Description
Shoulder Exercises for Muscular Development will cover exercises for the shoulder joint and shoulder girdle that are aimed at muscular development and will detail the use of multiplanar movements to provide scalable progressions and regressions for the shoulder complex. Presenter J.A. Graves will discuss why training the shoulders matters for both athletes and the general population. You’ll get a deep look at the functional anatomical and biomechanical considerations of the muscles influencing the shoulder. You’ll then learn about the principles of hypertrophy and muscular development before diving into exercise selection and execution. Graves provides advanced strategies and practical tips for optimal programming, plus coaching and cueing strategies. You’ll come away with specific movement options and application tips you can start applying with your clients to build stronger, more developed shoulders.
