Rotator Cuff and Scapular Strengthening

[ironwoodrow]

..there is way too many "know it all's" commenting here...can other exercises be effective, yes!..can other products be effective, yes!...but that's not the point..do they market well...yes...but proof is in the pudding, meat heads! the product and protocol work and that's the bottom line..it doesn't mean other methods or products don't but it doesn't disparage or discredit this product...so let's be adults here...too many ignorant and uneducated comments...

Elastic bands could do exactly the same...at a fraction of trhe cost!

who is human anatomy? can u cite him?

[pillsburydoughboy47]

Tai Chi Chuan helps a lot too.

Looks kind of dumb to me, i think ill stick with dumbbells and pullup bar.Also deep pushups work that region too.According to human anatomy, to develop fast twitching white muscular tissue you need to only add more weight to the motion.....

[fitagent74]

agreed, most reverse flies or shoulder movements would work fine

[stevnoof121]

i did these yesterday and now im lookin at videos to stop the pain lol guess my delts were weaker than i thought

[Dj1LL]

@s1phor you got no idea what your talkin about.

[yorkshirerepresenter]

not really sure why its better than a 5kg weight..?

[berkeleygal]

Yep, I'd say theraband or thera-tubing is all one needs. I do think that both are superior to free weights in these exercises.

[hypnos315]

looks like an overpriced resistance tube setup to me

[WorldMan1975]

(continued) d) that the resistance offered by bands is better than free weights, e) that the range of motion in the CS system is superior to free weights...I could go on, but maybe you could address one of these points. Thank you.

[pontius]

Looks good to me.

The CS System is an advanced rotator cuff workout and would not be appropriate for early rehab. The high velocity plyometrics target the fast twitch muscle fibers, unlike slow traditional exercises, and have been implemented by 10 major league baseball organizations as well as over 100 rehab clinics for bridging the gap between clinical rehab and on the field performance. These professionals would not implement our plyometric routine if they considered the exercises to be potentially dangerous.

[WorldMan1975]

As if marketing fitness equipment has no relevance in whether professionals or professional agencies adopt it. To me, this CS system is clearly more related to the marketing. If this is not the case, then tell me a) why "crossing over" has more advantages then "non-crossing over" movements b) the evidence for fast movements = fast twitch muscle fiber recruitment c)that the muscles in the rotator cuff region are predominantly fast twitched,

[WorldMan1975]

Give me a break...the same kinds of movements can be replicated in other ways (e.g., free weights). The fast contractions shown in the video are also an irresponsible, and potentially dangerous recommendation.

[CrossoverSymmetry]

You are absolutely correct in stating these exercises can be replicated in other ways e.g. Free weights. However, you would not be able to stand in a functional upright position using free weights and target these specific rotator cuff muscles because of the pull of gravity. To properly target these muscles using free weights you would have be in prone, lying down, position. Standing in a functional upright position provides proprioceptive training throughout the entire kinetic chain.

[ctastrophe]

Please refer me to one double-blind study that shows that working the RC muscles in the upright position is superior to prone, and that the CS band is superior to the $4 therabands you can buy.

i agree...
