    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.

Page 76 Page #2 HEAD & NECK Resolving Neck Tension DOUG KELLER Pulling ourselves up by our “neckstraps” is an unconscious, painful habit. The solution is surprisingly simple. When we carry ourselves with the head thrust forward, we create neck pain, shoul- der tension, even disc herniation and lower back problems. A reliable cue to re- mind ourselves how to shift the head back into a more stress-free position would do wonders for resolving these problems, but first we have to know what we’re up against. When it comes to keeping our head in the right place, posturally speaking, the neck is at something of a disadvantage. There are a number of forces at work that can easily pull the neck into misalignment, but only a few forces that maintain the delicate alignment of the head on the spine, allowing all the supporting muscles to work in harmony. Page #3 HEAD & NECK The problem begins with the large muscles that converge at the back of the neck and attach to the base of the skull. These include the muscles of the spine as well as those running from the top of the breastbone along the sides of the neck (the sternocleidomastoids) to the base of the head.

  • Exercise of the Month: Reverse Dumbbell

    Exercise of the Month: Reverse Dumbbell

    Exercise of the Month Reverse Dumbbell Fly Purpose: To increase overall size and strength to the upper posterior body. Mainly targets the upper back muscles which also act as very powerful spinal stabilizers for posture. Target Muscles: Rhomboids, Rear Deltoids, Middle trapezius Equipment Needed: Dumbbells, or equally weighted soup cans/water bottles Start/Movement: Front view: Side view: • Grab a pair of dumbbells that is appropriate to perform the exercise. Stand shoulder width apart with a slight bend in your knees. • Bend forward at your hips until your torso is at a 45-degree angle, chest up and core fully engaged. Try to remain in this position throughout the entire set. • Bring the dumbbells straight down parallel to the floor, your palms facing each other, with your arms slightly bent. • Raise both arms out to the sides keeping the slight bend in your arms as you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Don’t go past shoulder height when you lift the dumbbells. • Perform the exercise for 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Tips: • When you’re lifting the dumbbells, you should be focused on squeezing your shoulder blades together. • Keep your core fully engaged so that you don't apply too much pressure on your lower back or neck. • Keep your chest open to the ground which will ensure you use your upper back and deltoids to lift the dumbbells.

    Yoga Inversions: the Fountain of Youth

    Yoga Inversions: The Fountain of Youth Darryl Olive, MBA, MHA, CSCS, E-RYT 500 Agenda • General Benefits/Risks • Posture ABCs – Alignment – Benefits – Contraindications/modifications What is an inversion? • Yoga Definition: – Upside down (head below the level of heart) – Lower extremities are perpendicular to the floor, the torso at a 45-60 degree angle from the floor Case Study: Peter • A year ago, the morning after carrying his bouncing 2-year-old boy on his shoulders, Peter woke up and discovered he couldn't move his head. The pain in his neck and shooting down his left arm was so intense that he could not lie on his back, sit upright, or focus enough to drive a car. Diagnosed with cervical radiculitis at C5, C6, and possibly C7, Peter missed work, numbed himself with muscle relaxants, and kept his neck trussed up in a brace for two weeks. He discovered that the pose that gave him greatest relief was Uttanasana. For months, his practice was gentle and low-to-the- ground: hip-openers, forward bends, and restorative work. Five months later, the skin of his left elbow was still numb and the first fingers on his left hand occasionally tingled. • The irony of his injury wasn't lost on him. Forty-one years old at the time, Peter had been practicing yoga for 13 years. Though he knew he was getting older, Peter had always been "good" at yoga, handling advanced poses with aplomb, competing with his peers for the teacher's compliments.
