Yeah overloading the nordic curl like this really ups the ante and makes your work the whole way otherwise you're in for a rough landing. I can rep out about 12 full regular nordics but can't get a concentric weighted rep with more than 10-20lbs just yet.

Hello there good sir

@@AaronButler66 if you're referring to full ROM push ups, sure it can be. But I usually only use it as a warm up, for rehab purposes (to reintroduce weight-bearing through the arms) or to specifically address scapular protraction if I think it's a weak point someone needs addressed.

Appreciate that brother! Always a work in progress!

@@TheoMackay indeed lol

Good luck man!

Thanks!

Yeah it has a nice feel to it, this room especially. I run my physical therapy clinic out of it

Believe me I'd love to throw more on. But my knee and shoulder can't handle it. I'm very incrementally building back up. Training to improve joint load tolerance is not the same as training to improve performance

@@BacktoBarbell no bro I'm not talking about the total weight. But it's more like you are practicing dancing with a barbell, which I think will create bad habits. Anyway, good luck!!!!

​@@Fabel555I don't exactly understand what you mean by dancing then. I'm also working with a coach so bad habits and technique is being addressed. But appreciate the well wishes

That depends on the specifics of the case. For some individuals, the extension of the head off the table can increase symptoms.

@@BacktoBarbell @BacktoBarbell I think for everyone who is suffering from cervical, extension of the head off the table can increase the symptoms.

For some people this exercise is inappropriate. However, there are many people who benefit from working in greater cervical extension by performing a retraction and allowing the neck to extend off the table. It's a matter of identifying who would benefit based on the specific context of their case.

I would not recommend doing this if you just had rotator cuff surgery. It could put too much stress on the repaired area too soon. You should find a rehabilitation professional in your area to help guide you. What you do depends on the type of rotator cuff surgery and the specifics of your situation.

It is strengthening certain muscles. Sometimes these muscles are the reason for pain in lifts like bicep curls and bench press

It can be a bit complicated to explain exactly why you would do this without a specific example. What the band does is give you something to push out against. By keeping the band tensioned you force some additional activation of the rotator cuff muscles. That said, sometimes you can substitute this for a regular press and it can help make pressing movements less painful. Other times I use this when I specifically want my clients to practice a pressing movement without letting the arms rotate inwards. I hope that helps!
