The face pull is a weight training exercise that primarily targets the musculature of the upper back and shoulders, namely the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, Latissimus dorsi as well as the biceps. [1] The face pull is considered an important exercise for shoulder health and stability. [2]
For example, while a traditional sit-up only engages the core in a single plane of motion, a workout with Russian twists (for rotational movement), lateral side bends (for side-to-side movement ...
The weight is lifted towards the hip until elbow bends past 90° and the humerus is in line with the back, then lowered to the original position. One arm barbell bent-over row: [1] Done in a nearly identical fashion as the one arm dumbbell, but with the added instability of a long bar. This necessitated greater work by the radial and ulnar ...
Muscle strength deficits in the lower trapezius muscles are also a common clinical finding in patients with rounded shoulders as it has been speculated to restrict zygapophyseal extension in the middle to lower thoracic spine. [36] Therefore, RSP treatment often targets the symptoms or root causes associated with these problem areas.
Standing side bends target your obliques directly while helping improve lateral stability. "Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in one hand.
In anatomy, flexor is a muscle that contracts to perform flexion (from the Latin verb flectere, to bend), [1] a movement that decreases the angle between the bones converging at a joint. For example, one's elbow joint flexes when one brings their hand closer to the shoulder, thus decreasing the angle between the upper arm and the forearm.
