Shoulder Exercise

Breathe in through your nose when your arms are in the down position and slowly release the air through your mouth as you lift them up.  You should have expelled all the air out when your arms are completely extended.  Breathe in through your nose as you return your arms down.

  • Place a bench between 2 cable machines or between 2 Resistance Bands securely attached.

POSSIBLE DAMAGE FROM INCORRECT LIFTING: Shoulder damage, tendon and ligament damage 

The key element here is to avoid injury at all cost. Some of the pitfalls that take place causing undue stress, as well as injury is the speed in which we release the weight and not necessarily when we make the exertion. The complete repetition must be done at the exact same speed when we are exerting to lift the weight, as when we are releasing it, to avoid velocity to put hundreds of pounds of pressure on the joints, ligaments, and tendons of that particular body part. Additionally the grip should be firm but not tight to avoid any nerve damage in the hands. Once those items are mastered the correct breathing will help muscle growth and focus and concentration will allow you to put the most effort into the particular muscle that you’re working out.  Above all do not sacrifice form for weigh or repetitions… never sacrifice form.
