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.

ReplyDeleteis this the same exercise as a reverse fly wher you lay face down on an incline bench and use dumbels.
Cheers
Thanks for the videos
Pinku, you need to be able to view youtube in order watch the video. If you can't access youtube then try going to: http://www.metacafe.com/channels/leehayward/
ReplyDeleteNik, it is similar in that it works the same muscles, but the rubber band and dumbbells feel different. Try both variations and see which one you like the best.
ReplyDeletelee this exercise using the band works the rear delts great.
ReplyDeleteIt is best to try these preventive measures during workouts.
ReplyDeleteVery good exercise. Please keep your head up and back all the time ... ;-)
