Oliver's training thread

[haider]

I hear upright rows, especially if they're done beyond nipple level, are a real hazard to your rotator cuff's. IMO some pressing and lighter lateral movements are the safer way to go, without compromising size or strength.

if not..     hit the weights hard and often.

Thanks for your input. I do appreciate anyone that takes the time to give advice. I do notice some pain when doing upright rows. I always perform the exercise slightly hunched over though. I have to experiment with different positions when performing this exercise before it becomes confortable. I am going to incorporate pressing and lateral movements next time around. I feel rows are necessary though. I don't feel sore the next day otherwise. Perhaps that's what happened to Dorian? lol. I think I should be ok as long as I keep the weight reasonable. No, I won't post poundages lol.

I can't see how upright rows would be necessary.

Upright rows put your shoulders in a great position to develop a biceps tendon impingement problem, especially if your scapular muscles are weak (eg rhomboids). I would be cautious with them or do another exercise.

they are not there are other exercises that work the traps, and are far less dangerus such as shrugs. Upright rows aggrevate my medial delt and start giving me cronic pain, so I dont do them.

Thanks Nathan!

I read some of your other post and you seem like a guy that know's his stuff! Good to have you on board.

[Nathan]

Dude, learn your facts before opening your mouth. Ollie joined the squad and was taking shots at me, calling me gay, etc. I merely had a little fun with him back. I have nothing against the guy, just a little back and forth ball busting. And I don't have low self esteem and if you want to try to embarass me, please do, thats what makes this place fun.

[Nathan]

Melt down LOL Did I hit a nerve? 

U have a habit of shooting ur mouth of in general And saying some one looks like shit isn't ballbusting it's a put down!
U must be a little kid, since you haven't leared how to communicate yet.
And what did u say before he called u gay etc... ? Sounds like u like to put ppl down, and think it's a game, but can't handle ppl saying stuff about you, without crying like a little child lol.

If he thinks it's fun getting put down, I stand corrected but I doubt he does, since u don't either

Dude, I don't care if you or anyone else puts me down. Ollie joined the squad and started shit with me long before he posted a pic. I am sure he doesn't give 2 shits what I say about him. Relax, its all for fun. btw, I am not a kid, I am 32.

my nipples are quite droopy does this matter if i go above them cause they are proportionally droopier than most men.
