I might be a 6/10 or something, but working in a medical setting, I'm like a big fish in a small pond. I do physical therapy and I think it's more of a status thing. It's funny how so many women I...

When I first enlisted back in the day, I DID qualify for food stamps and WIC. It was pretty sad. At that time, my base pay was barely over $1000, with BAH and comrats that equaled about $600. ...

This too, but not at the expense of form.

Good call. I guess I don't do mine exactly like that. I don't let me shoulder blades upwardly rotate like that but I have something wrong with my shoulders and problems with scapular stabilization....

At first, I thought this guy probably doesn't know what he's talking about, as it's origin to insertion. No muscle has two insertions. I also had some thought in my head that he was keeping the...

I would try neutral grip presses for now and see if that helps. I would say it sounds like impingement, but if it's not hurting on the way up, that wouldn't make much sense.

The next thing I...

This is the number one issue I see at gyms regarding many exercises, but especially with biceps.



A good rule of thumb is a 2 count on the way up AND the way down. Do this and you should see...

It is most certainly engaging your triceps isometrically.

It depends. What, exactly, did you separate? AC joint? GH joint? By separation, do you mean dislocation? Have you had a physician look at it or do an MRI?

If it feels "loose" or causes any...

Hey, I look forward to it. Keep us posted, as I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open for new treatment options.

I'm a big evidence-based practitioner, and this simply doesn't have enough positive research to justify using it, in my opinion.

Results are very inconsistent, and I'm sure some of that may be...

All I can say is that I've used it on a few shoulder patients but was never a big fan of it. I guess it could help with recovery by assisting those muscles but I really haven't had much experience...

I was over there at Nevatim AFB for about a month. Those girls really do look like that. The best part is, they wanted to get down with some of us. But, we were warned when we got there that they...

If I'm understanding what you are saying, then you are mistaken. The closer we go back to the Big Bang singularity, the more the laws of physics (as we know them) break down.

Well, assuming this was from some sort of injury to the joint (sounds possibly like AC joint separation or something, but it's hard to tell over the internet) then this would be a significant risk...

Yeah, I say potato... :)

I had just actually glanced at your post and saw PNF so I thought I'd add a little. I generally call this muscle energy (it's probably a little more old school) and think...

With any stretches, you can do some muscle energy techniques. Basically, you isometrically activate the muscle you'd like to stretch for about 5-6 seconds, and then as you relax that muscle, you...

Have you tried push up bars? Just a thought.

It basically comes down to this. The added ROM comes from movement at the hip, not your trunk. You're strengthening the psoas more than anything with a sit up. Of course, you are going to hit abs...

Well, like all things, it depends on your therapist. If your delts are stronger, then you might have been working on the wrong things. Normally, with most shoulder injuries, the rotator cuff is...
