Lifting any kind of weight over your head requires full-body engagement….everything from your legs, to your core…and of course your shoulders.
If you’re like most people who train, doing the same old shoulder lifts (military presses and seated dumbbell presses) can get so boring!!! Why not add a little variety to your workout routine? Lift some crazy stuff. Want some ideas? Here’s a great video from UnderGround Strength Coach, Zach Even-Esh. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
Do you have any stuff laying around that you could add to your program?

- an anvil

- how about a slosh pipe
You can check out more of Zach’s videos on Youtube. Leave me a comment…let me know what kind of crazy stuff you lift over your head.

November 10, 2010
Stiff, tight shoulders are usually the result of:
- shoulder injury
- shoulder surgery
- long-term overuse – repeating the same motion, over and over
- absolutely no reason at all – a condition known as “frozen shoulder” or adhesive capsulitis
This video reveals how the Rotater will increase your shoulder flexibility – specifically, the external rotation of your shoulder. These shoulder stretches:
- are very simple
- duplicate many of the same shoulder stretches that are a part of most shoulder rehab protocols
- are used in physical therapy clinics everyday
- are used by athletic trainers to increase the shoulder flexibility and range of motion of their athletes
