  • Weight Training for the Shoulder
    40 Allied Drive Dedham, MA 02026 781-251-3535 (office) www.bostonsportsmedicine.com Strength Training for the Shoulder This handout is a guide to help you safely build strength and establish an effective weight- training program for the shoulder. Starting Your Weight Training Program • Start with three sets of 15-20 repetitions • Training with high repetition sets ensures that the weights that you are using are not too heavy. • To avoid injury, performing any weight training exercise to the point of muscle failure is not recommended. • “Muscle failure” occurs when, in performing a weight training exercise, the muscle is no longer able to provide the energy necessary to contract and move the joint(s) involved in the particular exercise. • Joint, muscle and tendon injuries are more likely to occur when muscle failure occurs. • Build up resistance and repetitions gradually • Perform exercises slowly, avoiding quick direction change • Exercise frequency should be 2 to 3 times per week for strength building • Be consistent and regular with the exercise schedule Prevention of Injuries in Weight Training • As a warm-up using light weights, you can do the rotator cuff and scapular strengthening program (see next page) • Follow a pre-exercise stretching routine (see next page) • Do warm-up sets for each weight exercise • Avoid overload and maximum lifts • Do not ‘work-through’ pain in the shoulder joint • Stretch as cool-down at end of exercise • Avoid excessive frequency and get adequate rest and recovery between sessions. • Caution: Do not do exercises with the barbell or dumbbell behind the head and neck. For shoulder safety when working with weights, you must always be able to see your hands if you are looking straight ahead.

  • Calisthenics-Worldwide-Free-Training-Program.Pdf
    PUSH -PULL CALIS- THENICS PROGRAM ABOUT Calisthenics Worldwide is a professional educational platform for athletes, calisthenics enthusiasts and movement professionals. It encourages the intensive use of literature and life-long learning. CWW was founded to support athletes in their quest to explore new tools, tricks and methods in training. Calisthenics has taught us to believe in ourselves. It has taught us dedication and discipline, and the best part is that it can work for you too. We know this because we’ve inspired a lot of people to start working out. They have used this program and it has helped them get the body and life they want. Everything you need to do is • Read the BASIC RULES and our HOW TO • Pick a workout from the plan • Find a good rep range based on your fitness level • Give it all you got! BASIC RULES 1. The first thing, with any workout, make sure your form is perfect. 5 perfect pull ups are better than 10 half ass pull ups. Find yourself a good rep range. I can do 15, even 20 pull ups. But not perfect... so I do 10 reps with everything. Pull and push-ups, squats, etc. 10 reps is my number where I’m able to perform each exercise perfectly and correctly. In the program you’ll find a pre-set number. Please note that with the first training you need to adjust the number on your own fitness level! 2. Calisthenics is healthy. It can be done almost every day. Why? It’s your own bodyweight.

Muyor 1,2,* 1 Health Research Centre, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain; [email protected] (D.R.-R.); [email protected] (J.A.A.-V.); [email protected] (I.M.-F.) 2 Laboratory of Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Ergonomics (KIBIOMER Lab.), Research Central Services, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 September 2020; Accepted: 5 October 2020; Published: 8 October 2020 Abstract: The bench press exercise is one of the most used for training and for evaluating upper-body strength. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the electromyographic (EMG) activity levels of the pectoralis major (PM) in its three portions (upper portion, PMUP, middle portion, PMMP, and lower portion, PMLP), the anterior deltoid (AD), and the triceps brachii (TB) medial head during the bench press exercise at five bench angles (0◦, 15◦, 30◦, 45◦, and 60◦). Thirty trained adults participated in the study. The EMG activity of the muscles was recorded at the aforementioned inclinations at 60% of one-repetition maximum (1RM). The results showed that the maximal EMG activity for PMUP occurred at a bench inclination of 30◦. PMMP and PMLP showed higher EMG activity at a 0◦ bench inclination. AD had the highest EMG activity at 60◦. TB showed similar EMG activities at all bench inclinations.

  • The Bench Press Fly's
    www.dfwsportsmed.com AC Joint Injuries: Weight-Lifting Exercises to Avoid Adapted from Ollie Odebunmi, Demand Media The acromioclavicular joint, also known as the AC joint, is at the top most point of your shoulder where the collar bone attaches to the shoulder. AC joint injuries are caused by repetitive trauma, falls on the shoulder joint or certain weightlifting exercises. But you don't have to abandon your weightlifting program. Simply modify your technique and avoid the exercises that cause discomfort. The Bench Press Avoid full range of motion barbell or dumbbell bench presses. Excessive stress on the AC joint occurs when your elbows drop below your body on the downward motion. Using heavy weights compounds the problem. The bench press is often seen as a test of strength by weightlifters, and many do the exercise too frequently with near- maximal weights. Limit the stress on your AC joint by not bench pressing every week. Use a towel roll or do the bench press on the floor to prevent the elbows from dropping past the body. Fly’s Flat bench or incline bench dumbbell fly’s with dumbbells lowered in a wide arc out to the sides overextends the shoulder joints. The stress and risk of injury to the AC joint increases if your elbows drop below your body to get a full stretch of the pectorals. Machine fly’s gripping a bar or handles or with forearms against a pad also overextend your shoulder joints on the negative phase of the movement as your elbows travel beyond your shoulder joints.

  • Muscle Activation and Kinematic Analysis During the Inclined Leg Press Exercise in Young Females
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Muscle Activation and Kinematic Analysis during the Inclined Leg Press Exercise in Young Females Isabel Martín-Fuentes 1 , José M. Oliva-Lozano 1 and José M. Muyor 1,2,* 1 Health Research Centre, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain; [email protected] (I.M.-F.); [email protected] (J.M.O.-L.) 2 Laboratory of Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Ergonomics (KIBIOMER Lab.), Research Central Services, University of Almería, 04120 Almería, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-950214429 Received: 24 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 23 November 2020 Abstract: Knee joint muscle activation imbalances, especially weakness in the vastus medialis oblique, are related to patellofemoral pain within the female population. The available literature presents the leg press as an exercise which potentially targets vastus medialis oblique activation, thus reducing imbalances in the quadriceps muscles. The main aim of the present study was to compare thigh muscle activation and kinematic parameters under different conditions during the inclined leg press exercise in a young female population. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 10 young, trained females. Muscle activation of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris and gluteus medialis was analyzed under five different inclined leg press conditions, modifying the feet rotation (0–45◦ external rotation) and the stance width (100–150% hip width) on the footplate. All the conditions were performed at two different movement velocities: controlled velocity (2” eccentric–2” concentric) and maximal intended velocity. Mean propulsive velocity, maximum velocity and maximum power were also assessed. The results show that both controlled velocity conditions and maximal intended velocity conditions elicited a similar muscle activation pattern with greater activation during the concentric phase (p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.96).
