In this video: I demonstrate 3 exercises I’ll use to help reduce the left propulsive strategy seen in many of your clients and athletes.

The consequences are bigger chest muscles and more weight on the bar. This can be a good thing. BUT there can be undesirable secondary consequences. The ability to acquire and maintain shoulder range of motion can be compromised. If the strategies that actually improve bench press strength levels are taken too far, pain or worse, a true injury, may occur. Many experience great success and may never have problems, but an unfortunate percentage will experience negative consequences.
In this video:
I discuss how these consequences arise that increase strain on a muscle, how this may be beneficial for performance, but also how this may compromise health and cause pain. While I use horizontal abduction range of motion, bench pressing, or doing dumbbell flys as examples, this type of strain applies everywhere in the body. For the record, I’m not demonizing the bench press or any exercise for that matter. My goal is to assure that you are making informed training decisions. Thanks for watching.

In this video: I show how an athlete creates rotation and how breathing and propulsive strategies can either support turning or prevent normal rotation from occurring.
