For Chaos: from my physiotherapy notes....

 





This is 3 pages from a 60 page text on Cross Syndrome. Guaranteed, You have it. 95% of lifters have some form of it.

Hmmm. Not sure I don't think so.

I promise that you do

The only lifters who don't have this are the ones who are actively stretching for 10's of minutes every single day in conjunction with a plethora or other therapeutic modalities.

Me personally, I've never seen a single lifter in my gym (hardcore PLing and BBing gym) who doesn't have some form, and MOST exhibit Stratification Syndrome (upper + lower cross). Easiest check is put them through a few motor patten screens. They all fail miserably. I don't have much good to say about crossfit but they tend to be better off when if comes to this topic.

I actually stretch quite a bit everyday, shoulders/back particularly. Can I self test?

 it would be hard/impossible to self-assess I think. I'm not sure how I could do it on myself even.  

Like for example: hip extension... the doctor needs to Palpate the muscles to fire in the correct sequence: ipsilateral hamstring, ipsilateral Glute, contralateral spinal erectors, ipsilateral spinal erectors. Most guys are gonna have some deviation from the proper sequence due to an instability issue.

You're ahead of the pack if you are stretching every day though

I have become ocd about it. Throughout the day I constantly stretch something from fingers to calves.

Would love to perform some Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation stretching on you one day. No homo.

Does that involve unprotected skin to skin contact?

Yes but it's all in the name of science.

Step out of that victim role, you give her the power to control your life.

X2 give us an update bro

[Maggio10]

Upright rows work for me.  If you can upright row +135 for reps keeping your elbows high and always above the bar your shoulders will grow, as much as they can. 135 should be easy.

Does this weight count if you are using cable? I think I do more than that. I could be wrong since I am old and forgetful and it has been more than a month since I have done any training at the gym.

and analblow, here's a tip for ya brosef

work your upper lats to create the illusion of width

it's strange but since i've been doing deads my upper lats have really started to spread and it making me look pretty damn wide
