Your leverage changes with each exercise. There are some positions where you are “weaker” and the dynamically changing force curve of each muscle at each position varies as the pattern progresses. Unique loading protocols and even elliptical cam designs can help keep muscles more evenly tensioned or target the load linearly to the lifter’s leverage, e.g. B. chains. Here we are using chains for Cuban presses and you will notice that as external rotation transitions into the press, the chain’s contribution to the load increases as the jack’s leverage improves. This also means that the load on the shoulders is less in the lower positions as the lifter transitions from upright rowing to external rotation.
When you start incorporating these exercises into your programs, you will immediately feel how good they make you feel and how hard you can train again WITHOUT pain. If you love pain-free, longevity-focused weight room training, check out the new Ageless Athlete 5.0 program!
