[music intro]
Hey guys,Jeff Cavaliere, AthleanX .com, back here on X-box!
First of all, real quick announcement: new updated meal plans with the supplementation
schedule .The AthleanRX supplement have been out, a lot of guys have been asking, they’re
a big hit, and a lot of guys have been asking: Jeff could you put together a little schedule
that will show us where in the day specifically, depending on how I will work out, what I’ll
best be able to utilize.
AthleanRX 1, 2 and 3.We did that.
If you are an Athlean team member already you’re gonna get that to you , if you’re
not, just another reason guys to become part of team Athlean, to get the AthleanX training
system , you’re gonna get that at athleanx.com.
Now, moving on to this week’s video.
We’re gonna cover an area, that’s probably near endear a lot of , because it’s either
something that you don’t have problems with, or you have a lot of problems with.
It’s the shoulder.
Now, the reason why the shoulder is a tricky joint is because while it does offer the most
mobility it also has the least amount of stability.
So, if you really wanna effectively develop the shoulder, you gotta work all the areas
of the shoulders, to keep the thing as stable as possible.
There are a lot of different ways to train the shoulder, because again, with all the
mobility that’s allowed at this joint, you’re gonna find all kinds of ways to either get
it right or get it wrong and screw it up.
And I hear a lot of times people when they talk about the side laterals, that you’re
supposed to pour the pitcher out.
Pour the pitcher water, turn your pinky up, thumb down.
I’m gonna tell you right now that the fastest way to go and visit your orthopedic surgeon,
because what you’re doing guys, you’re actually internal rotating your shoulders
at the top, which is an impingement position.
So, if you’ve already got issues of impingement on your shoulder you’re gonna make it worse
if you’re pouring out the pitchers like Arnold Schwarzenegger and all other guys told
us to do in the Arnold’s body building bible, right?
So, what I’m telling you to do is, actually have a little bit of extra rotation on your
thumbs, so your thumbs should be above your pinkies, instead of your pinkies above your
thumbs, but not only get this safe activation of your shoulder, but also I’m saying to
get more activation because this little tie in will bring in the rotator cuff which will
support and actually bring in more on the interior inside middle deltoid.
But, here’s the cool tip of the day.
So we get into the part we really want you to see.
What if we could do an exercise that would engage the interior and the middle delt at
the same time?
We could do that with the use of a mini band.
You’re gonna pick up your two dumbbells, ok?
Spread your hands apart.
So, right there I’ve already got middle delt activation just by doing that, and then
I’m gonna do my dumbbell raises.
Again, if you can see, my thumbs are to pint at out a little bit.
So, they’re not turned down, they’re actually turned up, so the dumbbells were moving out
to the side.
Again, I’ll activate and then lift up.
…. And down.
[exercising]
So, a little pre activation right there gets the medium head deltoid.
We’ll bring them down, we get the front side and we kept the shoulder safe because
they’re a little bit of extra rotation to avoid the impingement.
Guys, if you want more stuff like this, if you wanna learn how to workout so that you
don’t only build muscle and get lean, but at the same time stay healthy so you can continue
to do this for years on end, then go get the AthleanX training system.
Guys, as a physical therapist I put my heart and soul into creating a program that will
keep you safe and in the gym first and foremost, and tell you how to build muscle at the same
time.
I’ve done that with AthleanX, I want you to become part of the team Athlean and start
training this way.
Again, head over there, and guys, like I said, the updated meal plans, supplementation schedule
it’s all on your way, on the way to you, my gift, my way of saying thanks to you guys
for your loyalty with me.
We’ll be back here again next week.
Some more tips, more exercises, more workouts, I’ll see you again in just a week.
