The shoulder of a human being is made of three different bones, which are the humerus (upper arm bone), the clavicle (collarbone), and the scapula (shoulder blade). A shoulder joint is the most mobile joint of the human body, which also makes it far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints. To prevent shoulder injuries and strengthen the shoulder muscles, adding shoulder strengthening exercises in the daily workout session is a smarter way to keep those shoulders agile.
You shouldn’t be surprised to know that athletes and weightlifters along with desk job workers top the list of people who are more prone to shoulder injuries.
Have a look at some of the reasons for why shoulder injuries are common and recurrent in the life of athletes, weightlifters and desk workers.
Problems | Reasons for being in Desk Workers’ life | Reasons for being in Weight Lifters’ life | Reasons for being in Athletes’ life |
Joint Stability | Due to prolonged sitting in poor posture | Prone to imbalance | When instructions of movement patterns are not followed |
Joint Mobility | Prolonged sitting make joints stiff | Improper or lack of joint mobility warm-ups | Neglecting joint mobility drills |
Flexibility | Prolonged sitting causes passive fatigue | Lifters ‘skip’ stretching | Not applicable |
Grip Position | Lack in ergonomics & movements | Excessive overhead and bench pressing | Not applicable |
Warm Ups & Stretching
Revolve one arm at a time in a circular motion for a minute to stretch your body and prepare it for some serious workout. Be careful; do not jerk your muscles. Repeat with both arms.
