Title: Friendly Reminder
Post by: Fulgorre on May 25, 2007, 07:33:14 PM
If you have severe, horrible shoulder pain during military presses or incline presses try training your traps, back, and rear delts.  Ever since I stopped skipping back workouts and hitting traps really, really hard I've had a complete regression in my shoulder pain.  I really was an idiot was creating the "pusher" physique.  Even if your back isn't exploding with major, hormone like growth :) it will still be strong enough to eliminate shoulder pain.  So here is what I do for back right now:

Pulldowns to front, close grip pulldowns, barbell bent over row, deadlift, T-bar, rear delt dumbbell raises

Now when I go to train shoulders I look forward to it instead of cowering in fear of the pain and then walking off like some slumped over, like some great ape. :X

I don't think that will clear up most peoples "severe, horrible shoulder pain" but I do like the idea that you have to balance the front with the back. 

I also think a very common problem is not training lower back in conjuction with abs. For every face up core exercise I do, I do one face down; for every seated, I do a standing and I also do lots of rotional exercises to even it all out.

You should always work the opposing antagfonistic muscle groups or you`re heading for an injury somewhere down the road.

Weak hams,and strong quads for example,or strong biceps,weak triceps..........the imbalance makes you prone to injuries.

I was a pussy.  Typical moron kid who thought the back would just magically grow!  Boy was I wrong :)
