    How to improve shoulder and rotator cuff conditioning (e.g. Cuban rotations)

    @bibbigo I agree that modern-day living already has a bias towards IR. More often, people have trouble with ER and proper scapular stabilization, and need to be extra mindful of that (this is a very common theme that physios work on with patients).

    Can’t stop binging carbs after I’ve started heavier strength exercises?

    @nannyo12 Makes sense! Stress can def trigger these cravings, plus carbs are the natural/go-to energy source for us so also makes sense that you're wanting more now that you've increased the amount of work your muscles are doing!

    Anyone here gone to a physical therapist for shoulder pain? Can they discover the problem without an X-ray?

    22(F) : Underweight with a big belly

    @yahunatan Hey there! Unrelated to weight but related to having a belly-- figure out if you have anterior pelvic tilt when you're standing & not thinking about engaging anything differently from how you normally stand. Having APT makes it look like your butt & belly stick out more than they...

    Workout Routine

    @anthonyinalabama As a total beginner, you'll definitely see some results just starting, but-- is that optimal? Not really.. that's a loooot of bicep curls and no lower body! Biceps actually aren't that big of a muscle group, so much so that generally they're considered isolation work as a...

    Classic handbalancing/calisthenics books in PDF now free online

    @nezumi Handbalancing is a performing art in the circus world (and I haven't heard anyone call it arm balancing). You could tell a handbalancer to do a handstand, and they'll probably ask which one :P
