Скачать или смотреть Pattern Overload: Injury Prevention for Shoulder and Rotator Cuff

Pain and injuries are commonplace in martial arts, especially at joints like the knees, shoulders, and ankles. Today, we'll focus on ONE way to help protect the shoulders from pain and injuries.

In martial arts, it's common practice to perform many pushups frequently to increase punching power

However, if we aren't careful, the repetitive movements to the frontside of the body can build overdeveloped pecs and anterior deltoids while detraining our backside of the body

To help avoid injury to a joint, its muscle actions should be trained equally, or at least close to equally. So for every set of pushing that you do, consider doing a set of pulling; or even 1 set of pushing to every two sets of pulling, depending on how much of a strength disparity you have between the front and back of your body.

By including certain pieces of equipment in your dojo/dojang/workout routine, you can easily have access to the rowing movements needed to help shoulder health

Equipment like TRX, dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, etc.
