side. How much weight to start? Would you increase over the weeks?

Was recently going through some upper back pain and posture correction, these do wonders!

Finn McAlister1 year ago

I’ve seen that exercise a few times now on my feed, and I always forget to try it. That looks really good for working the rotator cuff.

How much weight do you use?

Benefits of strengthening our shoulder blade muscles: - Improves your posture. - Relieves neck and shoulder stiffness. - Resolves chronic pain. - Increases push and pull power. Focus on these forgotten heroes for the rest of December. You'll feel and look different by the end of the year. Scapular imbalances are typical in my assessments of clients with chronic pain and posture problems. They have so little muscle mass and strength there that they can barely support their shoulder blades. One side is often way too strong compared to the other. It's normal to have a more dominant side, but too much of a difference will affect you negatively over time. Do 3-5 sets of these exercises twice a week: - DB = Dumbbell. - BW = Body weight. - Rest 60s between exercises. - Rest 48-72 hours between workouts. - All exercises can be done without equipment. Week 1 and Week 3 Day 1 1 - DB Side-Lying External Rotations, 10-12 reps/arm (0:02) 2 - DB Bent-Over Scapular Retractions, 10-12 reps/arm (0:07) Day 2 3 - Unilateral DB T3 Raises, 10-12 reps/arm (0:12) 4 - Bench-Supported Reverse Flys, 10-12 reps (0:16) Week 2 and Week 4 Day 3 5 - Cable Standing 90 Degree External Rotation, 15-20 reps/arm (0:22) 6 - Standing Scapular Retraction, 15-20 reps with a 3s hold each rep (0:27) Day 4 7 - Lying Prone Y Raises, 10-12 reps with a 3s hold at the top of each rep (0:31) 8 - Bent-Over Reverse Fly, 15-20 reps (0:37) // I often discuss these exercises on my timeline because they have helped so many of my clients over the years. Focus on your shoulder blade muscles, and watch your body transform for the new year.

Here’s a killer At-Home Lowerbody workout 💥 For warmup, start with 3 sets of walking lunges and then proceed to 2 sets of body weight goblet squats. •Working Sets: Goblet squats : 3 sets of 12- 15 reps (for the foot placement if you have access to a weight plate, that’s most preferred. I only had small dumbbells). Jump squats (4 sets of 10 reps) superset straight into, wall-sits (4 sets of 30 second holds). Romanian deadlift (3 sets of 12-15 reps) superset straight into body weight, Good-mornings (3 sets of 15 reps, if you have access to barbells or weight bags you can add weight for maximum intensity) Sumo squat : 3-4 sets of 15 reps. If you have access to a variety of weights, incorporate progressive overload on every exercise by increasing weight with each set up to your heaviest. Also make sure to control your reps on both the concentric and eccentric movement for the utmost strain. For more fitness content check my fitness page on IG
