Home shoulder workout: dumbbell press exercise

scoobysworkshop.com As withany dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don’t use too much weight, if you can’t do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud “one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand” on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise. Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

How To Make The Best Biceps Exercise Even Better

How To Make The Best Biceps Exercise Even Better

The best bicep exercise is the standing bicep curl with a barbell

Why?

It engages the most muscle mass and when you compare it with all the other bicep exercises out there, the standing bicep curl is by fat the best bicep exercise

The standing bicep curl addresses two of the most important elements need to build muscle

The first is intensity, the second maximum muscle mass and the third is muscle recovery

The best bicep exercise is best for generating intensity because overload can be high, you can lift a lot of weight with the standing bicep curl compared to other bicep exercises like the concentration curl

Second the standing bicep curl also activates all the major muscles in the biceps, this includes the stabilizer muscles. When you activate all these muscles you will be stimulating more  bicep muscle in the same period of time. This is intensity

And third because the standing bicep exercise works more bicep muscle than any other bicep exercise, it means you can train the arms less and sallow sufficient recovery time

The bicep exercise we will do here requires just one set

So pick a weight on the standing bicep curl that gives you 12 reps to positive failure- the point where completing another rep is impossible

So perform the 12 reps to failure

When you are done this bicep exercise put the weights down and rest for 7  seconds

And then pick the same weight and perform rep to failure

You will probably get like 8 reps to failure

Again rest 7 seconds and repeat

Your reps will look like this

12 reps

Rest 7 seconds

8 reps

Rest 7 second

5 reps

Rest 7 seconds

2 reps

And that is it!

You don’t need more than one set if you take this powerful bicep exercise to failure

Shoulder Exercises Fixed My Shoulder and Improved My Golf Game

Shoulder Exercises Fixed My Shoulder and Improved My Golf Game

Just a few months ago I thought that I would never play golf again. What started out as a sore shoulder had deteriorated until I was in constant pain, I lost the strength in my shoulder and raising my arm to shoulder height was impossible yet alone swing a golf club. To add insult to injury it was stopping me getting any sleep at night so that I was becoming more irritable with each passing day.

It all started when I was helping a friend to put up a timber garage. We had the first three sides up and were just putting in the fourth when a gust of wind caught it. I grabbed the panel to stop it falling and felt a popping sensation in my left shoulder.

The next day my shoulder was painful so I took some pain killers and just carried on. What I was unaware of at the time was that I had torn my rotator cuff. It was only a partial tear but the problem was that where the muscle had become damaged and inflamed it was now catching on part of my shoulder blade and getting damaged more each time that I tried lifting my arm up to the side or front.

After two weeks of increasing pain I visited my doctor who diagnosed a rotator cuff problem and sent me to a specialist. After normal conservative treatment with steroids and physical therapy, my shoulder was still no better so eventually I was sent for surgery to free up the shoulder impingement.

By now, I had been away from the golf course for six long months and was not too happy when my surgeon told me that I was facing anything up to an 18 month recuperation period. I had a couple of weeks off work to rest my arm, post op,so decided to spend some time reading up about shoulder injuries on the internet. Typing one handed slows you down a bit but I persevered.

I found out that shoulder exercises are the key to a full recovery. This is equally true of simp[le shoulder injuries as well as recovery from surgery. So once my surgery wounds had healed I started exercising. By now my shoulder was weak so I had to start with passive exercises, designed to maintain and improve mobility and then gradually brought in low weight, low resistance exercises to build up the muscles.

The aim is not to just focus on the rotator cuff but also to focus on every muscle that is involved in shoulder movement. A rotator cuff tear is unlikely to mend quickly but you can still have a healthy fully working shoulder as long you strengthen all the other muscles. They in turn support the rotator cuff taking the strain and allowing it to heal more quickly.

There are two important things to know about a successful shoulder exercise programme. One is to make sure that you rest the muscles properly in order that they can heal  beforehand, the other is that you build up the exercises gradually, being careful to avoid any exercise that causes you pain. In shoulders, pain invariably means that you are causing more damage.

I managed to reduce the eighteen months down to four months and have been playing golf again now for about eight weeks. The sweetener in this whole episode is that I now find myself hitting the ball about ten percent further on the fairways.

Having suffered a shoulder injury recently that stopped me playing golf for several months I am keen to tell my story. Successful shoulder surgery and shoulder exercises have now got me playing better than ever. Read my story at
