Any views on dips in regard to shoulder health?
Very good talk with plenty of useful info. As a fitness swimmer (who also loves to swim with paddles for that HIT feel LOL) I was wondering what the takeaway here is as all the different strokes require the elbows to fully extend over the head?
An interesting and informative podcast. I was surprised however at the recommendation NOT to do lateral raises. I have heard concerns over overhead presses and upright rows, but not lateral raises, apart from the recommendation not to internally rotate the arm as in the water jug pouring method.
I do the exercise, but lying on the floor on my side, one arm at a time. I keep the arm in the scalar plane, slightly in front of my torso and the ROM is relatively small. My arm doesn’t get abducted any further than 45 degrees away from my torso, and on the return I don’t let it rest against my side. My TUL is about 60 seconds so the weight used is not excessive.
Would Party consider this to be still problematical dangerous in the long term, or is this a safe(r) alternative? Is it the abduction motion of the arm with resistance that is the problem? Or is there an issue with how high the arm is raised, perhaps causing impingment issues?
