About Dr.  Mike Israetel As a lover of science and learning in general, the only negative remark Mike received at his high school parent teacher conferences was that he had no idea how to properly weight lift.  It wasn’t until University that Mike started to look at the science behind weight lifting form.  Yet, he is thankful for doing the "dumb" versions through high school.  This knowledge of doing everything wrong gave him the experience and motivation to jump into the science and learn what is proper and why.

Answer:  While it’s hard to answer each person is different, Devon and Rob give a generic overview of the most common problems they see and different stretches and strengthening exercises to correct alignment as well as open and stabilize the joints. Shoulders Alignment:  First thing you need to do is look at the way your shoulder sits on your back.  Most commonly, people have shoulders that rotate forward and their upper backs round. If you try to lift weights in this alignment, you may experience a limited range of motion.  When you have a limited range of motion, your entire body cannot work the way it should to support you in lifting weights.  You might be putting much stress on some muscles and not working the ones that you should in the exercise. Thus you want to learn how to correct this alignment.   To correct alignment, you need to look at where you are tight and where you are weak.  In the scenerio mentioned above, with a person with shoulders rounded forward, you would want to open the front of the body and strengthen the back of the body.  We recommend a series of rolling either on different balls or on a foam roller. Check out Jill Miller's book, The Roll Model, for a complete list of exercises.  We also recommend her Yoga Tune Up Balls or a Foam Roller. Roll out the following with a ball or foam roller Pectoralis major and minor (mentioned in podcast) Biceps (mentioned in podcast) Triceps Lats Strengthening Exercises Cobras Back Rows Pull Ups Pull Downs Back Flies Knees Alignment:  When looking at your leg alignment check to make sure your hip, knees, and toes create one line.  This is especially important when running and going up stairs.  Similar to the shoulder, misalignment is do to tightness and weakness of different muscles.  For the knees we will focus on how to open the musculature.  We didn’t go into strengthening on the podcast, but keep an eye out for a future blog post. Roll out the following with a ball or foam roller.
