#bandpullapart

[mikealexandercpt]

This was taken in the summer of 2021. One of my big go-to exercises for a strong #upperback, for myself as well as my clients, is the #bandpullapart. Perform this with either a #pronatedgrip or with a #supinatedgrip (my preferred grip!), which will remove the #anteriordeltoids from the equation, allowing the focus to be directly on the #posteriordeltoids. This amazing exercise also plays a part in #trapezius development, giving you a look of power, and #muscularbalance, as the increase in #strength allows you to retract your #scapula with ease. Aim for up to 20 reps when warming up for any exercise or you can also hit this on your off days.

....another chest day means more prehabilitation, rehabilitation and mobility work for the shoulders....doing band pull aparts with a bigger band to get a larger range of motion....using a suppinated grip to keep the shoulders externally rotated, which is a better position for strengthening the rotator cuffs, taking some emphasis away from the posterior deltoid...it got it's time in the sun later in the session....this gym insists on having the AC on at all times...anyone else thinks air conditioning is unnecessary in the gym? . . . . . . . . . . #mobility #mobilityworkout #flexibility #injuryprevention #prehabilitation #rehabilitation #rotatorcuffs #shoulderexternalrotation #shoulderhealth #longevity #ptpfit #bandpullaparts #shoulderabduction #warmingup #calmbeforethestorm #shoulderstretch #shoulderstrength #infraspinatus #supraspinatus #subscapularis #posteriordeltoids #focus #trainsmart #ascendtoaesthetics #ascenttoaesthetics #theprehabguys https://www.instagram.com/p/BwX-x-HDbOh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ksfspqe4dayv

So I now know there something up with my left arm. I noticed something unusual while I was warming up with #bandpullaparts. The arm wouldn't go as far back as the right arm can. I blame myself and tears of constantly leaning on my left side without even paying attention to it. I will get this fixed. Good news is...look at those traps in the picture! The workout: #beltsquat 90x5x10, #overheadpress 90x6 and #deadlift 310x6. #unitedinstrength #strong #strength #nj #northjersey #igfitness #powerlifting #igpowerlifting #fullbodytraining #strongandshapelygym #nevergiveup #nevergivein #ificandoitsocanyou #njpowerlifting #newjersey #eastrutherford #beyond531 #wonkyarm #jimwendler #powerbodybuilding (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.")

band pull aparts....a great warmup exercise to establish a stronger mind to muscle connection in the back, especially in the lower trapezius muscle....this is essentially a band pull apart with a couple of subtle modifications: a suppinated grip to create external rotation of the shoulder, which is a better position to strengthen and activate the rotator cuffs, keeping them healthier. I begin the movement above the head and bring my arms down as I put the band apart....bringing the arms down trains scapular downward rotation, while pulling apart trains scapular retraction. reversing the motion in a controlled manner results in scapular protraction and upward rotation being involved in bringing the arms back up while pulling the hands back together....while the loading in this exercise is of course insufficient to overload the muscles and result in hypertrophy, the activation strengthens the mental connection to the muscle in the training session that follows, allowing you to contract the muscles harder, increasing tension on them which may then result in hypertrophy, the improved mental connection may also help improve your technique in your lifting, which will result in better activation of the muscles, improving your potential to make gains, with sufficiently challenging loads, or sufficient time under tension. . . . . . . . . . . #shouldermobility #scapularretraction #scapularprotraction #shoulderexternalrotation #rotatorcuffs #infraspinatus #supraspinatus #subscapularis #teresminor #lowertrapezius #trapeziusmuscle #mobility #mobilitytraining #mindmuscleconnection #backdevelopment #pushpullgrind #pullday #pullsession #bandpullaparts #glutebands #scapularupwardrotation #scapulardownwardrotation #prehabilitation #rehabilitation #shoulderrehabilitation #aesthetics #ascendtoaesthetics #ascenttoaesthetics #resistancebandstraining #resistancebandsworkout https://www.instagram.com/p/BwiCE_0jg20/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15z67uvpoc4s8

Either Tuesday mornings here are #internationalbenchday or everyone just wanted to get their stuff out of the way tomorrow. Either way, I found myself using the fat pad bench. Making sure I was lying straight on that thing was a bit of a pain. Here's the workout: #legpress 180x5x10, #benchpress 115x15 and #widegrippulldowns to the chest 50x5x10. All bench sets proceeded by #bandpullaparts. #unitedinstrength #strong #strength #nj #northjersey #igfitness #powerlifting #igpowerlifting #powerbodybuilding #eastrutherford #jimwendler #strongandshapelygym #newjersey #njpowerlifting #fullbodytraining #hardcoregyms #beyond531 #thompsonfatpad #nevergiveup #nevergivein #ificandoitsocanyou (at "Strong and Shapely Gym Inc.")
