Prevent Shoulder Injuries With Rear Delt Flyes

http://www.LeeHayward.com

One of the most common injuries that people will get from working out is a shoulder injury. The shoulders come into play in virtually every single upper body exercise you do, and they also get worked with some lower body exercises as well such as squats where the barbell is held across your back. So if you get a shoulder injury it can really hamper your workouts for the entire body.

One of the root causes for shoulder injuries is a muscle imbalance between the front delts and the rear delts. Generally the front delts get much more muscle stimulation and are over developed compared to the rear delts. So to counter this you should include more rear delt work in your training such as the rubber band rear delt flyes.

Great video, but i have a question. I also have that ''clicking'' (i injured both of my shoulders 4 months ago). After the injuries i did the mistake to take again heavy weights and had little pain to no pains but also the feeling of dislocation. Anyway, now i changed everything to safer exercises, lighter weight and more reps, but i am afraid of that clicking. Move to heavy or not? what do you suggest? I would aprecciate your answer.

Clicking in the joints is normal, I have some clicks in my joints as well. As long as the clicking doesn't cause any pain or discomfort it's ok.

@leemhayward It is a bit discomfort...Could you please tell how to rehab them? I have seen many of your videos, but i don't understand what to do. I mean leave the weights and focus on rehab or light weights and rehab together? Please give me a handle...or a shoulder!

It would be a good idea to visit a physiotherapist who can see you in person and better diagnose your shoulder problems. If you are feeling pain that's not a good sign, you shouldn't ignore this.

@leemhayward Ok, i understand. Doctor or physiotherapist? They are the same for these problems?

I'd go to see a physiotherapist who is used to working with athletes and dealing with sports related injuries.

take 4$, go to a sports store, buy one, bring it to the gym.... come on guys, do some critical thinking and take actions instead of just always asking and waiting for the easiest solutions
