CUNY TV Interview

Posted by: Brad in Exercise

Here is an interview I did for CUNY TV about my recent SCJ article on the upright row as well as other exercise-related topics. Hopefully the message resonates!

    That was very well done, Brad!

    I love how you squeezed in the evidence based approach in there too!

    Nice video Brad.

    With respect to improper exercises: I heard the following exercise described as dangerous. Although I don’t view the source as an authority, I feel the comment warrants investigation. Would a shoulder shrug (shoulder girdle elevation), performed with the cable rope attachment; set in the lowest height position; soft knees; hands held behind the back and below the waist; in a neutral grip; be considered a contraindicated exercise?

    I realize proper form would be a major determinant, but accepting proper form as a given, is there anything inherently wrong with this activity? The goal is to develop the trapezius.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Anoop. EBP is essential for any fitness professional. Can’t emphasis it enough.

    Hey Charles:

    I don’t see why the shrug would be contraindicated. Would need more explanation as to a reason to better evaluate the claim. But again, in almost every case it comes down to the individual’s needs, abilities, and limitations.
