This week's SuppVersity figure(s) of the week deal with the leading cause of death in the USA (see paper attached to the guy's big toe ;-). After reading yesterday's installment of the Science Round-Up Seconds, you already know that it is unlikely that you are going to die from prostate cancer.... but let's face it - we all are going to die one day, so if your death is not natural and not due to prostate cancer? What's going to the reason? Well, according to the latest CDC data you, my American friends are going to die from heart disease - ok, not you, a devoted follower of physical culturist, but the average American a devoted follower of Dr. Oz and the sedentary way of living, has an 0.2‰ chance of dying from heart disease and following one of the 597,689 victims the Western way of life claimed in 2010 (CDC. 2011) Chest presses on an unstable surface - A new staple exercise?

Image 1: A 1990 study by Lo et al. reports that 43.8% of athletes who are competing in sports with upper arm involvement complain about shoulder problems, 29% with constant pain (Lo. 1990)! If you are thinking about sex, lies, ex-presidents and obese interns at the White House, when you hear the word "impingement" your language proficiency is not the best and / or you are one of those guys (or girls) who prefers his gossip weekly over the latest issue of a fitness, let alone a bodybuilding magazine (unlikely for SuppVersity students, but who knows?). If you don't belong to this group and / or have just begun to massage your aching shoulder, however, the results of a recently published study on the effectiveness of a 6-week scapular muscle rehabiliation exercise regimen that was specifically designed to alleviate the pain and improve the limited flexibility of athletes with mild to moderate shoulder impingement could be of great interest to you. The scientifically pr...

SuppVersity EMG Series - M. Deltoideus, M. Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus and Teres Minor: The Very Best Exercises for Broad Shoulders and Capped Delts

Written by | published on

Image 1: The muscles of the deltoids (red) on the front (left) and back (right) of the body and the rotator cuff (violett), the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. I don't know about you, but somehow I feel sad that this is already the last installment of the SuppVersity EMG Series . While it certainly was a hell lot of work to compile all the information, I am very pleased that (a few exceptions aside) you, the 'students' of the SuppVersity; appreciate and put into practice some of the information, I am putting out here. That being said, it is actually quite fitting that the series ends on a body part, even bodybuilders hardly ever stop fine-tuning: the complex musculature of the shoulder, the anterior, lateral and posterior part of the m. deltoideus, also known as the pars clavicularis , which attaches to the clavicle , the pars acromialis attaching to the acromion and the pars spinalis that is directly attached to the spina scapulae ,...
