Elbow And Shoulder Training For The Athlete
Share
September 8, 2025
When it comes to preparing or training your elbow or your shoulder, you want to have more than two, three, four, five, or six exercises that you do for those areas. You want to have a wide multitude of things or exercises and stimuli that you can throw at those areas to hit them in every different direction, way, and stimulus type that you can, right?
So, if you're continually going through the same four or five exercises every week and every week and every week and every week, understand that you're literally building your structure in a way which only handles those four or five exercises.
If instead of that, we can add in a wide multitude of things like impulses, joint moves, heavy loads, light loads, moving fast, moving slow, different directions, like all these different aspects that we can add in, that means we're preparing your system in a much wider and more resilient way.
Think of it as like a pathway. If you only have four or five exercises, you're on this very narrow pathway. Anything that stimulates you that's outside of the pathway is going to cause issues. If you build a very wide pathway with the way that you stimulate yourself, then you have a much wider pathway through which you can handle a lot more, and it's not going to present issues for you.
