Hey guys!
Jeff Cavaliere , athleanx.com.
I don’t know how we did it, but we all survived Judgment Day.
Last Saturday, I think the workout was tougher than the actual… pending doom that was supposed
to come at six o’clock.
But we’ve made it to this week and I think it got me at thinking, if we had to protect
ourselves, if we had to survive for Judgment Day, could we apply that same concept to our
bodies?
And I wanted to put together a little series here that I call “ Bulletproof your body”,
and we’ll kind of take certain muscle groups one at a time and say if you’re gonna try
to make not only games in that area but you get stronger, how could you keep is as injury
free as possible . There’s a lot of trainers on YouTube, there’s
a lot of trainers around here guys that will tell you that there’s just certain thing
that make me shave my head, but in other fact the other day I saw someone recommending a
good morning exercise for somebody, and that might be good for about 5% of the population,
the other 95% if they already don’t have a back problem they’ll develop one because
of that, so I say let’s develop it, let’s go after this one body part at time, and I
wanna start today with biceps , shoulders, because a lot of you guys concentrate on that
because of the summer as well . Anyone wants to have their arms looking better.
I have a variation of the curl that I do, called a “No money Curl”.
No when I’m talking about what “No money” it … we have our regular curls, here, that
we see in here, and that’s ok but you can’t just do those in isolation, because what happens
is: Your bicep …there’s two tendons by, two tendons in the bicep, one there is a long
head tendon that actually attaches up in the shoulder so you don’t just get motion at
the bicep by bending your elbow, it actually works your shoulder join as well.
So, what you wanna do is, you know that if you overwork your biceps you’re gonna impact
your shoulder at the same time.
Anatomically there’s no way around that so we’re gonna tend to be internally rotating
like this, ok?
That’s most guy’s posture.
The more we work our shoulders, our chest, everything gets internally rotated.
We tend to ignore the rotator cuff, so if we can get a external rotation into our shoulders,
we’re gonna be able to combat the tendencies to come forward, the tendencies to develop
some bicep problems.
So, I call the “No money Curl” because the position is basically like I got no money.
You know, your hands are out to the side I got no money, as someone came to rob you and
you put your hands out, guys I can’t help you I have no money.
That’s the same position you wanna be in and if you combine it, you curl and you come
out.
So, at the top we got extra rotation of the shoulder, real good position here of the shoulder
joint, we’re still working the biceps as you can see , there’s no doubt, so I come
down the front, up , externally rotate and curl at the same time, ok?
So.. down …. Externally rotate ….. and come down.
So that little combination, this is a bulletproof your body, bulletproof bicep exercise right
here, because we are gonna protect the shoulder joint at the same time that we are obviously
developing our arms.
So, even by turning to the side, you can see the position of the shoulder here.
External rotation, we’ve engaged the rotator cuff back there.
If we don’t we just curl off this way, that’s what’s gonna look like we come here and
we rotate out we can see how that rotator cuff here is activated.
So, basically, guys, this all series here, we’re to go through and talk about other
areas.
Your knees, your hips, your ankles, you know?
Things that affects your ankles at the ground are gonna screw up your back if you don’t
wanna address them.
It may even screw up your shoulder believe it or not, if you have problems out your ankles
down meeting the ground.
So, I’m excited about the series, guys.
if you haven’t already, you wanna get on a program that doesn’t just build you up
and brake you down at the same time, but builds you up and actually bulletproofs your body,
you gotta get AthleanX.
This is a program that was crafted for professional athletes using those guys to get them ready
for their seasons, make them bigger, stronger, and faster but at the same time healthy.
That’s what AthleanX is all about.

you know; frankly they just don’t address those certain things.
