Row Exercise With The MostFit™ Resistance Tube

 

Row Exercise With The MostFit™ Resistance Tube

Check out this row exercise with The MostFit™ Resistance Tube. The row exercise is one of my favorite postural exercises that I give to most of my patients that suffer from neck, back, or shoulder pain.  Computer posture - that crappy posture people have who regularly spend more than a few hours in front of the computer - puts our scapulae in a protracted position.  In this position, our rhomboids and mid traps are lengthened, and have a hard time firing optimally.  A stronger mid-back helps give you the ability to spend hours in front of the computer with better posture.  Combine rows with “W’s” for more postural muscle strength and endurance training.

Back Squat Exercise With MostFit™ SYN Rings

 

Back Squat Exercise With MostFit™ SYN Rings 

The back squat is one of the best total body exercises that can be done. While your quads, glutes, and hamstrings are the primary movers, all the muscles that help keep your spine rigid, especially the spinal extensors in this case, have to be working at full capacity.  If these muscles are not strong enough or are not doing their job, your spine will collapse quicker than a stack of Jenga blocks with a 2 year old, and you'll be lucky if you can peel yourself off the ground without a major injury.  

Stability Training With Weightlifting Bar Weight Attachments

MostFit™ SYN Rings take the back squat to a whole new level of intensity.  With a regular back squat, your body only has to deal with a load in one direction - down.  Throw on the Syn Rings and now your body has to stabilize against forces going in all directions.  This ramps up the excitability of the nervous system, which engages more muscle, leading to bigger strength gains, more calories burned, and plateaus crushed.  Try a set of these with 50-65% of your 1-rep-max before you lift heavy, and see how much lighter the weights feel once your nervous system has been primed.

Stability Chest Press Exercise Using MostFit™ SYN Rings

 

 

 Stability Chest Press Exercise Using MostFit™ SYN Rings 

"International Chest Day" Mondays just got a little more intense with the MostFit™ SYN Rings.  While the chest press is an excellent exercise to work your pectoralis major/minor, triceps complex and anterior deltoid, why not throw some serratus anterior, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis in there too?  Oh yeah, don't forget transversus abdominus, rectus abdominus, multifidi, and your internal and external obliques!

The MostFit Syn Rings turns your ordinary chest press into a whole new beast. The Syn Rings change the game by making an exercise with a force vector in only one direction - down - into an exercise that requires you to resist forces in every direction to prevent the bar from ripping your shoulder out of the socket and giving you a nice dent across the face when the bar lands on it.  This means more neural activation to more muscle fibers in your spinal and shoulder stabilizers, not just the prime movers.  Try a set of these with 50-65% of your 1-rep-max before you lift heavy, and see how much lighter the weights feel once your nervous system has been primed.
