@xboxnitrogen do 10 reps of each exercise, do 2-4 sets... rest 1-2 minutes between sets...

yeah it's tough - and it'll really help with that burning feeling in the shoulders after you throw your furious combos!

To everyone. Never work your rotators with upper arm parallel to ground like he does at 2:28. Always do with it to your side. Either lay on your side, or use cables if you want to stand up.

This impinges the shoulder girdle and is HORRIBLE on your rotator cuff.

I commend the few people I see in gyms working their rotators, but virtually all do it this way, and you are just asking for shoulder troubles.

Good luck!

Hey man, thanks for the comment, but I do think that you must work your rotators in this position because it trains the supraspinatus more, while with the arm at your side you're working the teres minor more.

Both are important for scapular stability.

The key to performing the exercise as I show in 2:28 is to keep your shoulder blades down and back, NOT letting your upper traps dominate the movement. Doing so like you said may lead to impingement issues.

dude thank you so so much

[fishNtits]

all these isolation moves aren't that great for sports IMO. presses, push presses, cleanr & jerk, upright rows would be much better. A side raise with a dumbell is not a movement thats easily applied in combat sports.

Hey for the dumbbell press do you bend for knees at all???

[Blockeur]

@lovin90 Why don't you fuck off with your comments, eric's too polite, if i were him i'd track you down and fucking smash you, you piss weak rotator cuff cunt

[xboxnitrogen]
