If you’re like most people, including myself, starting a diet or just “eating clean” can be very hard.  Here are a few tips to make things a little bit easier on yourself.

If the humerus is not centered in that socket there is very little stability, which increases the risk of injury to the surrounding muscles and tendons.  As we got older we took what we learned from doing pushups in gym class and applied it to the bench press.  Now we are loading a shoulder position that is very […]
