Hey Jeff, how's it going? I have a few questions since recently I managed to some how damage a tendon on my left shoulder and was wondering what could have lead to that. I'm 17 years old (140 pounds) have been exercising for about 3 months and haven't had any problems until now. I normally work on my upper body by benching (100 pounds, 2 sets of 10 max, using dumbbells (20 & 25 pounders) to do regular curls, hammer curls, and over head exercises to work on my triceps (same 2 sets of 10 reps. I also do push ups (around 50) and pull ups (around 20) per session. Yes, I do warm up for 10-15 minutes or so and stretch as well. So what could it be? Am I using too much weight for a person that weighs 140 pounds? Or Am I over doing it by exercising every 3 days (only been doing for the past month. I want to be able to do all of this once again since I've gotten stronger and have toned my body ever since but I'm scared since I've read these are the beginning stages of a blown out rotator cuff which I don't want. Last time I exercised was just yesterday, don't plan to for the next 2 weeks (well if the pain is gone by then) I try to use the correct posture for every exercise but guess I'm doing something wrong. I'm new to all of this so please take it easy on me and help me out as best as you can. Thanks in advance.

My triceps always tired out first whenever I do the straight-arm pulldown (which I've only ever done with a cable machine as a back exercise, even though I focus on not moving my elbow or upper arm. I feel it the most when I at the bottom of the movement where my hands are near my hips. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? If I am doing something wrong, any suggestions for how to improve my form to feel this more in the back rather than the triceps?

So I am 14 years old and I eat very healthy and I'm motivated to continue doing so but the problem I'm having is I don't think that I'm eating enough. In school I can't eat in class only time I can is lunch so if I'm trying to get a 6 pack I need more meals less proportion right well how am I supposed to do this if I'm not able to have the proper amount of meals each day. Can someone please help me with this problem.

Yes, please do body weight exercises. I have a bit of scapular winging and scapular protraction. I do street workouts which is mostly pushing, and pulling movements. I do the crossovers and punching exercises with the resistance bands, but my body is used to them. I've been doing them for 2 years now. Can you please do a video on body weight exercises that can help with scapular winging and scapular protraction?

Hey Jeff, I'm actually a student physical therapist and in the clinic I use lion drills with serratus anterior activation (basically, the motion to push the butt into the heels is resisted with the scaps -reset- to the serratus lengthened position. Since this exercise seems to utilize similar mechanics I was wondering if you thought this would actually be a good progression for serratus anterior activation?

i doubt the exercise target the clavicular head of the pect major. the clavicular head performs shoulder flexion, horizontal adduction and internal rotation. the sternal head perform shoulder extension, horizontal adduction and internal rotation. this is definitely a great exercise for the sternal head, serratus anterior, core and lats co- contraction

Jeff please! (or anybody who knows) The Athlean meal plan, is it low carb or medium carb based? (surely high protein) Or neither. If its neither, what is it and how will it assist me to create a deficit or weight lose (with exercise) Please explain. You are amazing but this subject confuses me as to what your meals are based on.

Dont agree with the position of arms, I think the lower your arms is, that means the lower angle is in shoulder abduction, the higher muscle fibres of m. pectoralis major will work. (sorry for my bad english: D) I dont wanna troll but I know this from school so answer me if Im bad please so I can improve my knowledge: )
