an internal rotation deficit can cause injuries in the gym
When will you listen to me
I'm sorry to hear coach

First injury ever to my shoulders. It just happened to be on a machine.

In the gym. Replaced all flat work with incline targeting work. Muttering "Skorpio" with each rep. Nothing to report...yet.

Still got in my dips, tho. Fuck the medial pec, if there is such a thing.

I may give those a try next week. I did incline DB press and kneeling landmine presses.

Interesting. Lowering the weights quite a bit on that one I pressume?

To start out yes for sure...but you'd be surprised how much weight you can actually do with a reverse grip.

Saw another good upper-pec exercise: reverse grip DB incline press. Basically the bottom position is a NG press and you turn your hands to the reverse on the press. Tried a few of these on an experiment and you can REALLY feel it in your upper pecs.

T-Nation (oh brother) has a couple of interesting articles talking about TUT sets lasting 50-70 seconds approximating the hypertrophy effects of occlusion training.

What all that means is that I am gonna get HHHUUUUUGGGEEEEE.
