Hello, members & i guess, guests?,
The title of my thread here is: Shoulder Training to Both Avoid/Heal Shoulder Injuries info. from another bodybuilder?
Can you please chime in or help me on this?
(this is such an important subject, I was tempted to put it on the anabolic steroids forum so as to get more views / answers, but didn't
This is 1 of the most injured areas in bodybuilding, in fact, warming up is essential even on days you don't work out the shoulder..... some people won't even do any overhead presses, as the shoulders are ancillarily incidentally built with like an incline bench press, bench press, basically other exercises
This weighted ball...
or as my question in this thread asks, using a 2.5 lb or 5 lb dumbell, can be an effective warm up tool to avoid shoulder injuries
Any thoughts on this?
I stumbled on this in a Facebook feed and this bodybuilder, @Azar147 on tik tok
I know about the controversey over Vshred (that Vincent guy who looks like the fitness model) who seems like a nice person, but being puppetted by a major group of businessman, this dude Azar doesn't seem affiliated like that, as far as i can tell
I'm not too famiilar with tik tok, nor if he's getting a monetary kickback, if so, that might not matter
But the system costs, kind of too much money (Relatively Expensive), and to buy from a FB link? I'm Not too sure about that one.
It directs to a website, but
Basically, you take a weighted ball, probably about
2.5 pounds or maybe 5 pounds, as u graduate in ability, as the shoulder gets better
T
he system touts itself as 40 days, 1 month 10 days (a good amount of time for any moderate shoulder discomfort or soreness to heal); notice how I use moderate, which emcompasses a degree lower than that-- mild (the next degree up would be "severe"
Ok, 40 days, 5 minutes a day, doing clockwise and counterclockwise from 4 positions: in front, to the side, at a 45 deg angle & finally bent over and down as if wiping a low-height table, wax on wax off karate kid style
The 45 deg angle, isn't shown in this vid, i'm guessing it's like a slash mark position like so.... / on the affected shoulder, if it's the other shoulder it's a back slash, you follow?
Question, please?
Can this be done with a 2.5 dumbell plate which is about 4.5 inches in circumference and then as you get stronger a 5 pound plate which is about 5.5 in. in circumference?
Basically, you avoid paying almost 240 bucks for this after taxes and maybe 20 bucks in shipping, and you avoid the Tether sling thingy, and you just extend you arm straight, grasp a dumbell and rotate the dumbell plate from various angles
Thanks in advance.... You will be rewarded many times over for your help by both God & if you don't believe in God, some other higher power, or if agnostic, etc., then by karma
Ok so here's the video below
