If you don’t spend time learning this movement, you miss a key step in building strength. Motor recruitment & control are the cornerstone for showcasing your strength.
•
If you don’t have good control of your joints, you can’t set them up to produce force.
•
Strength is merely ex*****on of a skill. A skill is your ability to perform an exercise.
•
The exercise you perform determines where you build muscle.
•
The key takeaway here is that you can only build strength through recruiting the target area in the correct order.

Poor movement patterns repeated over and over lead to niggles/ injuries over time. Rotator cuff injuries don’t come from weak rotator cuff muscles.

They are the result of poor movement patterns and incorrect muscle recruitment.
•
Injuries such as golfers and tennis elbow often arise from a lack of stability around a joint such as the shoulder or elbow.

Moving better fixes injuries. Rehab exercises are designed to make you stronger in that movement patterns, not strengthen the ‘weak muscle’
•
It’s not weak, you’re just not recruiting those muscles in the optimal order for pain free efficient movement.

The injured area heals from moving correctly which in turn makes it stronger.
