Huge right? That may be so but they\u2019re STILL not big enough to save even the 6 time Mr.Olympia Phil Heath\u00a0 (guy in the picture above) from the number one gym injury.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably thinking: \u201c<em>Of course he can get injured, he\u2019s lifting very heavy weights that I\u2019d never lift<\/em>\u201d. I\u2019ll tell you that while it\u2019s true that you probably don\u2019t lift the same weight as Phil Heath, this injury can happen to ANYONE who is lifting what\u2019s considered heavy for <strong>their<\/strong> individual level of fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning that if you\u2019re a newbie who\u2019s pressing 30 lb. dumbbells over your head and that\u2019s what\u2019s heavy for you, then you\u2019re prone to this injury too.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s this injury I\u2019m talking about? It\u2019s a shoulder injury and it is absolute hell. Not just because of the pain that comes with having a shoulder injury but the activities it keeps you from doing. Imagine not being able to put your t-shirt over your head without pain or holding the steering wheel while driving for even short periods of time. And quite possibly the worst thing is; imagine going to the gym to train chest but your shoulder hurts after every single rep!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-697\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-Depressed.jpg\" alt=\"Bench Press Sad | Shoulder Injury\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-Depressed.jpg 1429w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-Depressed-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-Depressed-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bench-Press-Depressed-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everyone who\u2019s had a shoulder injury knows this feel.<\/p>\n<p>There is a solution though. And it involves training a specific group of muscles that no one ever talks about. Like EVER. It\u2019s a small group of muscles that\u2019s responsible for keeping everything in your shoulder joint stable which ultimately prevents pain.<\/p>\n<p>A group of muscles that are so important in fact, that if you didn\u2019t have them, your arms would literally be dangling from your body. So the more these muscles get weakened, the more your arms hang loose from your body, and the stronger they are, the more tightly connected to your body they get.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to start thinking about training in a new way. Not training JUST for aesthetics any more but for functionality, performance and safety as well because at the end of the day, if you end up like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-696\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shoulder-Injury-Cast.jpg\" alt=\"Shoulder Injury Cast | Shoulder Injury\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shoulder-Injury-Cast.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shoulder-Injury-Cast-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sebastianfitnesssolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Shoulder-Injury-Cast-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then it\u2019s back to square one again. And it can be avoided so easily by knowing what to do and <u>why<\/u> to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Be someone who trains smart. And your first step to doing that is by watching my video below where you\u2019ll learn how to train smarter and avoid the most common gym injury known to man.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }<\/style>\n<div class=\"embed-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VOvNe2WTJuc\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center>P.S. if you\u2019ve ever had a shoulder injury, comment below on how you got through it whether it was through physical therapy or just waiting until it went away.
