match that angle and you’re all set.
| drop one pulley to low position and use wrist cuff with hook
to inside of wrist – full tension through entire raise
with cable tension.
3 sets : 10 to 15 | 10 to 15
OVER EZ BAR REAR DELT PULLBACK
cable height set at shoulder height in standing position. cuffs worn
with hooks to inside of wrist. | grip is
just outside shoulder width and you can pull this one through
as far as your shoulders can go. goal here is max shoulder
extension – you’ll have to fight to get that. may need light
db’s instead of a bar also for lighter weight. might hear some cracking
and popping as your shoulders break through some jammed
up tissues.
3 sets : 10 to 15 | 10 to 12
3. SEATED SINGLE ARM DB SHOULDER
PRESS ACROSS
1 warm up set

overhead.
3 sets : 6-6-6
1 set : bilateral 15 to 20
4. INCLINE BB BENCH PRESS
set bench incline at 45 degrees and use
a just outside shoulder width pronated grip. now,
let the bar come as low on your chest as you can
into more shoulder extension. this will dramatically
make the lift harder and loading lighter. press up into
an arcing motion.

width grip and press from the chin to top position only
until failure
