When it comes to achieving peak physical performance or pushing yourself
to the extreme limits of endurance, what do you think is the most important
part of your physiology? The ultimate arbiter of performance is actually
situated right between your ears. Thats right: its your brain.

Weve all heard of hand-eye coordination but rarely do we hear of body-eye
coordination. The body adapting to a dysregulated sensor such as the
extraocular muscles of the eyes often causes the observed osteopathic
lesions and subluxations. As such, a convergence defect can immediately
result in a tilting of the shoulder and pelvis.

Degenerative Disc Disease is caused by irregular oblique and torsion
constraints and pressure on the intervertebral discs. An intervertebral disc
has a lamellar structure that acts as a super shock absorber. The discs can
absorb shock in every dimension of space, however, they do not perform well
when in torsion. What causes a disc to be in torsion? A postural imbalance!

Proper posture and good eye alignment are two of the most important
elements of a consistent golf swing.
Eye exercises can immediately benefit the everyday golfer and widespread
performance breakthrough in putting. If your eyes arent converging properly,
chances are that your shoulders are misaligned when you putt.

The eye is not only an element of vision; it is also (with the foot) one of the
most important receptors in the postural system. When muscles that move
the eyes are out of balance, perception of the environment changes, and the
entire body attempts to compensate for that phenomenon. In doing so, shifts
and rotations of the shoulders and pelvis occur and postural alignment
suffers.

Stabilizing muscles such as the rotator cuff is under the dependence of the
involuntary motor system. They are in close contact with the joints and
contain a high amount of type I muscle fibers. They are built for endurance.
Attempting to recruit these muscles via exercise means the superficial
muscles will kick in first and take over. Attempting to train stabilizers is a
waste of time.

Guys...
Did you ever actually pick up a dumbell and try to train your external rotators?
Or did you ever do heavy military presses for reps?
7 May at 18:25 Like 1
Vlad Padina No really, you should try it sometimes.
And you should try the bodybuilding concept of creating a mind-muscle
connection.
[this was a very polite way of saying this article is almost completely wrong, and
provably so]

Vlad Padina I mean, if your infraspinatus doesn't contract when doing external
rotations, and you don't feel it working, it probably means it's inhibited and other
muscles are taking over.

Vlad Padina Look, you said the IS and TM won't work during isolated external
rotations, but rather the posterior delt will take most of the weight.
For some weird reason, I can thoroughly work my infraspinatus and teres minor,
feel the "burn" in them while working, and feel the soreness the next day.
And no, they are not "weak", I can use 15 lb for 10 reps on strict external rotations
with the arm near the body, and about the same for strict external rotations, and I
can also overhead press w/o any pain.

Brett Jones I think this can boiled down in this way:
strength and stability are different
stability is reflex driven
just because you "feel" a muscle working doesn't mean it will fire when it is
needed to fire
The feed forward tension of strength training is not the reflex activity needed to get
the "stabilizers" to fire in the "correct" sequence
When stabilizers fire first only 20-30% of their MVC is needed - when they don't
then the prime movers "take over"
All of this depends on joint angle etc... in defining what is "stabilizing" at a
particular point and what is "prime moving" etc....
Train stabilizers allowing for a proprioceptively rich environment where the reflex
activation can be encouraged is the way to go IMO

Vlad Padina " Simply put, if you can see a muscle, it is made to move you. If you
cant, its made to stabilize you. "
The infraspinatus is as visible as the biceps brachii, and very hypertrophyable.
The teres minor is visible. Both can get sore after direct, and indirect training.
Training both directly helped some people get much stronger and get rid of
shoulder pain.
Maybe it was expected that readers read between the lines.

But the article says some things which, in the way they were stated, can be easily
proven wrong.
I am not competent in neurology - this I will admit - but the article makes
assertions about mechanics, which are somewhat unfounded.
Can the author tell us how long would an average lever arm for the posterior delt
be, and how long for the infraspinatus?
7 May at 22:32 Edited Like
Vlad Padina Also, the infraspinatus seems to have better lever arm for external
rotation than the posterior delt, and a much better line of pull, especially when the
arm is not abducted.
7 May at 22:38 Edited Like 1
Mat Boule Hi Vlad! I have been known to pick up a DB or two in my youth. I'll
address your first concept: the mind-muscle connection. For the mind-muscle
connection to take place, you need an involvement of the frontal lobe (motor
cortex). This is occuring everytime you move a limb. In that respect, it is not a
bodybuilding concept, it is basic neurophysiology. The question is not whether the
infraspinatus contributes to the ER fo the shoulder or not. The question is that,
based on levers and mechanical advantage, it contributes far less than the rear
deltoid. That's physics, not an opinion. Feeling a burning sensation in a specific
muscle the next day can mean the muscle contributed to the effort. It does not
stipulate if that muscle was acting as a stabilizer, as suggested in the blog, or a
mobilizer (the common belief and I did say belief). I understand that you can
see the infraspinatus and the teres minor. The idea was to graphically position
muscles superficial versus deep. The superficial ones are more easily spotted
and are further away from the joint axis. They are, if only for that reason, better
mobilizers and will mobilize more, any day, than the deeper muscles.

Vlad Padina Mat, the concept is that you concentrate on the muscle, not the
movement. Recent EMG measurements (will post the article today; it was written
by Bret Contreras) have shown a great difference in activation when the focus
shifts from the movement to the contraction of the specific muscle.

Posture Pro The rear deltoid actually has a lot more lever arm for ER of
shoulder than infraspinatus. A such, for rear deltoid to perform in ER, you need
the infraspinatus and teres minor to stabilize the joint. That being said, the deltoid
is a phasic muscle and the infraspinatus and teres minor are tonic. The idea of
the blog was to raise awareness as to the fact that these muscles serve
complementary yet different functions.

Mat Boule The rear deltoid (origin and insertion) sits further away from the GH
join than the infraspinatus or teres minor. Since these muscles all perform some
ER, the rear deltoid has the greatest lever, therefore, it has the mechanical
advantage.

Vlad Padina So if the rear delt would insert near the elbow, it would have a
greater mechanical advantage?

Mat Boule If the rear deltoid attached closer to the elbow that to the deltoid
tuberosity, it would, indeed, have a greater lever length that it already does. It
would give it more torque around the GH joint to perform ER of the shoulder.
