Exercise and Weight Loss Tip #1: Why You Should Avoid Behind-the-Neck Exercises
Summary
Discover why it's crucial to steer clear of behind-the-neck exercises.Introduction
Years ago, I ignored advice against behind-the-neck exercises. The result? A worsening rotator cuff injury that serves as a constant reminder. It's much wiser to learn from others' mistakes than face the consequences yourself.
Understanding the Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff is a vital muscle at the back of your shoulder, essential for arm rotation. It's not designed to move excessively behind the head. Behind-the-neck exercises push this muscle beyond its natural range, often with added weight, increasing stress and risk of injury.
Risks of Behind-the-Neck Exercises
Performing these movements repeatedly can lead to muscle injury, inflammation, and swelling. This can cause painful conditions where the surrounding bone pinches the muscle. Chronic and painful, these should be avoided at all costs.
Seeking Better Alternatives
If your current routine includes behind-the-neck exercises, it's time to explore more shoulder-friendly options. Always prioritize your well-being by choosing safer exercises, even if they're suggested by friends or programs.
