Muscle Up With The Pec Punisher
Most guys are unaware that if their goal is muscle hypertrophy (to make your muscles bigger), much of that muscle growth is created from the negative portion of the rep, when you’re controlling the resistance against gravity – often the lowering portion of the movement. But the negative can also put a lot of injury-inducing stress on the shoulder joints.
For example, the barbell bench press is one of the most popular chest exercises, yet you constantly see guys grab their shoulder after finishing a set. This movement can be quite dangerous, as you’re compromising the shoulder by compressing the joint capsule. Moreover, when you lie flat on a bench and begin lowering the weight, you disrupt your scapula’s normal biomechanics, which also puts unnecessary stress on the shoulder.
