quote:

The main muscle I would like to focus on today is the supraspinatus. The supraspinatus is probably one of the most common muscles to exhibit dysfunction and baseball shoulder injuries in athletes, particularly baseball players. It is a relatively small muscle that is part of the rotator cuff and acts as a dynamic stabilizer to help elevate the shoulder and hold it in the socket.

Its function among baseball players is to also help decelerate the throwing arm towards the end of the range of motion. Just imagine the stress that it undergoes from just one game! Often it's a primary pain generator in the shoulder for athletes and non athletes alike. It is often assumed in the strength and condition world that to make the supraspinatus stronger, we must load the muscle. WRONG!! That's old school. This is a resilient muscle that requires fine tuning like a race car engine. Let's think new school people!

I think I already have elsewhere. Dr. Eng obviously doesn't know anything about presses.
