Today, our rotator cuffs and upper back muscles are weaker
than ever, and this common issue poses a serious threat in the gym, where many
bodybuilders are looking to squat as heavy as possible and use overhead pressing to develop
strong upper bodies, disregarding the fact that these two compound exercises require a very tight and stable upper back.
Apart from the heavyweight and super heavyweight categories, these athletes generally are not bulky, but have very
strong muscles and bones — more so
than bodybuilders.
