This week we are going to
work on some transverse plane movements.
In non-trainer-speak, that means stuff that twists. Twisting movements engage the oblique
abdominals, which assist us with balance and help define our waists. We also have a couple of moves that work
overhead, so if you have shoulder issues, feel free to modify as needed to
remain in your comfortable range of motion.
Modify, in this context, may mean not raising your arms as high, or it
may mean substituting a different exercise that works the same muscle groups
(e.g., kickbacks for skullcrushers), or it may mean choosing a different
exercise altogether (e.g., anything that gets the heart rate up for the
suitcase swings or lateral raises for Arnold presses). We only want the good kind of discomfort that
leads to growth, not the painful kind that means injury. Three rounds.
