I have a great new exercise for all the athletes out there, or non athletes, or wannabee athletes or whatever you may be. If you want to Prehab (prepare) or Rehab (repair) your shoulder or shoulders, these are great exercises to do! You may have seen a couple of these movements before but they are great for keeping those shoulder muscles strong and tight to surround that shoulder capsule.
Many people just working their everyday jobs or athletes that constantly use their shoulder in a repetive movement are prone to overuse injuries. And then what happens? They can't work or practice and play. The YTWL exercises are great to keep your shoulders healthy!
Start out using no weight and then increase 5 pounds until you find the correct weight to use. But you will find out right away that you do not need that much weight when performing 15-30 reps. You will feel a huge burn in your shoulders and will want to quit after the first round.
Complete at least 2 sets of each movement 15 repetitions. Then work your way up in reps, sets and weight. Use that order so you progress and your technique is sound before increasing weight. You do not want to get a muscle strain or push it too fast especially if you are coming off an injury.
If you are coming off an injury and using this for Rehab, make sure you ICE your shoulders after. ICE will be your best friend in repairing muscle tissue from being inflamed. Check out the vid and I hope it helps you out!
Get better everyday!
I'll See you later!
