After my high transfers video, a lot of you asked about my shoulders. Fair question. I lift my whole body with them every day, then push thousands of strokes on top of that. So here are the four moves I do to keep them strong and healthy.
Pushing builds the front of your shoulders. These four exercises build the back. That balance is what keeps them working in the long term.
Seated rows
Pull downs
One-arm dumbbell rows

Reverse cable flies. Deceptively difficult. Never need to go very heavy. I can never reach the bar/handles on a lay pulldown machine, so I do pull ups. Wheelchair users can use either a bar in a squat rack or smith machine to adjust a bar to the right height.
