INSTANTLY INCREASE GRIP STRENGTH!
Doing small, consecutive bursts of high in intense muscle contraction, will increase your immediate strength through a mechanism called post activation potentiation.
Want to keep your increased strength? Just make it a habit to squeeze those fists whenever you’ve got free time and your body will learn to use the muscle you have more efficiently with every single rep!

WHAT’S SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT ➡️ in a simple way, shoulder impingement is when soft tissues of the shoulder get caught between the shoulder blade and the upper arm during movement
HOW DOES THIS HELP ➡️ these two exercises teach your shoulder blade and your upper arm to move in better unison, so that other tissue (like rotator cuff tendons) don’t get pinched between the two bones.
EXERCISE TIPS
1️⃣ perform these movements slowly so that your muscles and nervous system can learn how to move safely and comfortably
2️⃣ Strength is position specific, so move through as full of range of motion as you can comfortably
3️⃣ Choose a load where you could do 15–25 repetitions, this load will be heavy enough to challenge your muscles and nervous system, without irritating the tissues of the shoulder further

This Thing is Synonymous with Range of Motion
🔑 Your brain controls your movement and mobility, based on the relative strength of all the joints in the body
🔑 Therefore, if you have more strength at all your joints, you will have more mobility
💪 Visiting end range positions when you exercise, and doing it under appropriate resistance (whether that’s at your bodyweight or with additional weight) is the best way to improve your mobility

Reverse Deadlift
🔑 by using a cable stack and a straight bar, we change the physics of the dead lift as a way to push down on resistance, instead of pull it up off the ground.
🔑 this exercise is fantastic for people that have a hard time bending and picking things up off the floor. it teaches the body to still move through the positions of picking something up, but using resistance in a different direction.
🔑 often, weakness in the back can be attributed to hip and trunk flexors that aren’t strong enough to support the core.
🔑 this exercise doesn’t need to be done, heavily, or to failure, two sets, three times a week, for 10 to 15 easy repetitions can do wonders for your body
Thanks to @drummechanics for the inspiration

What are “central pattern generators”?
🤔 these are clusters of nerves in a network, located in your spine and brain stem that can autonomously generate rhythmic movements, even without feedback from the brain.
🧠 these vital pathways can be hindered by injuries to the spinal cord.
😄 with exercise, you can strategically improve the strength and output of these networks, to make things like walking, running, and swimming a lot easier.
💪 stronger central pattern generator networks likely mean an increase in endurance, and ease of movement, necessary to enjoy active aging, especially after an injury!

Why Your Muscles Stay Tight 🤔
🔑 Muscled don’t stretch, they contract. And so if somethings tight, the key is to get other things, contracting, better rather than stretching the tight thing out.
🔑Challenge your muscles with resistance training, bodyweight exercises, isometrics, through as FULL RANGE OF MOTION as possible. Be safe, and your muscles will thank you.
