Hi, everybody! Kevin Weiss from bodyperformance.net. Today we're gonna talk about a very simple exercise that you can do for your shoulders and upper back that is gonna really help you out in the long term if you do it in a regular basis. To help to alleviate some shoulder pain that you already might be having or kinda head off any shoulder pain you could have in the future. If you’re doing much bench pressing, overhead pressing, really, pretty much any type of upper body pressing. Eventually, you’re probably gonna have some sort of shoulder pain, if you’re an athlete you throw a ball, you throw a punch, all of these things can lead to some shoulder pain, so the face pulls are really easy, excellent exercise that you can do. If you do it on a regular basis with very simple equipment it’s gonna help you out. So, I just wanna demonstrate a few options that you have with this, and the first one is the machine, which not everyone is gonna have access to this, not everyone has one of these in their homes. But if you’re going to a commercial gym, there’s pretty good chance that you will have this. What I will say though is make sure that the strap is long enough, if you have something like this that is shorter, it doesn’t allow you the range of motion that you want. So, just to demonstrate with the strap like this, I want it to be long enough, so that when I pull, my arms can come to a natural position like this, you don’t want them to be kept in like that. So I just bought from, I don’t even remember where. But it was long enough; I could hook my fingers in it. This exercise is not meant to be done with a lot of weight, you’re looking at doing probably twenty to thirty maybe as high highest is fifty reps per set. And I like to start my work out with a couple of hundred reps of it, and then I’ll usually end my work out with a couple of hundred reps of it too. So I did post a program, a little warm up program for shoulders that I do as well, but I can’t do that every day because it does take up some time. So this is something that you can do anywhere. I’m gonna show off the other option; you don’t have to be in the gym to do it. So, just to demonstrate with this, I just tuck a couple of fingers over that and then I just want to pull somewhere between your nose and your eyes. And it should be just nice smooth pulls like this. It isn’t about moving a ton of weight where in you’re jerking it back and your head is shooting forward as you’re trying to get it. Your body is basically staying still and just your arms moving as you’re contracting up your back. So, if you dont have the option of one of these machines and I carry one of these bands around in my gym bag, so for a jujitsu I can use it before to warm up, but you can do it anywhere. These bands are incredibly cheap, same thing you just grab it, give yourself a little bit of space with it, and then you do the same thing, pull to your chin, pull to your nose, pull to your eyes, somewhere in that range, and it’s just nice and smooth like this. You could do this anywhere, so it’s a really good option there. This is a band that’s just a regular band; you could also use one that has handles like this that would work just fine too. The last option that I’ll show, that’s good is the TRX, or some sort of suspension trainer like this. Same idea, set yourself up, angle yourself back, so that you would have some resistance, so at the top you’re basically very slightly angled back, and just pull to your eyes, nose, whatever, nice and smooth, just trying to keep it controlled and moving, and squeezing that upper back. So, that’s a ton of different options you that you could do for this exercise, and they’re all good, and I recommend that you do it, as every once you can, but like I said high reps and you could do them often, you can do this every day, so even you get to decide, okay I’m gonna do a hundred of these before my work out every day, if you do that it’s gonna help you a lot with your shoulder pain that you might already been having or for shoulder pain that’s coming for you in the future. Kevin Weiss from bodyperformance.net, I hope this helps you out, I’ll talk to you again soon.
