Do you have Weak Shoulders?

Whether it’s a pain in the shoulder joint or just overall lack of strength, typically the average gym goer will immediately start working their rotator cuffs to solve the problem.

However, there is a possible option that most skip over.

Having weak rear deltoids.

This muscle tends to either be put at the end of the workout or skipped entirely due to people not realizing it’s importance.

Underdeveloped rear deltoids can definitely cause some discomfort in the shoulder, as well as be a reason to why your strength isn’t as high as it should be.

So, if you’re trying to find a solution, I recommend starting with strengthening your rear deltoids first.

Whether this is through a Rear Delt Fly Machine or a Rear Delt Fly on a cable.

Both are fantastic options, just make sure to put them at the start of your workout.

This isn’t going to be the solution for every shoulder injury, however for very minor discomfort, this can sometimes be the quickest solution.

Timing Of Creatine

I’ve had a few people ask me this week about when to take their creatine.

Luckily there is an incredibly simple answer to this.

Anytime.

I typically say to those people that creatine is just like a vitamin you take in the morning.

You should be taking it consistently, but it doesn’t matter what time of day you take it.

Building the habit is the most important part, so typically people will take it at the same time everyday, just because it sets you up to avoid forgetting.

One Great Lat Exercise

This exercise is avoided for some reason but it truly is one of the best lat exercises out there.

The Assisted Pull-up Machine.

It’s stable, easy to take to failure, and easy to progressively overload.

Give it a try!
