4 most important shoulder exercises

1. EMG Muscle activity during exercise

2. The brachial muscles are three-actons

3. Squeezing the rods

4. We're raising the bands along the body

5. We raise our arms with sticks on our sides and our carcasses fall

1. EMG Muscle activity during exercise

To check the effectiveness of the exercise, it is worth reading the results of the EMG tests. The readings from the electromyograph show the muscle activity that occurred during the exercise. The results of these studies show the mean and maximum value of muscle activity. In the case of isolated exercises or those aimed at achieving a large pumping effect, the mean muscle activity (mean EMG activation) will be more useful. In terms of complex or sport-specific exercise, the highest EMG (peak EMG) activity will be the most important.

2. The brachial muscles are three-actons

The muscles of the forearm can be divided into three axons frontal, lateral and posterior.

3. Squeezing the rods

Pressing a stick over the head is an exercise often performed by gymnasts. To perform this exercise safely, you must meet the same requirements as when pressing a bar from behind the neck, but in the hunting version the mobility will be less. This exercise has many advantages, among others. It balances the imbalance between the sides and increases the range of motion. The weight used during exercise will unfortunately be less than when using a bar, so it will be more difficult to progress.

4. We're raising the bands along the body

Recently there has been a lot of controversy about performing stretch marks along the pelvis. On the one hand, this exercise is considered dangerous, but on the other hand, it is one of the best exercises aimed at developing the central and posterior biceps (despite the high activity of the biceps during lifting). What is true? When it comes to safety, it must be admitted that it is an exercise with increased risk. But why is this happening?

5. We raise our arms with sticks on our sides and our carcasses fall

In the last group of exercises, braces with sticks on the sides and in the lower part of the torso are characterized by high effectiveness. In the EMG studies, one of the largest activity of the lateral muscles of the shoulder was demonstrated. These were placed in second place, just behind the banding face pull exercise. Additionally, for the rear limb muscles, the value of the limbs was also increased, although the exercise is focused on the middle arm. It is worth mentioning the technical aspects.
