With your knowledge of diet and training, it should be a snap.

Now, all you have to do is train properly and eat plentifully in order to solidify your gains. Imagine.You've just completed the most successful bulking cycle of your life, adding twenty pounds of mass you're on top of the world. Of all the lousy things that can happen, this has to be one of the worst. Good content, but if he calls me a trainer one more time, he's going to be pushing the sled until the cows come home.

It turns out that another one has a good one rolling along, and he deserves some love, too. A few weeks ago, I gave you a heads-up on one Cressey Performance athlete (Shawn Haviland) who has a blog. As you may have already noticed, we're still working out some kinks in the site - particularly the Articles and Baseball Content pages. Check it out: The Right Way to Stretch the Pecs.Ħ. On a less cynical note, I had an article published at T-Nation on Tuesday. Four separate individuals (coincidentally, all of them went by the name "Professor N=1") told me so.ĥ. Lower backs, on the other hand, respond best to Indian rain dances. For those, I recommend duct tape and a glue gun. I'm sure I'll get a few email follow-ups to #3 from those interested to know if I have any mythological treatments for knee, elbow, and ankle pain. So, obviously, the logical line of reasoning is that everyone with shoulder problems is only a few hundred dips and handstand push-ups away from shoulder bliss and an altogether utopian society where the glenohumeral Tinkerbell sprinkles fairy dust on labrum tears and bicipital tendinosis to make things allllllllllll better. It never ceases to amaze me how many people still haven't grasped the concept of "N=1." Maybe I have a skewed perspective on the importance of a big sample size because of my time in the research world? Perfect example: I get an email from a powerlifter who had shoulder problems for years, and they *magically* disappear when he takes a step back from benching (presumably in terrible form) in favor of doing dips and handstand push-ups. To start off, I want to congratulate Cressey Performance athlete Mark Hogan on becoming the first ever football scholarship athlete at Georgia St, a new program that will begin play in 2010.ģ. Can you really go wrong with a band that's this badass with a drummer who used to be a junior tennis prodigy?Ģ.

Name We know that working on pectoralis minor and levator scapulae will quickly yield results, but rhomboids falls into the same category, as (like these two muscles) they're involved in downwardly rotating the scapulae.Ĭlick here to purchase the most comprehensive shoulder resource available today: Optimal Shoulder Performance - From Rehabilitation to High Performance. If you are someone with shoulder issues, you'll be surprised at what some general massage work on the rhomboids will do to alleviate your discomfort. Much of this comes because of the backward lean, but it's also possible to have it when in the right torso position. Here's an example of what a bad seated cable row, where the scapulae are retracted, but ride up, leading to upper trap, levator scapulae, and rhomboid recruitment. Note how the line of pull of the trapezius changes as you go superior (top) to inferior (bottom).Īs such, you want to make sure that you get your shoulder blades back and down as you do your rowing movements. In reality, the goal with any rowing exercise should be to get the lower trapezius firing as much as possible, as its line of pull depresses the scapula as it retracts - and the muscle is involved upward rotation, which is essential for safe overhead movements. What you'll see if that this line of pull is quite similar to that of the upper trapezius and levator scapulae muscles, both of which "hike" the scapula up. What you want to observe is the line of pull of the rhomboids: You see, the rhomboids typically get lumped right in with the trapezius complex as scapular retractors - and that's correct, but not exhaustive enough to illustrate my point. I got to talking with an athletic trainer at a recent seminar, and we were discussing how people really don't understand how the rhomboids work.
