When do you do accessory work?
A general rule to follow us going from:
—> global to specific
—> big muscles to small muscles
Always start with your big movements that take the most muscles like pull-ups or squats and work your way down to specific muscles like your rotator cuff (see my video).
On a side note, try this external rotation exercise to strengthen your shoulder stability muscles! This should be one of the last exercises in your routine.
Can you spot my mistake? My wrist is moving! Make sure to keep your wrist nice and sturdy so it’s only the shoulder doing the work (great reality check for myself! Explains why my wrist has been sore 😂)
We all love our squats, deadlifts and front lunges! Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic exercises and some of my favourites.
BUT it is important to work in all 3 planes of movement for a well balanced workout.
—> sagittal plane (like front squats where you moved forward/backwards)
—> frontal plane (move side to side like this video)
—> transversal plane (rotational movement)
What this means for you?
Try adding some varied movements in your next workout that target all 3 planes. This video is a great example of a way to try a frontal plane!
Stay tuned for more examples!
How do you improve your overhead strength? Improve your overhead stability!
Simplest way to do that? Simply practicing holding a weight overhead, something heavy enough to give you a challenge. Maybe even walk with the weight overhead for more difficulty.
Don't have a heavy weight? Bands are a great substitute for overhead stability! Take the band overhead in different directions and pulse to help control the movement.
