    Side deltoids and trapezius with more of what you need and less of what you don't...

    Wide shoulders with a matching and balanced set of trapezius muscles is just what the doctor ordered. I like performing the wide grip barbell upright rows, as it really gives me a magnificent and simultaneous pump in both my side deltoids and trapezius muscles, however my left shoulder is not in...

    Release the tension in your hamstrings to relieve the pain from your lower back

    Tight gluteal and hamstring muscles can place a lot of stress on your lower back. So even though you feel the pain directly in your lower back region, its origin and cause is more often than not lies within your back side and hamstring muscles. I find a stretch is not enough, or at least not...
