Bad shoulders with Bicept Curls
I have some asymetrical shoulder behavior that is happening when I do bicep curls with a bar. Happens with dumbells too I guess. As things get harder my left shoulder wants to raise up. Then, when it gets weakest it just drops completely and I can't finish the set.
Any suggestsions? Should I just drop weight and try and let my shoulders catch up? The rest of my form is right. Just something with the shoulders.
Probably not enought information for you to truly help me but maybe there are some tips off the top of your head I could try.
Your trap is too tight on the side that your shoulder raises up. Dont forget that the main function of the traps is to raise the shoulder. So what happens is your shoulder gets raised for the majority of the set and then the trap dies off so your shoulder drops and you cant complete your set. Start stretching your tight trap and keep in mind that tight biceps and chest can contribute to tightening of the traps so start stretching those too. 2 times a day should be good to see quick results.
That's great advise.
I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but that side of my neck is always tight. I get it out of wack when I sleep a lot.
There are a lot of stretches listed on the web in various places but I'm a little leary of some of the tips people give out there that don't know what they are doing.
Is there a link on this site, other sites or a simple explanation of great stretches to do?
I'll be interested to see if this starts to help my neck overall as well.
Thanks Whisper
Funny, You should mention this about testosterone. I did my own study on myself, not most scientific, but very interesting to me that supports what you are saying. Mine went down more than that after 2-weeks of stress, lack of sleep, too much coffee, and etc.
Can't wait to see the video!!
@Scott_Herman Hey Scott I read a peer reviewed paper a couple of months back on exactly this matter and a correlation between the usage of electronics before going to bed. It basically stated that the light that comes from your phone, laptop etc is bright enough to disrupt your brain (basically tricking your circadian clock) and keeping you awake. The way to combat this is to stop using electronics an hour before your desired tone of sleep. So give that one a shot :)
I have the same bad habit.
When I went to buy a new bed they told that I could make my bedroom/bed a place where I wanna go to.
You wouldn't wanna go to a messy bedroom/bed. Just like the beach, it's a place where you go to relax.
If you change the color of your bedroom, bedsheets, scent (buy some glade scented candles) basically the whole vibe of your bedroom.
You will trick your mind into wanting to go to bed early. (because it's a place where you wanna go to relax your mind and body)
PS don't sleep with lights on or music on.
That is very true @FireFistAce... I think once I finish my bedroom I will sleep better. Still need to paint the walls and buy a few things
Oh awesome @kyleConnelly, that sounds about right haha.. I will put that info to good use! #HTH #SHFAthlete
