Hoping you can answer/help as I not been to the gym for 4 days since yet.
I pulled the back of my shoulder muscle last week doing side raises. Have slight pain in trap and rear delts area.
Since that I lost 50 percent strengh in my left side doing bench and curls. Bench was like a wobble arm I couldnt hold stright and curls I just couldn't do it. Even 20 kg I do 10 times for warm up I couldnt pull. (I normaly finish 30kg 10 times on curls. And that's strict no arm movement or jerking)
I had physio and he said he felt my one of my rear shoulder muscles wasnt firing but was after the phisyo.
Do rear shoulder problems or trap affect curls like that. Just after another view as I just cant get my head around it all. Cheers
I got home from. work till sunday so wont know if physio has worked till then. So cant stop running my head around it.

Thats a great video, many ppl just see big bodybuilders using the heavy weight, so by watching them they think if they are able to work with that weight, they get as big as they are. They are working out their ego but not their muscles, the biceps isn't really a big muscle group, so it don't really need heavy weight and if somebody is able to really hit the biceps with a workout, they will notice that they don't need heavy weights.
I always say, if you do biceps curls, than elbows near to your body and they doesn't move, shoulders back and than just flex the biceps without swinging the back.
So doing some strict curls would be a good help to do that right

WOW THANK YOU JEFF! I started lifting some months ago and I noticed that my left bicep was very slightly, like BARELY peaking more then right. I was confused because my right arm is my dominant one and because some muscles like my right forearm and right tricep were slightly larger so why not also the bicep? Also I noticed while doing curls, that it looked like my trapezius on the right side was more involved with the curl then on my left side, I decided to push my right arm farther back while doing curls and now it-s fixed! Thanks, now my right bicep is looking a lot better

There is also another way. During flexion, slightly tightening the wings and back muscles to hold and stop your upperarms from moving either forward or backward and to puff your chest out a little bit upwards, hence your forearms are coming up a little bit from the outsides instead of from the inside or the front. That significantly decreases pressure on the frontal deltoid and distributes the entire flexion in your biceps aided with a bit of contribution of back muscles and hind shoulder muscles.

First off, THANK YOU Jeff! At 55 I-ve been working out for 40 years. I-ve been reading muscle magazines and the etc. I-ve been watching Jeff-s video for. A little over 3 months. I-ve learned more in those 3 months than in my entire 40 years working out. I recommend everyone to AthleanX. I workout 6 days. Week and because of Jeff-s expertise I-m now working out with a more fit and smarter movement patterns while utilizing healthier muscle movements than I have in my entire life.

I'm a beginner and my biceps fatigue way too fast. I did bicep curls with 15 lbs as my working set. I do 7 1/2 lbs. To start warming up and do 12 reps, then I went for another warmup set with the same weight and my biceps completely burned out and I was like what the hell? So then I just did the one warmup set with 7 1/2 and went straight to my working set of 15 lbs. And I only was able to do like 6 before they burned out completely. What the hell is the problem?

I have found that it highly useful (physically demonstrative) to take a small barbell (say 20 lbs) and then stand with heels, butt, back, shoulders, head, against a wall, if only as a demonstration of how much one might learn about how one leans in posture or swing the arms during the curling movement. Thanks for all your efforts, Jeff.

Please do an asthma compensation exercise, Sir Cavaliere. It would be a lifesaver.
Its less intense asthma attack and more a sustained inflammation and consistent wounding of the airways from said inflammation and pulse rate increasing to compensate for the lower breathing efficiency.
