Infraspinatus and main lifts
Hi Rip,
I wanted to ask you about the role of the infraspinatus in the main lifts, specifically in the bench press and press, and in auxiliary ex. like dips. Is it just stability?
The nervous insertions of my left infraspinatus are damaged, due to an accident, accordingly the infraspinatus is atrophied. I notice it specially doing external rotation, so I was wondering about how it would affect the movements above mentioned. Currently I'm already microloading on the Press @ 119 lbs for fives. For what it's worth I'm 5.8/5.9, 189 lbs; Squat currently 297 lbs for fives moving up to previous max at 330 lbs.
Thanks,
Florian
